I am the new CEO of Peoria Charter

[@Booger414]

Wow, from a kid who convinced his parents to take him on a bus trip to the CEO of a bus company. CONGRATULATIONS!

[@ariceagaandros]

Congratulations on becoming the new CEO of Peoria Charter, James. I am beyond positive that the company will be in good hands under your leadership.

[@AirWasTaken]

Agreed.

[@TylerNally]

This promotion was about the ONLY non-April-Fool's-Day jokes to occur on April 1st. Congrats dude.

[@richardmoore2590]

Wow, James, Peoria Charter is so very fortunate to have a knowledgeable personable CEO. You are definitely the epitome of what a CEO should be, caring, compassionate yet strong enough to bring a company into the future. You have my upmost respect, and I couldn’t be more proud. So very glad that you will still make videos and occasionally get behind the wheel. Godspeed my friend.

[@MotorcoachWorld]

Wow, thank you!

Congratulations James, you are a true credit to your parents and the industry!

James, I am so sorry for being late on this message. I just came across this one. I am soooo happy one of us has been promoted to a higher position. If ANYONE deserves it, it's you! Just remember you can't get Operator out of your system. You never will. Which I am proud that you said, "no matter what happens". I appreciate you James for making "Motorcoach World", keep up the good work, and LOVE the fact you still have the inner child. I have a LARGE bus collection, and Hot Wheels, AND still play with them. Good luck, and God's Blessings to you! I hope you do keep it till the 100th year.

[@ko9446]

Congratulations. I’m a retired heavy equipment mechanic that is now driving coaches. Why am I working, driving coach’s are fun. A couple days a week keeps me going. I’m willing to bet you will still be behind the wheel, maybe not as often as you would want.

James, congratulations on becoming CEO of Peoria Charter. I am a disability advocate from La Grange, Illinois and had communication with you during your electric bus cross country adventure. I would love to meet with you and discuss how motor coach transportation can be used by persons with disabilities. Please advise me if interested.

[@whereisthedollar]

I haven't seen a video of yours in a while. What a wonderful surprise this was for me to see this today. Congratulations to you. I'm not a bus enthusiast per se. But, I have watched a number of your videos over the years becasue you make them so entertaining. You love your job and the hard work has paid off. A salute to the former President (seems like a very decent individual too) for recognizing your talent.

[@michaelquillen2679]

Congrats, James!!! Your ideas of how to be a good leader are great. As a former middle-level manager, all I can say is make sure your staff is well- trained, remove the obstacles that keep them from doing a great job, equip them with the tools the need to do a great job, and get the hell out of the way and let them do great things! But don't forget, when they do great things, let them know they are great! People don't quit jobs, they quit poor leaders. Best of luck in your new journey!

[@paulbergen9114]

That was oh so true at the transit system I worked for. There were several of us who had the gumption and Leadership to make things work But as time went on the management level swelled and most of them didn't have any concept of how things work. I always made it a point to say those simple words please and thank you and I meant it and the people knew that it was from the heart. Even though certain days could be tougher challenges I actually enjoyed going to work to see if I could beat the odds and keep everything going smoothly because that's how the transportation industry is

[@MrCTCuban26]

Mr. Wong, good Luck to you, may your company continue to thrive under your leadership.

[@businjay]

Congrats James, I saw this a week ago on PCC page. I am kinda the same way. I don't drive a bus anymore but I would only drive here in Denver for arrow cause the Fleet manager gene was such a smart guy, I only wanted to drive for the best. I even only bought busses from arrow when i started my own company, something to be said about good companies. I bought my first bus at 17. so 25 years ago. even though I don't play with buses anymore, Still part f the motorcoach world. Congrats James!! BTW am a setra boy at heart. Thank Gene for that. :-)
