Nice video James beautiful coaches

[@richardwilson6787]

What a great video James! Very slick production too. Well done!

[@AMStationEngineer]

Miss the 'almost supernatural', but universally palpable 'power' one gets when making sequential turns during 'multi-bus moves'. For me, at least, the only thing that came close, was double-clutching into a flawless downshift, with that 8v92-T/Fuller 5 Speed manual gearbox, on the 96 A we purchased in the late 1980's. Best of luck with the new business alliance, and have a great holiday season, James and family!

[@keithhayward6027]

Very well done!

[@ka0tyk]

I was actually talking to someone about their tesla, etc... mentioned your electric experience across the US and they actually responded "oh was that peoria charter and motorcoach world?" apparently their dad had been a driver for many years for your company. Crazy how small a world it is, yet one great businesses reputation reaches so far across the US. Loved the video and beautiful fleet you have there. #rvthatbus

congratulations Peoria charter on the new Prevosts. the newer design is very nice.

Wow this is quite the epic announcement video, well done! That and congrats on cracking 30k+ subscribers!

Thank you so much! Appreciate it 👍😁

So exciting!!

Briefly distracted by the dogs. ✌🏾

Lol 😂

[@crabbymilton390]

I already commented on this great video on your other channel James. I’ll just add that coming out of the garage that it reminded me of fire apparatus about to leave the station with lights and sirens.

Pretty Cool!

[@volodymyrgrybelnikov5593]

Great busses, great people , great video

[@MrCgs60649]

That was Kick Ass !

[@king_br0k]

making motorcoaches seem as cool as fighter jets they might not be as fast, but the crew can be just as professional

[@crabbymilton390]

Plus a heck of a lot more comfortable.

[@MotorcoachWorld]

I like the way you think. That fighter jet feel was exactly what I was going for when I started planning for this video.

[@robertnewlon1797]

Awesome Presentation James !!!

[@katherinerice7921]

Awesome video! Gorgeous coaches!

Thank you Katherine! Happy Holidays!

[@brad_Ca]

Awesome video. 🫡

[@joshalex93]

Dang, y'all got some new H3-45 too?? Don't get me wrong I do love my older MCI D models but the H3 are growing on me.. Currently I drive an 07 with a DD60 / ZF Astronic transmission. Not only does it run good, it sounds great too.

[@thegodblogger3812]

I'm jealous. Always dreamed of owning a PD4501, an MC5, MC6, and MC7. Maybe even an Eagle 10.

[@actemple3282]

Great job James there gorgeous 😊

[@ParthBhardwaj-k5t]

Great video!

[@jeremiahsatterlee3940]

Looks like a trailer for a movie.

[@TruckerTRex]

I watch your videos a lot, and it helped me with getting my CDL Class B this past summer. I was thinking about calling up different coach companies and seeing if they'd be willing to hire me for Summer 2024. I'm 20 years old (will be 21 by Summer since I know companies usually require 21 for interstate travel); in your experience have you seen stuff like this happen?

[@TruckerTRex]

...got a summer job in Alaska driving motorcoaches!

[@Cancare14]

Very nice video and beautiful new H3-45. James is Dennis still working at Signature? It looks like you guys are running out of Chicago now? Congratulations

[@pourquoiunidentifiant]

you did that yourself ? Kinda crazy awesome video.

[@MotorcoachWorld]

It took a team a very dedicated people to make this video. The drivers did the driving, the management staff arranged the drivers. My friend and colleague Albert helped film and get drone shots. I coordinated everyone, filmed with my cameras and did the editing. 😊

[@thegodblogger3812]

I grew up in the 60s and 70s when the Parlor Diesels and MCIs were premier motorcoach cars. What brand is considered the Mercedes of the business today?

[@MotorcoachWorld]

Well there are Mercedes Tourrider Coaches. They just got introduced into the states last year

[@UNDERTAKER2621]

[@domingoslopes1108]

but who is buying whom

[@AntonAtan]

What's the deal with having 2 logos Peoria and Signature? Also I noticed Peoria used to get MCIs and now you are switching to Prevos ?

[@MotorcoachWorld]

We have partnered with signature transportation group. So the buses that we keep up in Chicago have both logos, and signature buses have both logos. We still have many different make and models of motor. For this video shoot we wanted to use the newest buses in our Fleet which were the Prevost h345

[@puffkendrick6850]

We're on the road to the Final Four. Let's go!

[@JOYR1234]

are any of your buses ADA compliant

[@MotorcoachWorld]

Yes they are.

[@me-it9jn]

You should make more vids with the new h345!

[@og_blue3925]

Nice video, i’m as confused as everyone else. First Tourriders, now H3’s what gives?

[@crabbymilton390]

They likely are taking a generic approach. In other words don’t favor one builder or another. Given the order backlog, you have to jump at the chance or make do without any buses you may need. Personally, I like the standardization idea. That way everybody is used to the same things. Of course the day variety is fun too but it’s a pain. See nothing in this world is perfect is it?😩

[@MotorcoachWorld]

@@crabbymilton390you seem to have a really grasp and understanding of the MotorCoach Industry. Can I hire you?? Do you want a job??

[@crabbymilton390]

@@MotorcoachWorld I’m flattered and honored. I may be too old of a geezer at 59. All kidding aside I am in the early stages of pondering some sort of scale back. I’ve been a delivery driver for the last 38 years (none CDL) but I have it too good. I often think about driving motor coaches perhaps part time. I appreciate the kind words James.

[@MotorcoachWorld]

@@crabbymilton390 Most of our drivers start their motorcoach career at your age. They come in without a CDL. We Pay and train people who want to drive a coach with no CDL. Keep it in the back of your mind.

[@crabbymilton390]

@@MotorcoachWorld I most certainly will.

[@alvincoston2051]

Did you rename or merge Peoria?

[@montana_patriot]

I was going to ask the same thing, if PCC is merging or what? PCC got into Champaign when they got Illini Swallow, and ever since, it seems like they are doing less with Peoria and B/N and focusing on Champaign.

[@MotorcoachWorld]

No we did not rename or merge. We are simply partnering with signature up in Chicago

[@MotorcoachWorld]

​@@montana_patriotPeoria Charter never got Illini swallow. Peoria Charter is also not just focusing on Champaign. We have 3 different branches.. Peoria, Champaign and Chicago. Each branch works with the other branches to grow the company.

[@montana_patriot]

Do you plan on increasing the service from B/N to O'Hare?

[@MotorcoachWorld]

@@montana_patriot yes if we can hire more drivers. It's been very tough to fill our driver shortage. So it's hard to expand.

[@titanxing3514]

Prevost is best coach

[@jeffherdz]

That's debatable.

[@crabbymilton390]

@@jeffherdz They all have their fine and bad points. You can certainly concur that PREVOST MCI and VAN-HOOL are better than an over the road version of a FOREST RIVER family of builders. Perhaps James will do a review of those if his company has any of those.
