One of the most important qualifications to being a motor coach operator is an appropriate attitude.  Recognizing how essential safety is in this profession, a motor coach operator needs to have a positive attitude toward safety.  Risk-taking behind the wheel of a motor coach is unacceptable.

A motor coach operator must be a professional. Motor coach operators are among the most visible employees of Dynamic Tours & Transportation.  The public sees you performing your job, which can result in a perception being formed. It is up to you to help form this perception into one of trust and respect.

All safety issues and concerns are primarily regulated and mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Florida Department of Transportation.   All of our drivers are expected to meet and exceed the minimal standards set forth in the regulations in the FMCSA driver handbook.   We have experienced drivers with million of miles and driving hours combined and the knowledge of all the safety regulations and company policies to assure the well being of our passengers and our employees.  We are always updating and re-educating the drivers on any changes or revisions as they become available.  We also encourage suggestions on how we can improve our safety record.   Our drivers “police” each other on safety issues; they help one another and report those who do not comply to avoid unfortunate incidents.

Here are just a few of the rules and regulations our drivers follow every time they operate our motor coaches:

Motor coach operators shall:

 • Never back up without the assistance of another capable adult.

 • Not to leave the bus unattended when passengers are present.

 • Make sure all aisles and passageways are kept clear.

 • Not to permit animals or potentially hazardous materials or objects in the motor coach.

 • Not to fuel coach while passengers are on the motor coach or while the motor is running.

 • Allow time for passengers to be seated before putting the motor coach in motion.

 • Perform a complete pre-trip inspection and fill out a pre-trip inspection form.
