Many operators are breaking away from typical 80-hour classroom/ behind-the-wheel-type training programs and are providing additional training to increase safety; improve vehicle efficiency; or better prepare drivers to perform in unique, area-specific driving conditions.
When its ambitious plan is completed, the Anchorage-based company will have more than 50 Prevosts in its stable of 75 motorcoaches and support vehicles.
Anchorage-based Premier Alaska Tours added two new 2011 J4500 coaches, featuring pillow-top plush seating, a Blaupunkt entertainment system and 110-volt power ports at every seat. Houston’s Continental Bus Lines’ new MCI J4500 coach features a Cummins engine, plush leather seating, Wi-Fi connectivity and in-motion Satellite TV. Both carriers’ new coaches are equipped with three-point passenger seat belts.
Josh Howes has been with Premier Alaska Tours Inc. since 2000 leading the motorcoach division, implementing and overseeing safety operations, and has been instrumental in providing ADA accessible motorcoaches to the Premier fleet.
