Welcome to The Motorcoach Insider

                            Why I Started This Blog

Welcome!

My name is Danny B., and I serve as the General Manager and Chief Financial Officer of BuyCoachBus. Every day, I work with charter companies, churches, transportation providers, fleet managers, and first-time buyers looking for dependable commercial passenger vehicles.

Through my experience in fleet operations, purchasing, sales, and financial management, I've seen firsthand what separates a smart investment from an expensive mistake. Buying a motorcoach isn't just about finding the lowest price—it's about understanding maintenance history, operating costs, reliability, and choosing the right equipment for your business.

That's why I created The Motorcoach Insider.

This blog is dedicated to sharing practical knowledge about the motorcoach and commercial transportation industry. Whether you're buying your first shuttle bus, expanding a charter fleet, or simply researching different makes and models, you'll find valuable information designed to help you make informed decisions.

Here you'll find articles covering topics such as:

  • Buying used motorcoaches
  • Fleet maintenance and preventative maintenance
  • MCI, Volvo, Van Hool, Prevost, and shuttle bus reviews
  • DOT compliance and inspections
  • Fleet management strategies
  • Financing and purchasing tips
  • Industry news and trends
  • Equipment spotlights and inventory updates

My goal is simple: to provide honest, experience-based information that helps transportation operators and buyers make better decisions and build successful businesses.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope you'll follow along as we explore the motorcoach industry together.

Safe travels,

Danny B.

          Insurance Isn't Just Getting Expensive.           It's Changing the Motorcoach Business. New Industry Data Shows Just How Serious the Pressure Has Become By Danny B. For years, motorcoach operators have been saying the same thing: Insurance is getting out of control. Until now, much of that conversation has been based on individual renewal experiences, conversations between operators, and stories of companies receiving increases despite relatively clean loss histories. Now we have numbers. And they're difficult to ignore. The American Bus Association Foundation released preliminary findings from its new national motorcoach insurance study this week. The survey generated 260 completed responses from 320 participating bus companies and provides one of the clearest pictures yet of what insurance is doing to private operators. The headline number says plenty: 98% of responding operators reported insurance premium increase...

  Trump Is Reshaping Commercial Transportation. What Is It Doing to the Private Motorcoach Industry? Since returning to office, the Trump administration has changed diesel regulations, CDL enforcement, equipment taxes, tariffs and highway policy. Some of those decisions could lower costs for private motorcoach operators. Others are already making equipment more expensive. I went through the major federal actions to see where the private passenger transportation industry actually fits. By Dhinel “Danny” Biyanwela If you follow transportation policy in Washington right now, trucking gets most of the attention. Driver qualifications, CDL enforcement, diesel emissions, tariffs, equipment costs and highway regulations are constantly in the news. But private motorcoach companies operate many of the same heavy-duty engines, employ CDL drivers, use the same interstate highway system and deal with many of the same federal regulations. So I wanted to know something pretty simple. When the Tr...

  Prevost: Why Operators, Drivers and Mechanics Still Have Opinions About This Coach The Coaches That Built the American Charter Industry — Part II By Dhinel “Danny” Biyanwela There are certain conversations you can start around motorcoach people without even trying very hard. MCI or Prevost? H3 or X3? Which one rides better? Which one is easier to work on? Which one holds its value? Which one would your drivers rather take on a five-day tour? Prevost is one of those brands where everybody seems to have an opinion, and after looking through the industry conversation surrounding the company over the last decade, I think that is a much more interesting story than simply going back through 100 years of company history. Because the people looking at the same coach are often looking at completely different things. The driver is thinking about the cockpit, visibility and how the coach handles after eight hours behind the wheel. The mechanic is thinking about how difficult it will be to r...
