Motorcoach Companies Helping Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction, impacting thousands of families and communities along the Atlantic Coast. Now, more than ever, our efforts can make a difference. Several motorcoach companies are stepping up to provide essential support, supplies, and aid to help these communities recover. Join us in this relief effort by donating or volunteering.

How You Can Help

You can get involved in the following ways:

  • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions go directly toward providing essentials like food, water, and shelter for those affected. You can donate directly to local relief organizations.
  • Supply Donations: Essential items like bottled water, canned goods, hygiene products, blankets, and first aid supplies are urgently needed. Find local drop-off points where you can bring these much-needed supplies.
  • Volunteer: Consider volunteering your time to help distribute supplies or assist with rebuilding efforts. Local organizations and motorcoach companies are organizing efforts to transport volunteers and supplies to the affected areas.

DrivingForce: How Creative is Your Compensation?

To attract and retain drivers in this market many companies are changing how they compensate. The Driving Force spoke with several operators and put together a list of trends that go beyond the basic concept of competitive wages.

  • Guaranteed minimum daily rate.
  • Compensation based on a percentage of revenue.
  • Mileage-based compensation.
  • Gratuity included on all charters.
  • Meal allowances.
  • Cell phone or fuel allowance.
  • Referral pay per mile.
  • Tier Systems – payment based on seniority.
  • Longevity bonuses.
  • Frequency of Pay-weekly vs bi-weekly.

It is important to include all of this information as part of your total compensation package that goes beyond an hourly rate. Your company’s total compensation package should include all of your benefits, wages and forms of payment including paid time off.  Don’t sell your company short by not providing the potential employee with everything they will receive working for you.

Let us know what you are doing to pay your drivers.  Email us at drivingforce@buses.org. We want to hear from you.
