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.

Meet AAMC Member James C. Johnson, Jr. of J&M Travel & Motorcoach in Louisville, Ky.

Name: James C Johnson Jr
Company: J & M Travel & Motorcoach Operation
City, State: Louisville, Ky.
Years in the Industry: 26 years as an operator

How did you first get involved in the industry?

After my football career I needed something to do, so I started driving at the age of 21 and fell in love with driving.

Who has inspired your career?

My uncle before he passed away, he was a truck driver. I rode with him one day and said that I would like to drive.

What has been the greatest challenge|opportunity in your career?

I did a Korean tour through Canada, and I was requested every year after my first.

What advice would you give to others about working in this industry?

If you’re not a people person, and you don’t like to drive a lot, then this is not the career for you.

Why is it important for you to belong to the African American Motorcoach Council?

I feel that we, as African Americans, need to come together and lift each other up. The connection is a must. If you can’t come together with your own, then how can you come together with other operators?!
