Our Drivers

The Holiday Standard

Professional drivers. Exceptional training. A standard nearly 50 years in the making.
[

Safety & Qualifications

The Holiday driving staff meets or exceeds all Federal Department Of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration standards in regard to motorcoach operation. Each of our applicants is given a pre-employment DOT physical, and drug test before beginning work. Our drivers must maintain required DOT qualifications for commercial drivers including active physical, MVR check, and random drug testing.

In addition to Federally required standards each Holiday driver is subjected to thorough background checks including work, credit, and criminal history.

At Holiday, we hire drivers that are going to provide you with the safest and most professional experience possible. Each driver has a CDL license and is experienced before employment with Holiday.

Training & Development

Before each driver starts working for Holiday, they must complete a week long training program that is both classroom and on-the-road experience intensive to give our drivers the knowledge and skills to provide you with the best experience. After completing our training class, drivers are partnered with a more senior driver to begin actual assignments and are carefully assigned to trips to slowly increase their skill level. All of our coaches feature two way radios that aid in the bus-to-bus communication on multiple bus assignments.

Regular Safety meetings include customer service, coach operation & safety training. All customer trips are surveyed following completion and this information is used as a training tool.

The Holiday Uniform Standard

Excellence Should Look Like Excellence.

A premium motorcoach deserves a professional driver.

Since Holiday’s beginning in 1978, our drivers have been expected to maintain a professional uniform standard. It was an expectation established by our founders, Nancy & Dwight Thompson, and it’s a tradition we’ve continued for nearly five decades.

In an industry where driver appearance can vary considerably, Holiday has chosen to maintain a standard that sets us apart.

 

The Holiday Look

When transporting passengers, Holiday drivers wear what we call our Class A uniform: a crisp white dress shirt, black dress pants, black belt, black dress shoes and our signature Holiday red tie. Approved sweaters, blazers, vests and outerwear may also be worn.

The white shirt and red tie are unmistakably Holiday, reflecting the colors that have represented our company for generations.

But wearing the right pieces is only part of the standard. Uniforms are expected to be clean, pressed, wrinkle-free and professionally presented.

Why Does It Matter?

A uniform doesn’t make someone a safe driver, and a red tie doesn’t make someone great at customer service.

But details matter.

We invest significantly in our motorcoaches, our maintenance program, our training and our people. When a customer chooses Holiday, we believe the driver who arrives with that motorcoach should reflect the same level of care and professionalism.

For many passengers, their driver may be the only Holiday employee they ever meet. One person can shape an entire group’s impression of our company.

We want it to be the right one.

On days when drivers are moving motorcoaches without passengers, we allow a more relaxed uniform known as Class B. Weather and certain special circumstances may also require approved variations. But when we’re serving our passengers, the Class A uniform is the Holiday standard.

It’s one more way we deliver on a promise that has guided us for generations:

Experience! Excellence!

Customer Satisfaction

For the last six years Holiday's driving staff has maintained an impressive 3.93 score out of a possible 4.00 on thousands of trips!

Customer satisfaction has long been a Holiday trademark.

Ready to Represent Holiday?

Being a Holiday driver is about more than getting passengers from one place to another. Our drivers are trusted with our customers, our equipment and our reputation.

We set high standards for safety, service and professionalism, and we’re looking for drivers who take pride in meeting them.

If that sounds like the kind of team you want to be part of, we’d like to hear from you.
