Great tour of your bus. I have recently retired and have applied for a few motor coach driver positions. I told my wife once I have finished my normal day job, this kid is going to drive tour buses! I am looking forward to this tremendously. The company has a fleet of Prevosts and some of those mini coaches. Take care Shon and God Bless!
I am so excited for you and your family. This has been my prayer for 40 years. Thank you so very much for showing us your wonderful blessing. Enjoy it and remember to thank the Lord who made this possible. 😊
I seen of these at the Hilton today. It is the Texas Tech Red Raiders footbal team bus. It is red and has the name "Provost Red Raiders" on it. I don't know anything about sports or motor coaches so I had to do my research in order to find out what was going on. I originally thought that Provost was a name of a city that they were from. Lol. They are playing the UofA Wildcats tomorrow, Saturday.
Greetings from Northampton uk England. I used to drive buses and coaches sadly due to medical issues I can no longer work. That is certainly an awesome coach. We don't have ones with detritus power. In the UK we mainly run volvos or scania but also have man daf which use paccar engines cummins also are common engines used here.
Hey Shon!!! Great video!! I've been a bus fan since I was a kid in Philly. I remember riding on Trailways Golden Eagles way back when. I loved them and MCI products until the Rolls Royce of the industry showed off LOL!! Be safe and stay alert!!! Great job on your working the video too!! More vids when you can!!!
peace my brother , i really enjoy your videos as l am a driver as well. l was listening to you explain that the mirror in the upper left corner above your head is to check your blind spot. that mirror is for when you come to any intersection and you can not see opposing traffic approaching from the right it should then be used to look down that roadway and the spot mirror is used to check your blind spots.
Thanks for the tour of your coach! I'm in the process of trying to get hired by a coach company to be a driver. I always admired the drivers I've had in the past...never thought I'd possibly become one myself, but I am looking forward to it! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again! -Arie
3one6tv it's a blast driving these big things especially when ppl think you're gonna hit them and you glue this thing right around them. Just have fun with it. Never let your guard down. Respect the coach and it's size.
Wow Shon you really seem to know your stuff how much would it cost to own one of them to your self or rent i LOVE tour buses especially luxury tour buses
Reggie Smith thank you for your comment. So to own one it depends on how they are equipped. But this brand new was about $750k. We have some other ones that are in the 7 figure range. To rent a lot of factors come into play. Where are you going, how many people, and how long will the driver be needed.
Prevost used Detroit exclusively until 2010 when Volvo purchased Prevost. Since then, they’ve had 13L Volvo engines in them. I like the old Series 60 Detroit engines. They were reliable, got great fuel mileage, and were simple to repair. I own an H3-45 myself. Prevost is the premiere motorcoach. Nobody else comes close as far as heavy duty construction.
Patrick Noble As an update, Volvo owned a small percentage of Prevost as far back as 2000. When Volvo purchased a controlling interest in Prevost somewhere around 2009 they started installing D13 Volvo engines in them. Now, Volvo has their own line of motorcoaches under their brand name but both Volvo & Prevost share many components. They aren’t identical up they do have shared components. I prefer Prevost motorcoaches but they have their issues just like a MCI and other buses do. They all have one thing in common and that is when they break you’re about to get the weenie bride off in you as far as parts prices.
Man i thought this was a black man showing off his PREVOST (RV) COACH….not a bus….I was like….OH SHIT, A BLACK MAN WITH A $2M plus coach….MR EVANS, YOU DISAPPOINTED ME… 😂
I sure do like motor coaches these new prevost look hella nice.a coach with a back camera now that's something I've never seen before.id like to drive a coach someday.how long have you been driving coaches bro and what do you enjoy the most about coach bus driving.and whats your most fav bus to drive
Mado the Prevost coaches in my opinion are the best on the market. I've been driving them for just over a year now. My company only operates Prevost motorcoaches. You should go for it brother.
@@MrCevans1026 I would go for it but the schools cost a lot of money in my state.like theres one i know its well over 3 grand plus for three weeks,granted it would be worth the investment.im glad you enjoy driving man keep it up with your passion my friend.If i were to get a class b truck license could that same class b license be allowed for driving a bus or does someone need a seperate license for driving a bus
@@MrCevans1026 the same class b with air brakes and passenger endorsement thats it?so if i were to go to a school and they offered training for a class b truck and i got tested on that vehicle i could still add those endorsements and then from there id still be able to drive buses?that changes everything that sure makes it sounds a lot easier if thats the case i might contemplate going that route if i end up going to a school that doesnt offer bus lessons but still clsss b trucks.you just made it sound a lot easier i didnt realize that was an option im amazed
I have a bus license but for only military buses. I’m able to get my cdl at the bus school on post. I was wanting to know if I were able to get hired to drive motor coaches like yours starting out ? Or would they want more experience. 6 years active duty military
where is the GPS its not built in the radio like cars ? you did not talk about that in you video they show if any slow down on highway ahead so you can get off go around the mess ahead you be on time at your next stop Thanks Paul I just got a bus job part time
paul st pierre the gps in these buses are actually located behind us which is so stupid. It’s over the drivers left shoulders. We are trying to get safety to mount them in front of us on the windshield. Working progress.
Life of Shon Evans I came through your way taking a church group out on an Indian Reservation that was about 2hrs. Northwest of Oklahoma City. Nothing but fracking wells and rattlesnakes out there! Take care my friend. I’ve been a Prevost driver for about 6 years. You get the road in your blood and it’s hard to get it out.
THANKS FOR THE TOUR , BEAUTIFUL , IT REMINDS WHEN I WAS A CHATHAM COUNTY SCHOOL BUS DRIVER. I DROVE. A 96 PASSIN̈GER, BLESSINGS, ROSEMARY FERGUSON
Good demo. Learned something new. Thanks for posting. Good job.
I’ve been in the industry for 14 years in the phoenix area and I wish I still had that level of enthusiasm

Cool as hell.
When did prevost start putting Detroit engines I they only use Volvo engines
Carl Straka I think since 2013 I was told

4 years later are you still driving with this coach bus company?
Great videos. Got a question do motor coaches have to go through weight Station keep up the good work
James Dunaway they are always required but there were times when we did. Usually you can go right pass
Life of Shon Evans thanks
I have a bus license but for only military buses. I’m able to get my cdl at the bus school on post. I was wanting to know if I were able to get hired to drive motor coaches like yours starting out ? Or would they want more experience. 6 years active duty military
They would most likely want some experience first
Is it just me, or do coaches in America look kinda weird compared to Europe manufactured ones?
Good job to have
Hello Mr.Evans it's Sophia and serenity were you used to be our bus Driver we miss you I'm in 4th now serenity is in 5th
gacha_ bullterrier hey there. Miss you guys too. Hope you have an incredible school year. Best wishes
@@MrCevans1026ok serenity says hello
Awesome ride man! Is the transmission a ZF or Volvo i-Shift?
Mr Crunchie Crunch is a Alison 6 speed
@@MrCevans1026 nice! My last assigned coach was a Van Hool T2145.
Would love to get behind the wheel of a H3-45 again.
Do you have the destination sign on the coach?
No. Only when you’re being escorted by law enforcement. But it’s just a sign of who you’re transporting
Do you guys go to Blythe, California?
It's been almost a year since I've been behind the wheel of that beauty

Does it have lifting up from back tires?
Kyle Chambers yes sir. Sure does and their awesome. Makes turning in parking lots and tight spaces so much easier
Awesome! I love prevost buses! I would like to ask if you can do new video for lifting up from back tires and something you can do? :)
You make an awesome video!! I love it!
Kyle Chambers OK cool. I'll see what I can do. It's still hot here in PHX. As soon as it cools off a bit you got it
Life of Shon Evans yes sir! You have an amazing day and stay safe your trip!
Engine is actually a Volvo
D15
can you use your phone for GPS thy work good on todays phone thats what use must of the time
paul st pierre yes you can use your phone. I use the waze map app. Great navigation system.
Does the tag axle provide steering capability?
No not at all. Just stability while driving
Can you do another video on your bus
school bus guru like another tour video?
Life of Shon Evans no a vlog
school bus guru I'm editing as we speak
...no steering tag?
These Here no. Prevost turn very well to be such a big vehicle
@@MrCevans1026 ...I have a CDL that's unused for moment 🤢
Hey man 💪💪💪
When you headed East toward N.C. ?
