We Bleed Blue

Our goal is to Design Build Sell Service the world's finest school bus.

We come to work every day with one common goal, to design, build, sell and service the world's finest school bus. That's what we do - no distractions, no competing priorities. We are heirs to a rich legacy, one of listening to our customers, embracing their needs, and delivering innovations that lead the market.

What We Stand For...

Committment.

We commit ourselves to four driving priorities:

  • Safety
  • Quality
  • Durability
  • Serviceability

We embody the interests of every child that rides us, every driver that drives us, every service technician that services us and every district that buys us.

More than a business, this work is our heritage, and we have been at it since 1927 – that’s purpose driven.
