Yes 😁 it definitely helps when the CHP stops all the traffic for us.

Glad to see your doing well brother

I was the lead/requested driver for most of the NFL teams playing the Bills in Buffalo for a lotta years. Most times it’s the same procedure from arrival pickup to hotel, hotel to game to airport the next day. Some teams may want something done a little differently, you just come up with a plan and it all works out. Most of the drivers had done it many times also, which helps if you need to deviate and go to plan B for whatever reason. I got to know many of the “advance” people from teams over the years and though I can’t drive bus anymore, I still keep in touch with many them. It works out good for the whole time they’re in town when most or all of the drivers have experience in carrying the teams, it takes a lotta worry off of the advance people. Plus we worked well with the Sheriff Dept escorts, we know what they’re gonna do and vice versa. Had to change routes on the fly many times. And getting to the stadium, parking, and out of it to head to the airport. I loved doing the teams. All the drivers got together in the bus or outside, weather depending, and had our own buffet or cookout while watching the game on TV. Even had some Bills Alumni, visiting advance people or whoever wanted to stop by for a burger or whatever we had, they loved that we had our own tailgating going on. I miss not doing it anymore. I’ve gotten so many hats 🧢 over the years too 😆!

@Salesman, I have too many issues with my lower back. I can’t pass the DOT physical anymore due to restrictions and the pain. So I retired, had to give it up.

In Canada for CFL games we are not allowed to leave the side of the coach for the duration of time of the game. Some sort of protocol for evacuation. Cant even watch the game 100ft away. Not cool.

Great video it's neat to see the behind the scenes and the logistics of moving professional sports teams. I drove University football teams from our home yard to their games and that was four busses. You are getting a lot of drive time on a Setra. I didn't understand but was the blue MCI CRT a Storer bus? Next question what type of orchard is by your Modesto yard? Thanks for the video I will be looking forward to the next one.

Not sure why they need a police escort. seems like a waste of taxpayer money to me. Especially for a preseason game.

For Safety and Security i am suprirsed you were seperate from the others bus from the bus pick up location to the airport pick up. I noticed how many of your videos that you attend to hang back and not with the group is there a reason why. If your escorting for the NFL should you all be together for Safety/Security when traveling in case something goes wrong.
