Grady Morgan (pictured with 1st Lady) longtime Greyhound Bus Driver. I met with before embarking on my Greyhound adventure. After listening to Grady’s advise and my gut my Greyhound path ended pretty quickly. It was just not the right fit for me at the time. Grady wrote a Book “Memoirs of Greyhound Driver “ which is a great read for any aspiring professional bus drivers. Working with the Miss America Contestants in 2008 had to be the highlight of my Charter Bus Career while employed at Coach Skyline My 1st Driving Experience 1958 South Pasadena, CA 76 Miss America 2008 Kirsten Haglund
Job #39 Coach Skyline, San Gabriel, CA 2006 – 2008 Bus Driver / Sales & Marketing Manager Coming home from the Greyhound experience I still felt like driving but did not want to be away from home. We had a nice home in Long Beach and I was seeing my daughter Faren every other weekend. Having dogs who we treat like family was another reason I wanted a job where I could be home as much as possible. I answered an ad for a bus driver in San Gabriel for a tour company. I was hired at the interview to be a bus tour marketing /salesperson and part time driver. I really enjoyed the job, especially the driving and interacting with all the groups that booked charter bus services through us. We booked everything from day trips for groups to Santa Barbara to weddings, sporting events and more. My highlight of working with Coach Skyline was booking the Miss America Pageant for our daily outings on our buses during their 10 day stay in So Cal. We provided daily bus outings originating from the Queen Mary Hotel where they were staying and preparing for the pageant before finally heading to Las Vegas to compete. Getting to go on the Bus Trips with the ladies was a thrill and meeting the young ladies was something I will always cherish. Our owner who was one of the nicest employers I ever worked for and was very fair. My employer was kind enough to send me to China for 10 days during my employment for the China International Travel Show. It was an experience I will never forget. The company ran into some difficulties out of my control and I felt it was in my best interest to resign which I did. The company ultimately closed their doors. To this day I still stay in touch with my former employer who now owns another business outside of the charter bus business. Job #40 The Parking Spot LAX – 2009 Bus Driver Airport Shuttle If you like hauling luggage and driving loops to the airport and back to the parking terminal over an eight-hour shift then this is the ultimate job. For me it was pretty exciting to pick up passengers at the parking lot and transport them to the departure gate for their flight and then pick up arrivals. The tips were very good. On a good day you could walk away with tips of $100 on top of your $10 an hour wage for an annual income if you worked 5 days a week 8 hours a day amounting to $45,000 to $60,000 depending on tips. I was bored driving in circles after a few months so I resigned. 77
