Bus#3 is getting a good going over in the studio parking lot after a 544 mile run from New Orleans last night which put us a little over 2,200 miles for the 6 days we were gone. Call it routine preventative maintainance. #homeiswhereyourbusis #tourbusesgalor #prevost #crewbus #willieandfamilylive #willienelsonandfamily #williescutandputt #willienelsonofficial #florida_coach

Jack Calhoun started Florida Coach over 30 years ago.   He started building Tour Coaches out of a love of music and the desire to provide touring artists with a level of comfort, style, and reliability that was unavailable at that time.

Florida Coach is still owned solely by Jack and is now headed by his son Caleb Calhoun. Florida Coach continues to set the standard by which others are judged into the new millennium.

With the introduction of a brand new fleet of Prevost H3-45 VIP’s, XLII Entertainer’s and MCI J Models Florida Coach remains a leader and innovator in the Tour Coach industry.  Florida Coach has introduced features such as bunk windows and roomier floor plans that other companies are still trying to implement.

Florida Coach is one of the few Tour Coach companies that are Owner Operated. We don’t answer to shareholders or a board of directors. When you call us, you know whom you are dealing with.

As an example of our dedication to keeping our fleet in great condition and our customers happy, you might have seen an episode of VH-1’s “Firsts”. Florida Coach has provided buses for Willie Nelson for 30 Years and recently, one of Willie’s buses passed the Million Mile Mark. It is the first time in the industry that One Bus, on One Tour, with One Driver (Our own Tony Sizemore) has logged over one million miles!

Florida Coach maintains a fleet of over 50 buses, years of experience has taught us that this is the optimum number to maintain a highly reliable fleet and to be able to offer our clients the best drivers available. We firmly believe that you can’t be the largest Tour Coach provider while being the best.

We spare no expense on immediate repairs. Interiors are updated as soon as they are needed, something a lot of our competitors fail to do. We work hard to satisfy our customers so their tours can be as pleasurable as possible.

 

Budrock sent this addendum:

This Bus was originally the Band Bus, then became the Smoking Bus, which evolved into the Crew Bus.

Tony was the Driver and stopped one early morning just outside of Bakersfield and pulled the speedometer which read 999,999.9. This was just before it would have rolled back to all zeros.

Bee, Budrock, and Jody also occasionally drove this bus as relief drivers on long trips.

I believe we put another 30 thousand miles on it before it was retired.”
