Job description

Description

The best trips are almost never remembered for the destination. They're remembered for the driver who got everyone there — safe, on time, and glad they came along for the ride.

Adventure Tours is a rapidly expanding charter bus company, and we're looking for a Motor Coach Operator to join our Long Island, NY team based in Ronkonkoma — someone who takes real ownership of every mile and treats every passenger like they're the reason the trip matters, because they are. As a premier luxury motor coach transportation company, we've built our reputation on a family-oriented culture where drivers aren't just staff on a roster — they're the people our passengers trust their journey to. We're committed to continued growth, and we're building our team the same way we build our routes: with care, and for the long haul.

deserves drivers to match, which is exactly who we're looking for: passionate, skilled Motorcoach Operators ready to join an elite team where excellence is earned, not assumed. Come aboard, and you'll also have the potential to earn gratuities, adding even more to your overall compensation.
