Did you know that one of the best parts of transporting athletic teams is getting to see where these athletes are headed next?

Our drivers take pride in what they do every day; whether they're transporting a college program, a professional team, or the next generation of athletes working toward that level.

National Trails had the honor of providing trusted charter bus transportation for Oklahoma University when the Sooners came to Michigan to play the Wolverines at The Big House.

For our drivers, it's more than another trip.

It's an opportunity to be part of the journey; helping athletes and coaches get where they need to be safely, comfortably, professionally, and on time.
And sometimes, years down the road, they get to watch those same athletes take the next step into professional sports.

For athletic departments, that passion matters. The people behind your team's transportation should take pride in helping your program succeed.

🎥 Part 8: Hear what our drivers love most about transporting athletic teams.

🎃 Whether you're behind the wheel or walking the neighborhood, let's keep safety part of the Halloween tradition!

With little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes taking to neighborhood streets, it's important for both trick-or-treaters and drivers to stay alert and look out for one another.

Whether you're walking door to door or driving through the neighborhood, here are a few ways to help keep Halloween fun and safe:

🚶 For Trick-or-Treaters:
• Use sidewalks whenever possible. If there aren't any, walk facing traffic and stay as far to the side of the road as possible.
• Cross at intersections and designated crosswalks. Never dart between parked cars.
• Make costumes safer! Choose bright colors, add reflective tape, and use glow sticks or flashlights to stay visible.
• Put phones away and stay alert. Look both ways before crossing and make eye contact with drivers when possible.
• Younger children should always have an adult nearby.

🚗 For Drivers:
• Slow down in residential neighborhoods and watch for children who may unexpectedly enter the roadway.
• Stay extra alert at intersections, crosswalks, and driveways.
• Eliminate distractions and keep your eyes on the road.
• Turn on your headlights early to improve visibility.
• Never drive impaired. Plan a safe ride home.

At National Trails, safety isn't just something we talk about; it's something we take seriously every day. Let's all do our part to make sure everyone gets home safely after a night of Halloween fun!

👻 Have a safe and happy Halloween from your friends at National Trails!

Behind the wheel of every bus is a person with a story, a big heart, and (a lot) of personality! 💗🎃

This past week, our team brought the spirit to Spirit Week in more ways than one!

From school buses decked out in Halloween decorations to our incredible team members proudly wearing pink for Breast Cancer Awareness, these photos capture what makes the National Trails family so special.

For these coworkers, wearing pink was about more than participating in a Spirit Week theme. As breast cancer survivors, it was a personal reminder of strength, resilience, and the importance of supporting one another. Their stories are a powerful reminder that sometimes the people sitting beside us have overcome challenges we may never know about.

And that's what makes our team special. It's the creativity, compassion, and genuine connections that extend far beyond the driver's seat.

We're proud of the people who bring their personalities to work, brighten someone's day, and show up for the causes that matter. Because at National Trails, it's not just about getting people where they need to go. It's about the people who make the journey meaningful. ❤️

A big thank-you to our team for sharing these moments with us! 💝 Chances are, breast cancer has touched a life close to yours. If there's someone you'd like to celebrate, remember, or show support for, leave them a little love in the comments. 💗

Did you know that your transportation experience is only as good as the people behind the wheel?

At National Trails, our professional drivers are a key part of what makes group transportation reliable and stress-free.

Tony was recently recognized by a customer for being professional, on-time, and accommodating; the kind of service that helps groups stay on schedule and passengers feel taken care of.

From the first pickup to the final drop-off, our drivers do more than drive. They provide the service experience our customers count on.

Do you know what professionalism looks like from the driver's seat?

For a college athletic team, it looks like more than simply knowing how to operate a motorcoach.

It means being prepared, punctual, courteous, attentive, professional, and focused on the passengers from the moment the team arrives.

National Trails had the honor of providing trusted charter bus transportation for Oklahoma University when the Sooners came to Michigan to play the Wolverines at The Big House.

Our drivers play an important role in the experience; helping athletes, coaches, and staff feel welcomed while providing the dependable, comfortable transportation they need throughout a demanding itinerary.

For athletic departments, a professional driver is another layer of confidence that transportation is being handled by someone who understands the importance of the assignment.

The bus gets you there. The driver helps shape the experience along the way.

How do you make a charter bus journey feel truly luxurious?

Start with the amenities: plush seating, Wi-Fi, climate control, entertainment, onboard restrooms, footrests, and plenty of storage.

Then add something you can’t install in a bus: exceptional professional drivers.

Our Metro Detroit drivers are dedicated to making every journey safe, comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable; because premium transportation is about more than the vehicle. It’s about the experience.

**And YES - it's a VEGAN leatherette!

Do you know what a professional transportation experience should feel like for an athletic department?

It should feel organized from the first interaction and welcoming the moment the team steps onto the bus.

When National Trails had the honor of providing trusted charter bus transportation for Oklahoma University as the Sooners came to Michigan to play the Wolverines at The Big House, our team wasn't just focused on getting the buses there on time.

Our customer service team was there to be responsive and helpful, while our professional drivers were ready to greet passengers with a friendly, courteous attitude and make the team feel welcome.

Because the transportation experience reflects on the people providing it.

For athletic departments, that means working with a transportation partner that delivers professional communication, dependable service, courteous drivers, and a positive experience from pickup to drop-off.

The details matter. And so do the people delivering them.

Do you know why can't students stand while a school bus is moving? And why do some school buses have seat belts while others don't?

Here's what families should know.

WHY STUDENTS MUST STAY SEATED:
A sudden stop or unexpected movement can cause a standing passenger to lose balance. Staying seated helps reduce the risk of falls and keeps the aisle clear.

WHY SOME SCHOOL BUSES HAVE SEAT BELTS:
School buses use safety systems designed for their size and construction. Large school buses generally rely on compartmentalization: closely spaced, energy-absorbing seats designed to help protect passengers. Federal rules require lap or lap/shoulder belts at designated seating positions on small school buses weighing 10,000 pounds or less.

Not every bus has the same restraint system, so students should always follow the driver's instructions and use any seat belts provided as required.

At National Trails, we believe understanding the reason behind safety rules helps students, families, and organizations make informed transportation decisions.

Did you know why school buses use different safety systems? Share this with a parent, teacher, or school trip coordinator.

Michigan drivers: Do you know what you should do when you approach a school bus?

DO:
Watch for amber warning lights and prepare to stop.
Stay alert for children near the bus.
Stop when red warning lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, as required by law.

DON'T:
Speed up to beat a bus that's preparing to stop.
Pass a stopped school bus when the law requires you to stop.
Assume every child is visible to the driver or other motorists.

Remember: The danger isn't limited to the road directly in front of a school. Children may be boarding, exiting, or crossing near the bus.

National Trails is committed to promoting awareness around safe school transportation in Metro Detroit and throughout Michigan.

Save this reminder, share it with a new driver, and help make school bus safety part of every driver's routine.
