Safety First


AT SOUTHERN COACHES, SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT
We have an outstanding safety record for both our vehicles and our drivers.  Our documented ratings include:
 
  • HIGHEST U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (DOT) SAFETY RATING
    Southern Coaches has maintained the highest US DOT Safety Rating, "Satisfactory", since the first carrier was put into commission in 1989. Maintaining this rating requires a strong commitment and dedication to driver training, maintenance of our vehicles, and record keeping. DOT Safety Audits are performed without notice and at random. To review any carrier's DOT Safety Rating, refer to www.safersys.org (see link below). Our DOT Number is 430145.
    Last Audit Report was February 3, 1995
    Rating Current as of June 26, 2005
     
  • HIGHEST MILITARY SAFETY RATING
    Issued by the Military Traffic Management Command Southern Coaches received a top rating on its Facility, Terminal, and Equipment Inspection conducted by Consolidated Safety Services. Carriers are rated on a scale of "1" (Outstanding) to "5" (Unsatisfactory). Maintaining our rating of "1" indicates that we are doing an "outstanding" job in maintaining compliance with both the Code of Federal Regulations and the Military Bus Agreement. Southern Coaches is proud to be approved to transport our military troops.

  • LOWEST "OUT-OF-SERVICE" RATING
    Since our first bus rolled onto the highway in 1989, Southern Coaches has maintained the lowest "out-of-service" roadside vehicle inspection rate possible, a "0". Southern Coaches, to date, has not had a vehicle placed "out-of-service" during a roadside inspection by any governing body inspector.
