Frequently Asked Questions

Is Motor Coach Travel Safe?

The bus industry represents the safest mode of transportation on the road, with approximately 40,000 motor coaches operating in North America. Safety is a top priority for all. The motorcoach industry is proud of its safety record, and wants you, the passenger to know that choosing Samson Tours means choosing safe travel.

When checking out our competition, ask about their safety record and maintenance practices. You can view carriers’ safety ratings online at www.safersys.org (Never charter from a company with an Unsatisfactory rating). Samson Trailways continues to hold the highest possible rating with both the Department of Transportation and the Department of Defense.

Are Your Bus Drivers Thoroughly Screened?

All of our drivers undergo pre-employment screening and background checks and, once hired, are required to keep a current DOT driver’s file, commercial driver’s license, DOT physical examination, and an approved Medical Examiner’s Card. All U.S. drivers are required to have a valid, current Driver Standards/Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a “passenger” endorsement. Samson Trailways performs random drug screening throughout the year on all of its drivers. Our school bus drivers receive additional screening as required by the Georgia Department of Education.

Ask for proof of a valid, current insurance certificate that provides a minimum, in the United States, of $5 million in liability coverage insurance.
