Northstar Bus Lines recently added 10 brand new buses to its Minneapolis fleet. The buses were part of the Dera Grant Northstar was awarded. All 10 are International buses, fresh off the lot with less than 13,000 miles on them. The best part is they are CLEAN, and there is nothing like the NEW BUS smell!

It’s always exciting adding new additions to our fleet. However, this time what was truly remarkable was the driver's reactions when they were told, “You're getting a brand new bus!”

One of our driver’s mentioned he felt like he was going to explode when he heard. Another made sure every student on board was aware they were on a brand new bus, and the list of DON’TS followed. A favored reaction was, “It feels like I just got a brand new house for FREE!”

As hilarious as the driver reactions were, what's even funnier is watching how careful drivers are when driving their new bus. “They drive like they are walking in heels. Avoiding all potholes, puddles and moving way too slow.”

We thrive on keeping an updated fleet at Northstar/American. We want our drivers to have the best and safest vehicles available. Our shop is amazing at keeping the wheels on the buses rolling. We are currently hiring Diesel Mechanics. Come join the team!
