What We Do

The Anchor Promise

Anchor Transportation is an authentically helpful company that is humbly aware of how good it is and desires to make your travel experience exceed your expectations. Everyday, thousands of people depend on Anchor Transportation for their ground transportation. Simply put, this is all that we do, and we want to be the best. Our actions and philosophies are evident in three areas that sets Anchor Transportation apart from our competition.

Safe

Motorcoach Travel is the safest mode of transportation in America according to government statistics. Anchor Transportation helps to insure safety by always having a safety first attitude in all aspects of the company. Our approach begins with our hiring practices and continues in our employee training to always put Safety First! Here are a few of the many programs in place:

Continuing education classes for all motorcoach operators
Random Drug Testing
Customer Awareness of DOT laws
Background checks for all employees
Annual Recertification

Dependable

Getting our passengers to their destination safely and efficiently is what Anchor Transportation does best. We operate the most dependable fleet by having two maintenance facilities located in Middle Tennessee and Northern Alabama. Our onsite service bays and full-time factory trained mechanics make it possible for us to schedule regular maintenance of our entire fleet. In fact, we require it. We are so well respected in the industry for our service work that many area groups and companies bring their privately owned buses to us for service.

As part of the DOD certification process, the Department of Defense inspects our maintenance logs and systems in detail to assure that all of the equipment is well maintained so you are assured our equipment is maintained to the highest standards.

Comfortable

We want to make sure that our passengers are safe and comfortable when traveling with Anchor Transportation. Our full size motorcoaches have many modern conveniences to make travel by coach comfortable and enjoyable. Below are the amenities on our coaches:

Reclining seats with plenty of leg room
Adjustable foot rests
Individual reading lights
On board restroom
Overhead racks for carry-on bags
Climate-controlled air conditioning and heating systems
Huge, tinted picture windows for clear vision
Large, weather-proof luggage compartments
Heavy duty shocks for a smooth ride
DVD players with 6 monitors throughout the coach
PA systems
Direct TV (optional in some coaches)
Wi-fi (optional in some coaches)
110V Plugs at each passenger seat (optional in some coaches)

Anchor Safety

Motorcoach travel in general, allows all passengers to engage with each other, do work if they choose, and keeps groups together with a driver who is focused on only one thing – getting the group to their destination safely. At Anchor Transportation, we take safety to the next level.

DOD Certification

Anchor Transportation is certified by the Department of Defense (DOD) – a higher level of safety certification that only 10% of motorcoach carriers qualify for, that certifies us to carry military personnel.

Maintenance

Our onsite service bays with full-time mechanics enable us to assure regular and on-going maintenance of our entire fleet. As part of the DOD certification process, the Department of Defense inspects the maintenance logs and systems in detail to confirm that all of our equipment is well maintained.

Drivers

Driver training and safety management are another important factor in motorcoach safety. In order to remain active, our drivers must undergo safety and customer service training and submit completed paperwork after every trip. We require that all drivers wear a uniform and interact professionally with passengers. By law, drivers can only log 10 hours of driving in a 24-hour period. If a group is hiring a motorcoach for a trip lasting more than 10 hours, most companies would send the second driver on the bus and expect that they will sleep while not driving. We do not believe a driver can get a good night’s sleep sitting up on a bus. We send a replacement driver ahead to an agreed-upon meeting place where they sleep overnight in a motel to assure they are fresh and ready to continue the trip. This is a more expensive solution, but we believe a value cannot be placed on your safety!

GPS

We are able to track our motorcoaches by GPS on the internet. This feature is especially useful for school groups or other organizations that have large numbers of concerned parents who want the point person aware of the location of the motorcoach at any given time. This system also has a switch the driver can use to notify company operations that a life-threatening situation is taking place on board the motorcoach, and that emergency personnel are needed immediately for assistance. This system is so unique, it is one of the few recognized and funded by the Department of Homeland Security.
