He says hes troubled by what he saw, but wouldnt pull America Transportation services from the groups website bus rates. Com because they have a record listed with the feds. The company gets a good rating even though theyve been flagged for unsafe driving and thought doing random drug and alcohol tests. It doesnt necessarily mean that company is a bad operator.
