More than 160 RTC bus rides canceled today due to driver shortage Share
More than 160 trips on RTC buses were canceled today because of bus drivers allegedly calling in sick. The cancelations followed a weekend during which 10% of bus drivers called in sick, impacting nearly 100 rides.
Mike Ake with Keolis Transit North America, Washoe County Regional Transportation Commission’s bus contractor, said the routes most impacted were the Virginia and Lincoln lines, traveling from downtown Reno to Meadowood Mall and downtown Reno to Sparks.
“Overall on the weekend, we operate 875 trips a day, and we missed 98,” Ake said.
Ake said the sick call-ins are a “very high number. We [normally] have a couple of drivers call off sick every day.”

Decker Truck Line-leased owner-operator Thomas Remington
This quote is part of the rationale Iowa-based owner-operator Thomas Remington gives when it comes to outfitting his 2020 Volvo VNL740 (auto transmission, mid-roof, spec d for Decker s flatbed operation) for versatility in cooking on the road.
In this edition of Overdrive Radio, the podcast gives you a wide window on Remington s leased business as well as tips on inverter power for electric cooking appliances, propane-powered tools for cooking on the deck, and oh so much more.
For instance, above the driver and passenger s seat is what amounts to a full-service spice cabinet. Fear not, though Remington s quick to acknowledge his own over-the-top stocking inclinations don t always fit the practicality considerations/needs for most over-the-road drivers. Great meals are certainly possible on the road with very much less. As runs one of his cooking mantras less is more, often enough.
