Safety Isn’t a Department. It’s Our Culture.

At Annett Bus Lines, passenger safety comes first on every trip. From professional driver training and ongoing vehicle inspections to strict federal safety standards, our team is committed to providing safe, reliable charter bus transportation throughout Florida and beyond.

Our full-time Safety Director oversees driver education, compliance, and continuing safety initiatives to help maintain the high standards our passengers expect from Annett Bus Lines.

Safety Standards You Can Trust

Annett Bus Lines has achieved the highest Department of Defense (DOD) rating through two biannual inspections and the highest U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) rating through a focused compliance review.

Our safety program includes:

• Annual driver qualification reviews
• Annual driver performance evaluations
• Random roadside and pre-trip inspections
• Quarterly Safety Committee meetings
• Drug and alcohol testing
• Motor vehicle record reviews
• Criminal background checks
• 90-point pre-trip inspections
• Compliance with federal motor carrier safety requirements

Professional Driver Training

Every Annett driver completes extensive training before transporting passengers — regardless of previous motorcoach driving experience.

Initial Driver Training

New drivers complete a 40-hour orientation and driving evaluation, including a written examination, 250+ mile road evaluation, and nighttime driving assessment.

Continuing Safety Education

Safety training doesn’t stop after orientation. Our professional charter bus drivers participate in:

• Annual two-day refresher training
• Defensive driving education
• Biannual company-wide safety meetings
• Current safety procedure and regulation reviews
• Ongoing driver performance evaluations

Safety Across Our Entire Team

Safe motorcoach transportation requires more than a qualified driver. Our operations, sales, management, and support teams receive safety and compliance education relevant to their roles.

Training includes Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), hours-of-service requirements, drug and alcohol awareness, and current motorcoach safety practices.

Experience Behind Our Safety Program

Our full-time Safety Director brings more than 10 years of motorcoach industry experience and more than five years of safety management experience to Annett Bus Lines.

Continued education, industry conferences, and ongoing training help our team stay current with evolving motorcoach safety standards and federal transportation regulations.

Safe Transportation Starts With Annett

Whether you’re planning a school field trip, church trip, sports team charter, corporate event, or group tour, you deserve a charter bus company that takes safety seriously.
