I ALWAYS WAS, AND
ALWAYS WILL BE,
A HUGE SUPPORTER OF THE
TINY HOME
AND SKOOLIE COMMUNITY.
PROVIDING RELIABLE BUSES
FOR ALL CONVERSIONS,
INCLUDING FOOD TRUCKS
AND OTHER USES. YOU ARE
LIMITED ONLY BY
YOUR IMAGINATION.
If you have a bus in mind, but
are struggling to find it,
let me know. I will help
you find it.
* there will be additional
fees on top of the sale price.
We have a $320 dealer fee.
You may be required to
pay sales tax, title transfer
fees, license plate and
registration fees, or
other necessary fees.
Each state is different.
When miles are indicated with
** on this website, they were
taken off the odometer of
the bus. Not the ECM. There
is no way to ever guarantee
the actual miles on any
big truck or bus.
************************
I was the first to add
these terms to a dealer website.
EGR
Exhaust
gas recirculation.
On most
2004 and newer
Internatinoal DT466E
and 2005
and newer V8 IC
diesel bus
engines. Other
manufacturers may not
have used
it. Caterpillar
did not
use it before they
had to
meet the 2007
emissions
standards, which
included a
DPF and was found
on most
2008 models.
DPF
Diesel Particulate
Filter
On most 2008 and newer
diesel
engines. This is where "regen"
comes into
play. Cummins put
it on all of
their diesel engines,
including
their 6.7L diesel.
Detroit
Diesel put it on their
Mercedes
MBE900 engines.
Caterpillar
added it to the C7.
On an
International, if
it says
Maxxforce, whether the
DT or the 7,
it has DPF.
DEF/SCR
Diesel
Exhaust Fluid/
Selective
Catalytic Reduction
This system
is found on most
2010 and
newer diesel engines.
International never used it on
their
Maxxforce DT through
the 2016
model year, when
the IC CE300
with a Maxxforce
DT ended
production. All other
diesel
engine manufacturers
used SCR to
meet the emission
requirements
for 2010 models.
I have had
some 2011 models
that did not
have SCR and did
not use DEF.
VGT
Variable
geometry turbo
These are
found on many diesel
engines.
International started using
them on the
DT466E and were
used on the
VT365 and other
International engines produced
afterwards. Detroit Diesel used
them on the
Mercedes MBE engine
after 2007,
as did Caterpillar use
them on the
C7 after 2007.
MY MISSION:
For 52
years, I have
sold used school buses.
My goal has never been to
sell you a bus. It is to make
sure you don't buy the wrong
bus! We offer FREE
information on bus-related
concerns.
We search the entire country
for the best buses. We drive
our buses from the schools.
We strive to have the best
used buses in the United
States. We strive to have
the cleanest used buses.
My primary market is
NOT export. It is churches
and non-profit organizations.
What they do for our
communities is incredible.
I do what I do so they can
do what they do, BETTER. By
offering these organizations
BETTER BUSES at
BETTER PRICES,
they can perform their
transportation duties BETTER.
Another target market for me
has been the skoolie conversion,
tiny home, RV conversion, and
work truck conversion people.
School buses make a wonderful
tiny house and many people live
full-time in their school bus
conversion. Others choose to
build RVs out of a good, used
school bus. Their durability
and reliability far exceeds
that of a regular used vehicle.
The buses we sell have had
great maintenance since new.
They were driven to Florida from
wherever they were in service,
usually many hundreds of miles.
If we find anything wrong with
the bus, we have it repaired
before it is offered for sale.
Also, food truck conversions are
popular. School buses also make
wonderful transport vehicles
for many small businesses.
Our buses truly are BETTER.
Come see us. You will quickly see
how much BETTER
our buses are,
how much more knowledgeable we
are, and how much more willing we
are to help.
We strive to be the BEST.

14:21-23 is so important
