If you see a sign like this ... and ignore it ... there's a good chance you'll end up in Jersey.

Probably got scared and didn't realize that he/she could be tracked and figured could get back on Island before anyone found out.

I believe they eventually got in touch with the driver via the matron's cell phone. Don't know if she knew the route.

I guess the company will get billed by mail for the toll. Without EZPass I believe it's $27 ... which will probably be deducted from her pay.

For those drivers who don't know . Pioneer is run under 2 different Corporations. One is Pioneer Transportation and the other I believe is Pioneer Transportation Corp. One set of busses are not allowed into New Jersey ( They are not insured in N.J.)The other is allowed into NJ for Charter trips. Once a Bus that is not allowed into NJ goes over one of the three Bridges a Computer generated phone call notifies our dispatch office that an Unauthorized Bus has just entered into NJ.

Actually I believe the other company is Atrium Bus and I believe it's the buses registered under that name that have a USDOT number and can go into Jersey. I think there is also "Pioneer Charter Services."
As far as the computer generated call ... I'll take your word for it for the time being, but what prompts the call? The GPS? How does that work?

Ahhh yes ! Atrium Bus!I stand corrected. I don't believe the GPS Triggers it because it's happened way before we had GPS in the Busses. Maybe it's the license plate . I'm not sure ...

Ahh, okay ... I didn't want to call you out on the first post because I thought you had some inside info ... LOL. There would be nothing to read a license plate or even take a picture of it going INTO Jersey so I don't think that's it. Probably she just didn't show up to stops on time and they tracked her on the GPS.

I believe all Pioneer registered buses can go to NJ. The shop just hasn't gotten around to putting the DOT #s on them all. But obviously check with the office.

I've always been curious as to why not all buses are registered Pioneer. Hmm ...

Yeah, I'm guessing there's a financial reason for it.
