Denny’s is proud to maintain professional driver trainers on staff, who ensure we have trusted, and well-trained drivers on the road resulting in an excellent safety record. Our trainers consistently monitor our drivers and their history. This includes random drug and alcohol testing for all drivers, medicals, licensing, and hours of service to ensure they follow federal regulations. Driver’s also go through mandatory training, licensing, and certification in first aid and defensive driving before they start Charter work and every 3 years afterwards.

Within Canada: A driver can drive the bus up to 13 hours within a 16 hour day. To restart this on duty clock, they must be given 8 hours of uninterrupted time off. If your event were to surpass these limits, a spot driver will be added to the trip for additional costs. Within USA: A driver can drive the bus up to 10 hours within a 15 hour day. Same rules apply for spot driver. To avoid any timing issues, we suggest planning for a 12 hour day with the driver.

Our office is open Monday to Friday from 6 AM to 5PM EST with a live on call employee for after hours. Should you have to contact our on-call employee you will be speaking directly to a member of our team and not an answering service. Our on-call dispatcher phone number is 519- 803-7089.

Food and drinks are allowed on board as long as everyone remains respectful to the bus and driver. Please keep in mind any damage or excessive mess will result in extra service fees.

Itineraries are important for trips that have more than one location, especially overnight trips. It needs to state all addresses of the locations the group is going too, with estimate times. This allows us to ensure the driver won’t be put into a situation where they are out of hours, and overall plan for the trip so everything runs smoothly! We require an itinerary 10 business days before your trip. Please note that changes to the itinerary during the trip may cause overtime charges to occur if the timing goes outside what is stated on the contract.
