An employee shuttle is a production asset. When the remote lot is a mile from the plant gate, or the light-rail stop is fifteen minutes from the campus, the shuttle decides whether the shift starts on time. Operators buy them in batches and need them on a date.

TESCO has delivered whole fleets against contract start dates, including thirty-plus shuttle buses in under two months for one Tennessee operator, and keeps the common configurations in stock: Ford Transit vans for last-mile runs, non-CDL cutaways for lot loops, and 25-to-30-passenger buses for high-volume shift changes.

Buyer's guide

What to spec

The decisions that matter for employee shuttle buses, the ones a rep will walk through with you before the build sheet.

Size for the peak

Shift change is the peak. Count riders in the busiest fifteen minutes and decide between one big bus with a CDL driver and two non-CDL buses running opposite directions on the loop.

Boarding speed

Wide entry doors, low steps and a clear aisle mean a full bus loads in under a minute. It's worth more than an extra row of seats.

Duty cycle

Shuttles idle and stop constantly; heavy-duty brakes, an alternator sized for climate loads and a chassis with a nearby dealer keep a fleet running.

Fleet consistency

One spec across the fleet simplifies driver training, parts and spares. TESCO builds and delivers fleets to a standard spec and schedule.

Accessibility

At least one lift-equipped unit per fleet keeps the shuttle available to every employee.

Lease or buy

Contract shuttle operators often lease to match vehicle terms to contract terms. TESCO offers both.

Questions

Questions we get about employee shuttle buses

How quickly can you deliver a fleet?

In-stock units ship within days; fleet orders are scheduled against your start date. Read the Tennessee case study below: thirty-plus buses delivered in under two months for a contract start.

Do our shuttle drivers need a CDL?

Not for vehicles configured for 14 passengers plus the driver. Larger shuttles need a CDL with a passenger endorsement, which is why many operators run two smaller buses on a loop.

Can you brand the shuttles?

Yes. Wraps and lettering to your brand standard, applied in-house before delivery.

Do you lease?

Yes. Leasing lets operators match vehicle terms to shuttle contracts and keep the fleet current; see the leasing page for how it works.
