Much like Excursions, it is most important to recognize the travel time of your bus company to get to your pickup location, and once the trip is completed, back again to their terminal or yard. This (deadhead) travel time must always be considered in the legal limits of your driver. Since most Local Day Tours generally take from 10-12 hours, identifying the deadhead time of your Charter Carrier is (as in Excursions), very important. Once again, it may be best to get a reference for a nearby carrier in order to save deadhead time and allow for your Local Day Tour to save valuable travel time. Once again, any responsible motor carrier company should freely offer their recommendation if their driver is in jeopardy of becoming out of compliance.
