Yes, the BB's have the Roush V-10's. Honestly, they've only used them for "Special Events", they're not on a route. We've had them over a year and have already had to put batteries in them because they don't get driven.

I would much rather have Thomas's than BB's or IC. 60% of our 800+ bus fleet is Thomas, 15% are BB's, and 20% are '16 and '17 IC's. Of course, we do have a Thomas dealer 25 miles from us, the IC dealer is 7 miles away, and the BB dealer is 35 miles away. The Thomas dealer is great to deal with, the IC folks are truck people and know nothing and stock nothing for buses, and I HATE calling the BB dealer because all they'll give me are BB numbers and half the time I know more about what I'm calling them about than they do.

I'm the parts guy at Metro Nashville. Where are you guys at and what do you do, techs I'd guess?
