Knight Division TacticalDoes KDT provide crew buses and passenger vans with drivers?
Crew Buses & Passenger Vans
Yes.
KDT provides crew buses, crew carriers and passenger vans with drivers, CDL as required, to move crews and responders between camp, the line and work sites on any incident.
Typical configuration
- Bus, Crew Carrier
- School-type bus with seat belts, 22+ seats plus tools and equipment
- Bus, Coach
- 47+ seats, comfortable for longer travel
- Bus, Shuttle
- Van chassis, 18–32 passengers, A/C
- Passenger van
- 7–9 passengers, 2WD or 4WD (ordered as Vehicle with Driver on wildfires)
- Method of hire
- Wet, with driver; mileage or minimum daily guarantee, whichever is greater
Responders have to get from where they sleep to where they work, every day, often on rough roads. Crew carriers and vans move hand crews to the line, shuttle shoreline cleanup workers to staging, run camp-to-hotel loops and pick up people at the airport.
On wildfires, KDT runs buses wet, with the driver and all operating supplies, paid by mileage or a minimum daily guarantee, whichever is greater. There are three kinds. A Bus, Crew Carrier is a school-type bus with seat belts and 22+ seats plus room for tools and equipment. A Bus, Coach has comfortable seats for longer travel and 47+ seats. A Bus, Shuttle is a van chassis for 18–32 passengers with A/C. Buses run to state and federal DOT rules. Passenger vans (7–9 passengers) round out the fleet for smaller groups.
KDT supplies the vehicles with drivers holding a CDL as the vehicle and jurisdiction require, on a schedule built around shift change. Crew carriers can be assigned to a crew for the whole incident; buses run fixed shuttles between camp, lodging and work sites.

Do drivers stay with the vehicles?
