Merry Christmas!

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" (Luke 2:9-14 ESV)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Arrow Stage Lines Celebrates 80 Years of Service

2008 will mark the 80th year of business for Arrow Stage Lines. We will be launching a marketing campaign for the upcoming year but for now, I wanted to show everyone the 80 year logo we will be using.

More to come...

Arrow Stage Lines takes over Powder River Transportation schedule runs.

Arrow Stage Lines has picked up service between Rapid City and Denver and Rapid City and Billings that were dropped by Powder River Transportation.

Arrow Stage Lines will run a daylight route from Denver to Gillette, using Interstate 25 through Cheyenne, Douglas and Casper. From Casper, the route will break northeast to Gillette via State Highway 387. From Gillette, passengers can hop on buses to Buffalo and Sheridan, or connect to Billings.

Arrow Stage Lines is also considering opening a depot in Douglas, where Powder River once operated a station but no longer does.

Arrow Stage Lines will not run routes to the western side of the Big Horn Mountains, where Powder River served Worland and Powell. The passenger numbers simply aren’t high enough to warrant that ride although the line could be reinstated in the future as demand warrants.

Arrow Stage Lines also runs routes between Omaha, Neb., and Denver via I-80 and I-76, plus two localized Nebraska runs. Recently added is a route between Denver and El Paso, Texas, via Colorado Springs.

NTA Convention A Success

To A Great Quarterback, Chuck Gunnels:

I am sorry I am just now sending you this note. Thank you, thank you for the super job, how you, and your Team performed, prior to, and during the NTA Conference. I was so proud to be there and see how professional our drivers were and the model you set was great. Your coaches looked great, and you modeled for others the way coaches, drivers should respond. The moves you handled were incredible. I continued to receive nothing but praise for the service and operations.

Great job to all! I appreciated the way Nikki and Lori (who spent the time to go above and beyond), Joe (Joe, for your great organizational skills), Phil (in dispatching), your cleaners, (Wow, people said the coaches were so clean; they even said they smelled good), and of coarse Wade and your mechanics, for keeping everything running.

On behalf of Arrow Stage Lines, the Busskohl family, and me, please express to all, our sincere thanks to you and you entire Team. (I hope I didn’t miss anyone, if I did I am sorry.)

Bless you all!
Bruce
