How BusBrother works for carriers

BusBrother is a Florida-focused lead-matching service connecting groups with licensed charter bus and motorcoach operators. Customers submit trip requests; we verify the request, match it to carriers in our network whose service area and fleet fit the trip, and forward the lead to those carriers. Carriers then quote and book the customer directly.

We are not a transportation broker, not a motor carrier, and not a fleet operator. We do not hold customer payment, do not set binding prices, and do not intermediate the carrier-customer relationship once we forward the lead.

How buying a lead works

Every quote request that comes in is emailed to carriers in the network with the full trip details and a price. Most leads are $35 to $90, set by group size and distance. Buy the ones you want with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and you get the customer's name, phone and email immediately. The first carrier to buy a lead gets it alone. If nobody buys it within 72 hours (sooner when the trip is close), it goes to another carrier.

There is no subscription, no fee to join and no cut of your booking. You only pay for leads you choose to buy. Create an account and you will see the leads open right now.

FAQ

No. While our primary service area is Brevard County, Florida, we accept carriers from anywhere in Florida and route leads to whoever can best service the trip. If you're based in Tampa, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Jacksonville, or anywhere else in Florida, you're welcome to apply.
The price is set by the size of the group and the distance of the trip, and it is shown on every lead before you buy. Most leads are $35 to $90. There is no subscription and nothing to pay unless you buy a lead.
Yes. Each lead is sold to one carrier only. The first carrier to buy it gets the customer contact and nobody else does. If no one buys within 72 hours (sooner when the trip is close), the lead goes to another carrier.
Within 2 hours during business hours, 4 hours after-hours. Customers expect a same-day quote. If you can't meet this standard, BusBrother probably isn't the right fit for your operation. Repeated slow responses will result in removal from the network.
No obligation. Pass on any lead that doesn't fit your service area, fleet, or schedule. We track response and conversion rates over time to optimize lead routing, but skipping individual leads is completely fine.
No. Once we forward a lead, you handle everything: quote, booking, payment, deposit, dispatch, and follow-up. BusBrother stays out of the carrier-customer transaction entirely. We are a lead-matching service, not a broker or middleman.
We investigate. Carriers in our network must maintain customer satisfaction. Repeated complaints, no-shows, missed pickups, hidden fees, or unprofessional conduct will result in removal from the network. Our reputation depends on the quality of carriers we route customers to.
Yes. Removal happens for: expired insurance, lapsed FMCSA authority, FMCSA safety rating downgrade, customer complaints, no-shows, hidden fees, or chronic slow response. We notify carriers in writing before removal except in cases of safety violations.
