Pioneer Trails of Millersburg, Ohio took delivery of a new
Van Hool CX45 in late Spring.
With locations in both Ohio and West Virginia the company
specializes in providing scheduled line run service to the state of Florida,
and also operates three different tour companies which offer scheduled and
custom tours to area attractions, shopping, dining, recreation and more.
Founded over 35 years ago by Dave and Irene Swartzentrubber, the family-owned
and operated business is now in its second generation with son, Wendyl at the
helm of operations management. “Pioneer Trails has been a mainstay within the Amish
community for generations, and adding the new CX45 to our fleet helps
us continue to deliver a first-rate transportation
experience to our loyal customers,” said Wendyl Swartzentrubber, Pioneer
Trails’ General Manager.
“The Swartzentrubber family has a previous history in the
automotive body business, and that level of detail transfers to their
motorcoach operation,” said Pete Bachrach, Senior Account Executive with ABC
Companies. “They run a meticulous fleet and we worked together to integrate unique
options that reflect the high standards of their operation”.
The new 56-passenger Van Hool CX45 is powered by a Detroit
Diesel engine and features a custom paint and graphics package produced by ABC.
Onboard, passengers will enjoy an amenity-rich environment featuring comfort
seating with leather inserts and piping detail and woodgrain floors throughout.
All the digital conveniences including WiFi, a wireless PA system, 6 video
monitors, and 110V outlets at all seats are offered. In addition, cupholders,
magazine nets and enclosed overhead parcel storage give passengers organized
stowage for personal items and greater comfort.
ABC Companies works closely with the company to provide
after-sale support including parts and warranty support, financial services and
mobile technician service as requested by Pioneer Trails.
“Our focus is on helping Pioneer Trails to achieve their
goals,” says Bachrach. “Whether that means supporting their growth with premier
Van Hool equipment or helping them support their fleet to a high-performance
standard, ABC Companies is excited to continue building a strong relationship
with this outstanding company”.
