Back to Our Roots — Almost: How Best Buses For Sale Carries on a Legacy of Service

Before reconditioned shuttle buses.

Before trucks and trailers.

Before Best Buses For Sale became a trusted name in used people transport solutions… our family delivered ice to New York City.

We delivered ice to the places that couldn’t function without it —

Back then, ice wasn’t a luxury — it was a lifeline. It protected perishable goods, preserved medicines and flowers, kept drinks cold, and helped businesses run smoothly in a city that never slowed down.

We weren’t just moving ice —

we were helping New York run.

Growth Through Service

After World War II, as returning GIs built new lives and new communities throughout the outer boroughs and Long Island, our family business adapted. We left the ice trade behind and began helping move the materials and goods that supported those growing neighborhoods.

We built trucks, ran freight, and embraced transportation.

Eventually, we moved into home delivery, and then fleet management.

We became experts in delivering furniture, consumables, and building materials, serving major retailers and distributors across the region. Our customers enjoyed world-class service — precision deliveries, personal attention, and reliability that kept them coming back.

That success propelled us into broader services:

We expanded into tractor trailer operations, supply and warehouse management, and even real estate development and holdings that supported our growing distribution footprint. With each step, we remained focused on performance, accountability, and customer satisfaction.

A Story My Father Told Me

In the 1980s, as our business grew and the operation became more complex, my father made a bold decision for the time — he hired our first female dispatcher. He told me she was smart, tough, and calm under pressure. She ran the dispatch operation with total control and commanded the respect of everyone around her.

But what stuck with him — and what he later shared with me — was what she said during her interview.

They asked what made her confident she could handle the high-volume chaos of home delivery.

She didn’t flinch.

“My last job was dispatching a large oxygen delivery fleet,” she said.

“If we missed a stop — people died.”

That stopped him cold. And when he told me that story years later, it hit me the same way.

Because it reframed everything.

This business — our work — has always carried weight. Whether it was ice that kept medicine cold, furniture that helped build a home, or a shuttle bus that gets someone safely to dialysis, people count on us. And when people count on you, it’s not just transportation — it’s a responsibility.

That lesson, passed from my father to me, is at the heart of how we operate today.

Why Reconditioning Matters in Shuttle Bus Sales

Today, Best Buses For Sale may not deliver ice —

but we still deliver what matters.

We provide fully reconditioned shuttle buses for sale to:

Churches looking for used church buses
Healthcare providers in need of wheelchair-accessible shuttle buses
Organizations seeking non-CDL passenger buses
Tour companies, municipalities, and small businesses

We specialize in Ford E-350 and E-450 shuttle buses, delivering reliable, affordable options that are ready to serve.

And just like ice once did — these buses keep vital services running.

A reconditioned shuttle bus isn't just a vehicle. It's a connection to care, to community, to mobility, and to independence. That’s why we recondition each unit with care and precision, step by step — because people count on these buses to get to dialysis, school, work, and worship. And when your community counts on you, cutting corners isn’t an option.

We do the work the right way —

like lives depend on it. Because they do.

And in many cases, instead of a single new bus, we can provide a service-minded customer with two or even three fully reconditioned vehicles for the same budget. That means more coverage, greater flexibility, and immediate impact — all backed by the reliability we’ve been building for generations.

When People Count on You, the Work Matters

It’s important to do your job well.

Not for applause — but because it matters.

When people count on you, the work becomes more than just a task — it becomes a promise.

And delivering on that promise is meaningful. It’s impactful. And it’s exactly what we’re built to do.

We’re Not All the Way Back — But We’re Closer Than Ever

And we’re proud of the road that got us here.
