It has come to our attention that a rumor is circulating on social media claiming that one of our drivers was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) while on duty this past weekend. We would like to clarify that this claim is false.
The driver was not arrested for DUI. The incident resulted in an obstruction-related charge. The events were recorded by both the cameras installed in our vehicle and the driver’s personal recording device.
While we do not condone or support the driver's conduct during this incident, we believe it is important to correct the misinformation that is currently being shared online.
If you encounter social media posts alleging that our driver was arrested for DUI, particularly those accompanied by a photo of one of our vehicles being towed, we respectfully ask that you refrain from sharing the misinformation. If you have shared such a post, we ask that you consider removing or correcting it.
The safety of our customers remains our highest priority, and we are committed to providing reliable, professional service throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Thank you for your attention and continued support.

NEW MINNESOTA LAW: YOU MUST STOP WHEN SCHOOL BUS RED LIGHTS FLASH 🚨

MINNESOTA —
There’s a major update to school bus safety laws that every driver needs to know — and it closes a loophole that caused confusion for years.

Under the updated law, drivers are now required to stop immediately when a school bus’s red lights begin flashing.

It no longer matters if the stop arm is fully extended.
That means if you see red lights flashing — you stop. Period.

Here’s what drivers are required to do:
• Stop at least 20 feet away from the bus
• Remain stopped until the red lights stop flashing AND the stop arm is fully retracted

This applies to traffic in both directions unless there is a physical barrier separating the roadway.

Drivers should also be aware:
• Flashing yellow/amber lights mean slow down and prepare to stop
• Passing a stopped school bus can result in criminal charges, especially if a child is put at risk

This change was made to protect children and eliminate any hesitation or confusion for drivers.

Bottom line — if the red lights are flashing, you stop. No exceptions.
