ONEONTA, N.Y. – Camilla “Cam” Morris, who spent 28 years with Oneonta Bus Lines, has taken a position as manager of Hale Transportation’s new Oneonta division.
“Hale Transportation decided that an additional division would be a great addition to their company,” Morris said.
“I am excited for this new challenge, looking forward to new avenues of motorcoach travel and am thrilled to be working with young professionals that will one day form our industry leadership.”
Morris is president of the Bus Association of New York State.
DES PLAINES, Ill. — Jason Rounsaville has joined Motor Coach Industries as Rocky Mountain pre-owned coach regional manager.
Rounsaville previously was a pre-owned vehicle sales manager at a large northern California motorcoach charter operator and at A to Z Bus Sales in Sacramento.
At MCI, Rounsaville is responsible for customers in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. He reports to Mitch Guralnick, vice president of MCI pre-owned sales.
“With (MCI owner) New Flyer allowing us to expand our sales regions, we took the opportunity to hire Jason,” Guralnick said. “He is a highly experienced sales professional on the West Coast who has his own following of operators who trust him to help with their transportation needs.
“He is a good match for MCI because he knows the MCI and Setra brand very well, and he’s well positioned in a region where there is an opportunity for greater growth.”
MCI will offer pre-owned inventory at its new sales and service center opening this fall in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Rounsaville got his first exposure to the motorcoach industry as an entertainer. A talented vocalist, lyricist and musician who plays seven instruments, he was part of a gospel music group for 23 years that traveled cross-country in converted Eagles and other buses.
Rounsaville and his wife also founded and ran Chariot Coach, an entertainer-coach leasing business in Nashville.
“I bring a lifetime of bus industry knowledge to the position,” Rounsaville said. “I specifically wanted to join MCI because of its leadership legacy and to continue to grow relationships with operators in the region adjacent to MCI’s forthcoming San Francisco location.”
