sports
A 9,000-seat indoor arena in Council Bluffs. We set the pickup a short walk off the main exit route so the group is not queued in with the arena's own traffic.
Legal ground rules for Council Bluffs groups
- Federal open-container guidelines under 23 U.S.C. 154 do not reach passengers of a vehicle used primarily to carry people for compensation, which is the category a chartered coach or limousine sits in.
- Any leg of a charter that crosses a state line runs under USDOT passenger-carrier authority registered with the FMCSA, and the DOT number is displayed on the vehicle.
We plan the itinerary inside these rules rather than around them, which is why we ask for exact addresses.
