For more than 35 years, Anchor has supported guided tours, packaged travel programs, and custom itineraries across the Southeast and beyond. We understand tour pacing, passenger expectations, and the importance of keeping each stop on schedule.
Tour operators know within one trip whether a transportation partner is going to last. The driver either showed up on time or they didn’t. The coach was either right for the group or it wasn’t. Communication was either proactive or it was absent.
Anchor is a direct provider, which means the team planning your route is the team supporting your driver. No broker layers, no subcontractors, no surprises.
Four hub locations in Tennessee and Alabama mean programs that span the Mid-South don’t require handoffs to unfamiliar affiliates. You get the same standards and the same team across every leg of your itinerary.
Over half of our business is repeat customers. In the tour world, that number tells you everything.
Anchor has earned Metro Magazine’s 2026 Innovative Operator of the Year, 11 consecutive TRAX Insurance President’s Awards for Safety, and a perfect 100 on its most recent independent safety audit. When tour operators ask what separates us, we assure them we have a track record for safety and innovation.
Anchor’s approach includes:
• Criminal background checks for all employees
• Ongoing driver education
• Compliance programs aligned with group tour travel
• GPS tracking for route awareness
• 24/7 operations support for schedule changes
These practices support smooth tours and give you confidence when managing large groups and complex itineraries.
Anchor operates 104 vehicles, including 74 MCI coaches, across four locations in Tennessee and Alabama. Multi-coach tour programs and interstate itineraries are a routine part of what we do.
“Relationship and support are everything. MCI has been a trusted partner from the beginning, and that confidence continues to guide our decisions.”
– Jared Stancil, President and CEO, Anchor Transportation
