Leading Luxury Bus Maker Uses Containers To Help Store Equipment

Italian leather sofas, cozy fireplace, indoor/outdoor entertainment centers, full kitchen with granite countertops and oak flooring…sound like a luxury listing on Airbnb? Believe it or not, these are just some of the standard amenities offered to On Time Elite customers.

Converting buses into mobile sanctuaries is what On Time Elite Celebrity & Production Bus Rentals is known for. When the #1 ranked bus provider on the East Coast needed help with storage, they reached out to Eveon Containers.

Since 2004, the family-run business has customized luxury accommodations for the leading entertainment companies and most famous acts in the world. Companies like MTV, ABC, NBC, IMG, Live Nation & Viacom, all rely on the luxury fleet provider to help their talent and production feel the comforts of a high-end studio or lounge while being on set or location, sometimes for months at a time.

The New Jersey-based team includes skilled architects, contractors, designers, and builders that are meticulous down to the smallest detail. Transforming gutted buses and trailers into elegant production studios and wardrobe trailers for some of the most particular client demands. “We have provided buses for the presidential inauguration, MET GALA, numerous Super Bowls, music festivals, etc. We tend to not say no to our clients, so anything really goes as far as project customization.” Cris Flores, head of Customer Relations adds.

On The Search For Affordable & Sustainable Storage...

Along with providing exceptional customer service and luxurious amenities, On Time Elite Celebrity & Production Rentals (OTE) is committed to a smaller carbon footprint and is the only All-Green bus location on the East Coast.

“In a pencil box of many, you have to be the sharpest. We knit pick every detail to create on-location vehicles that are impeccable, functional, and one-of-a-kind.” Owner, Danny Joseph.

Reconfiguring and building out a customized bus requires roughly 3-5 months and lots of moveable parts. When OTE was running low on space in their shop in Kearny, NJ headquarters, they explored alternative options for onsite storage.

After browsing through Eveon's website, On Time Elite easily purchased a 20ft decommissioned container in a matter of minutes.

“While our fleet of buses offers a little glitz and glamour, what’s most important is that they are highly functional and adaptable. Our team uses panels to outfit each bus to the exact specifications and needs of our clients. Each customization panel can run as much as $700, so it's imperative that they are safely stored and protected from the elements. While our container isn't new, it is ideal for storing our equipment onsite. We have managed to get 125 panels and counting in the container.” Cris Flores, head of Customer Relations adds.

“Having the panels onsite, opposing offsite at a warehouse, allows our team to be more efficient and productive. If we need to turn around a tour bus build-out in a matter of days, every second counts. Having storage onsite, financially and logically is a win for us.”
