So you are looking for a "party bus"? I suppose our limo van does pass as a "Party Bus" but we don't like to call it that. One reason is insurance companies frown upon that term; oftentimes party buses are known as drunk buses and that can mean trouble. Anyone can get a van, put the seats and lights in it and call it a “party bus”. If you care about safety and your guests, there’s more to check than just price.

In June 2017, Jimmy Larsen fell out of a older party bus on I-294 near Chicago. He was walking to the front of the bus while it was moving, fell on the steps and out the door. An oncoming SUV hit him and killed him. Safety of these vehicles is paramount. Reputable companies must adhere to inspections of these vehicles, at least twice a year. That cheap bus might look like a good deal, but has it been inspected? Does the company have the proper insurance? TRUST US - this limo business insurance is expensive.

Does the cheap party bus have the required emergency exits? Our limo van has an emergency escape hatch on the roof, and an emergency exit window. If you are in an accident and the door won't work, can you get out?

We run safe and clean vehicles, which are properly inspected and properly insured. Are we the cheapest? Definitely not. Running responsibly costs money. Don’t forget to ask for a DOT number. To cross a state line, it is required. Ours is 37610. (Yes - 5 digits. This year is our 59th year in business.) Our information is on FMSCA and has insurance information and inspection data.

NLA's Holiday Safety Pledge Campaign.

MARLTON, N.J. – Nov. 28, 2022 – The National Limousine Association (NLA), the industry-leading non-profit organization responsible for and dedicated to representing the interests of the chauffeured transportation industry, today announces the launch of its Holiday Travel Promise safety pledge. Continuing a legacy of highlighting and promoting safety in the industry, the NLA strongly encourages all drivers to follow the pledge to ensure safe delivery of the most precious packages this holiday season.

“As the voice of the industry for nearly four decades, we see it as our duty to lead the call for increased safety on our nation’s roadways this holiday season. Far too many accidents occur this time of year and overall traffic fatalities are on a startling 16-year high in the U.S.,” said Robert Alexander, President of the NLA. “The Holiday Travel Promise demonstrates our association’s commitment to strict protocol and the safety of all riders. We want to ensure everyone on the roads can spend the holiday season with their loved ones, without having to worry about safe, reliable transportation.”

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 42,915 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes last year, a 10.5% increase from the 38,824 fatalities in 2020 and the highest number since 2005.

The NLA invites all drivers in the ground transportation industry to join the Holiday Travel Promise safety pledge, adopting the strongly suggested practices in the association’s Driver Duty of Care:

Drivers should be properly screened, licensed and trained, which includes the following:

· Criminal background and security check by a certified agency or equivalent
· Pre-hire drug testing and random testing program, when required by USDOT
· Driver training program that includes driver duties, customer service, safety and defensive driving skills
· Certified medical examination, as required by local, state and federal regulations

Ground transportation vehicles should be properly licensed, safe and commercially insured, which includes the following:

· Proper supervision, retraining and discipline when appropriate
· Commercial insurance with liability coverage, as required by local, state and federal regulations
· Proper licensing permits
· Proper modification certification (if applicable)
· Motor vehicle inspections, as required by local, state and federal regulations
· Pre-trip safety briefing – given verbally or by video, as per individual state regulations – that encourages passengers to fasten their seatbelts; in larger vehicles, briefings may also detail emergency exits and any applicable safety procedures

The NLA is committed to raising existing accepted standards in safety, reliability and service across the ground transportation industry. For more information about the association, please visit www.limo.org.

It's a welcome boost to the chauffeur industry following a hard hit in 2020. The challenge now is finding more cars with enough people to drive them.

The California Public Utility Commission cited a limo company in 2013 for carrying more passengers than the car was designed to carry - but a fire occurred and the women were not able to escape. Five women died. This incident caused regulators to scrutinize these vehicles.

Have you heard that we do have a limousine? YES! We utilize top of the line Mercedes Sprinters and Mini-coaches instead of old stretch limos. Sprinters are easier to maneuver into tight places where stretches cannot go, or may get hung up. Also, nothing beats showing up in a MERCEDES - it’s luxury of the brand. Finally, Sprinters ride much better than any stretch ever will, because it is one cohesive unit. It’s not a vehicle that has - literally - been cut in half and welded back together. Welds eventually weaken and frames fail.

Did you know that all limousines must have emergency exits now? Models more than a few years old must be fitted with pop out windows and escape hatches. Many operators have had to retrofit older vehicles to comply with insurance and operating authorities. Why? So THIS doesn’t happen to anyone else: https://www.mercurynews.com/2013/10/11/limo-fire-emergency-exit-bill-signed-into-law/amp/ BE SAFE and SMART.

Imagine my shock.

San Mateo police say the driver, Jackie Gordon Wilson, dropped off an unidentified passenger for a flight and then drove back to their house in San Mateo with the intention of burglarizing it. Police say Wilson's attempt was thwarted, however, when a Ring security camera caught him in action and an....

Heading out for an executive tour of some medical facilities. Let us know if you spot us!

Interesting. If our commercial insurance were cancelled, it triggers a cascade of notifications. That gets posted on the FMCSA website; everyone we do contracted business with that is an additional insured, gets notified. We lose our DOT operating authority and the WV and Pennsylvania PSC will be visiting us.
Apparently, Lyft and Uber don’t have this scrutiny - so even when people say, “Uber makes sure their drivers have insurance” - what is the mechanism by which they make sure a driver maintains his or her coverage?
Something to think about.

A Lyft passenger is demanding answers from the company after being injured in a crash involving one of their drivers.

STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!

Do you REALLY want to work? Would you like a steady, dedicated shift each week? Can you show up? Are you coherent and have a working phone and email address so we can communicate with you?

We are hiring NOW for well pad shuttle drivers. There will be three shifts daily. Must be clean, drug free and dependable. Must be able to pass a DOT medical exam. NOT a job where you need to dress up like our corporate client work, so if you prefer to wear jeans and a clean sweatshirt and coat, this is for you. LONG TERM work.
We will not discuss pay on FB - that will be discussed at interviews but it is definitely higher than minimum wage. Thank you!
Email us at [email protected] for an application.

This is why we will not compete with rogue transportation services. You get what you pay for! We get inspected twice per year by the WV PSC. Make sure that when traveling, you see a card in the cab of the vehicle. (We keep ours in the glove box, but ASK to see it if you wish!) This means the operator has vehicles that are inspected, valid insurance for the job and the proper operating authority from the FMCSA and the state.

Had several trips this week for a Texas-based pipeline company. I guess they liked the Sprinter. 😉

"Thank you Renee. Everyone was impressed with your service and the vehicle. I wish airplanes had seats as comfortable as your vehicle. I’ll keep you in my contacts for the next trip."
