Joke of the Month

Two cab drivers met. "Hey," asked one, "why did you paint one side of your cab red and the other side blue?"

"Well," the other responded, "when I get into an accident, you should see how all the witnesses contradict each other."

Here's Chicago
Back in the Day!
 
I often get asked how did this business get started and why? Well back in the 50's there was a new market for transportation other than a taxi.
A handful of new limousine companies prevailed and started with a concept of a shared ride. This concept offered the customer a new world of luxury, professionalism and safe transportation with a cost equal or less then a taxi rate. Over the years this industry has grown from the MA and Pa companies of yesteryear to a multi billion dollar industry worldwide.
 
But this is all ironic, our industry now faces a new challenge with all the negative media of Corporate America (Wall Street) with over spending, luxury items and stocks hitting rock bottom companies such as AIG, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch just to name a few, receiving large bailout funds from Uncle Sam (American Citizens) while they are still paying out large bonuses.
 
What does all this have to do with Executive Chauffeuring?
 
The answer is the word LIMOUSINE it may as well mean bubonic plague.
 
With Corporate America under the microscope of the news media and government bureaucracy they are looking to polish their overspending on luxury items image.
The Limousine industry has taken a huge blow from the misperception of the word limousine.
 
Executive Chauffeuring does have limousines in the fleet less then 10% of the entire total. We are a full ground transportation company from sedans to motor-coaches.
The challenge now is to reeducate the public in doing there dew diligence on cost and service as they did 50 years ago.

Swine Flu Prevention 
 
 
What you can do...
VaccinationVaccination is the best protection against contracting the flu. You need two vaccines to be fully protected this year. The seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine are separate vaccinations. A seasonal vaccine is distributed routinely every year, the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine is in development for the fall of 2009.
The seasonal vaccine is not expected to protect against the H1N1 (Swine) flu and the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine is not intended to replace the seasonal flu vaccine. Each protects against a different virus and is intended to be used along-side the other. Get both!
 
What we do...
Drivers who transport ill passengers follow these precautions:  Clean the affected surfaces (the seat of the ill passenger and the adjacent seats and areas to the front, back and sides of the ill passenger's seat), armrests, seatbacks (plastic and/or metal part, if any), tray tables, personal lights and climate controls, adjacent windows, video monitors, door handles, and luggage compartments.
