California Operators Close Out A Breakthrough Year
The Greater California Livery Association’s annual holiday event took on a more festive tone as the industry stands to benefit from measures that will ease business operations.
Called Advocates For Fairness In Transportation (AFT), the group will complement TNC-related regulatory efforts being pursued by the National Limousine Association and various state and regional limousine trade groups. AFT was formed by Cheryl Berkman, owner of Burbank, Calif.-based Music Express; David Seelinger, CEO of Secaucus, N.J.-based Empire CLS Worldwide Chauffeured Services; and Jonna Sabroff, President of Integrated Transportation Services (ITS) in Los Angeles.

| about 6 years agoI dont mean to be rude to you Jason but you failed in the limousine industry. To have been in business and have to depend on uber to survive means that the limousine company did not succeed and it was caused by bad management. Starting a limousine business is a full time 24hr per day business..... A company i worked for that had 1 limousine grew to 11 limousines in 3 years. They even started with the worst color of limousine to start a business- white lincoln town car....soon we streched a L series black lincoln and another one...then we purchased a 200" krystal H2 in between 2 L Sedans... followed by a couple used 6 pass from vegas... The secret to our success was "deliver what you promised" Washed limo each and every job Chauffuer properly trained and dressed Quality booze (captain morgan, kettle one with proper mixers and sodas) we spent about 42.00 dollars per limo for drinks. Xm satellite radio Vehicle interior cleaned and leather conditioner applied once a week Chauffeurs 30 min before pick up time..... Chauffeurs pay hourly plus 20% The owners partner came in one day and offered 20.00 per hour flat......i denied offer and the company was destroyed.....
