I would absolutely be thrilled if we could get Walter for all our trips. He has been awesome.

Shawn Summe, Avila University

I just wanted to reach out and express how happy our group was with our driver. He was extremely helpful in loading and unloading the luggage. He was very courteous to the teachers and students. He was always on time or early for picks and drop-offs. Our trip was a success because of Wally Lopez.

Jeffrey W. Baumann, Agriculture Instructor/FFA Advisor, Savannah High School

Chris did a great job navigating in crowded areas. We always felt safe with his driving. He was willing to work with our schedule which on this trip has to be flexible. I thought Chris did a great job and appreciate his efforts. My students even said we should request Chris next time!

Aaron Medsker, Ag Teacher, Dekalb High/Middle School

Jesse was an awesome driver and great sport! Trying to get our group of interns and industry members down to the Power & Light district was no easy task with all the road closures and and the traffic! But he did a great job and made sure we were all safe!
