This is a post I love making. Five years ago I had an idea. After doing Uber for 4.5 years they'd kicked me off the platform. I had a couple of dings on my driving record. Someone suggested I go into business for myself. So the name popped in my head & here we are.

Five years later I've made countless airport trips, many concert trips & more. Tom Cochrane & Rascal Flatts weren't kidding when they said Life Is A Highway. Eddie Rabbit sang Drivin My Life Away which has become my theme song. People know I'll drive anywhere anytime if the money is right.

I couldn't have made it to this point without all of the referrals & repeat business. Thank you for your continued confidence in me. I'm hearing from many past customers who want to book me again. I must be doing something right.

Here's to 5 years 🥂🍾 and many more!

3 days away from the first show of the season. While I'm booked for many shows many dates still available. And if I'm not booked for a show I'm still in the waiting area for hire.

Hard to believe we're kicking off the 2026 season THIS WEEK! 🙌 Which shows will we see you at this summer? ▶️ Grab tickets: https://livemu.sc/4bMt4Dl

Okay I seemed to have found an app that allows me to accept Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Google Pay, Samsung Pay & Apple Pay. So long as they can be used as tap-to-pay. I tested it with my own CC & it worked.

Also for new customers I'm going to again require a $25 nonrefundable deposit on bookings for concerts. I'm getting a lot of cancelations. When I accept a booking I tell others inquiring that I'm already booked. Then I could be stuck making no money for the show because I have to compete with the vultures that hound you in the waiting area.

Okay folks we're 2 weeks away from the first show at Blossom Music Center. Kid Cudi opens the season on May 15th. Then HARDY a couple weeks later on the 28th. I wonder if Hardy will have Laurel with him lol.

Gas has hit $5 a gallon. Hits people like me hard. I'll do my best to eat the cost increase as much as I can. Some price increase will be needed. Nothing huge. But that does make me an even better option getting to Blossom.

Also if you're planning on staying at a hotel in the area, I can't recommend enough Trivago. It's what I use to get the best price for a room.

Generally if you're staying in Stow by Rt 8, round trip to/from Blossom runs $110 now.
Cuyahoga Falls/Fairlawn round trip runs $135. Montrose by I-77 runs $160. As a rule I've went up $10 per trip. A generous gratuity from you helps too.

For all of the concerts at Blossom Music Center this summer, with the increased cost of fuel I'll have to adjust my pricing slightly. Nothing huge. Any shows booked before the first show will get pricing from last season. Any shows booked after will have a minimal price increase. I'll still always be the less expensive option over paying for VIP parking or dealing with the Uber Lyft 💩 show. Celebrating 5 years on 5/13/26.

I've had a lot of requests lately for transportation for large groups. My minivan only holds so many people. This past New Years Eve I was hired to drive a 15 passenger van the client rented. Today I'll be doing the same for another client. I'm always available for that. Many years ago I drove limo & most recently a 23' box truck so I'm experienced.

From this point forward I'll begin taking business for 8-15 people. I will rent the needed van myself. I'll of course include the cost of the rental in the price. Also rates will reflect the increased number of passengers. I'll guarantee you my prices will still beat anyone's prices out there. I will do the same if you have large groups going to the airport with a lot of luggage. I'd have to rent a large SUV for that whereas when I use my 3rd row I lose cargo space.

Okay folks, T minus one month until the first show at Blossom Music Center. Kid Cudi opens up the season on May 15th. I have shows booked throughout the summer but many dates still available. I haven't yet increased prices.

Why deal with the Uber/Lyft 💩 show? Why deal with the vultures waiting to prey on you in the waiting area? Why pay for VIP parking when the cost to use me is roughly the same. Dropped off at the waiting area & I'm waiting for you after the show. Ride with a winner! I was runner up in the Beacon Journal Best of in 2025 (lost to a medical transport company).Getting ready to celebrate 5 years in business. Many repeat & referred customers can't be wrong.

Bought myself a new toy lol. It's a jump starter that works on a vehicle up to a 6.0L engine. Very highly rated. Way safer for a car than the old fashioned way of jumper cables. Another service I'll offer will be jump starts. If you don't have AAA you know tow trucks can be pricey. If you're within 30 min of Akron, hollar atcha boy 330-651-3975.
