Employee Shuttle Services
Transportation Solution
How can Albemarle Limousine & Travel Service help alleviate your headaches and create solutions to your company’s problems? Since 2008 we have been a ground transportation leader. Our team has provided millions of people reliable transportation, ranging from airport transfers, tours, corporate shuttles, large weddings, conferences, and events. Since 2017 we have provided an Employee Shuttle Service that has doubled in size each year. Based on the success we have seen with our current Employee Shuttle Contracts we want to see how we can partner with your company to solve your employee recruiting, attendance, retention, and productivity.
RECRUITING
How much money do you spend annually on recruiting? In a competitive hiring market, making your hiring pool larger is both hard to do, and vital for success. With a guaranteed ride to work the available pool of employees becomes larger. Advertising “NOW HIRING” signs on our employee shuttles also increases visibility of available work to potential employees. Those who do not have easy access to internet can still see your company is hiring.
ATTENDANCE
How many employees have bad attendance? How does that impact productivity, not only for their job, but for everyone else’s job that is impacted by their absenteeism? Encouraging good attendance with an employee shuttle is mutually beneficial for employee, and employer alike. It will also be a perk and benefit that your competitors do not offer.
RETENTION
Employees who lose their mode of transport can still come to work when a shuttle service is in place. They do not have to face the question of whether to fix their car or put food on the table. Or if an employee loses a license, they still have a guaranteed ride to work. Ensuring they keep their job, and you keep your trained employee.
PRODUCTIVITY
When fully staffed the productivity level all around goes up. No longer is HR working overtime trying to recruit, hire, train, and retain. Shift Managers are able to maximize production when they have all of their schedules employees present. Plant Managers can begin working on expansion plans knowing they have a full workforce producing maximum efficiency.

Commitment To Safety
Albemarle Limousine is committed to being a leader in safety in the transportation industry. In a recent US DOT audit, we were placed in the 99th percentile of all transportation companies, attaining the highest possible safety rating.
Albemarle Limousine is fully insured through Philadelphia Insurance Companies and Accident Fund Insurance Company of America. We conduct criminal background checks on all new hires as well as employment verification in line with DOT guidelines. We have a zero tolerance policy on drug and alcohol use in the workplace. We conduct pre-employment DOT Drug and Alcohol screening on all chauffeurs. Random Drug Testing is also conducted for all employees in accordance with the governing laws and our drug testing policies.
Our online reservation system organizes all of our services allowing us to easily manage, dispatch, and assign efficiently and effectively from anywhere in the world.
As redundancy, a reservation manifest is automatically emailed hourly to dispatchers, in case of system downtime. Since the inception of our company, this type of redundancy has not been needed, but it offers peace of mind.
Our strong systems feature automated wake-up calls for chauffeurs, automated text reminders at the client and chauffeur level. Over the course of our over decade of operation we have studied and put into place well researched and evaluated systems which allow our team to offer transportation services with much greater efficiency and effectiveness. Our system and experience ensure all services occur without fail, and as reserved.
Our high safety standards begin with a simple process:
Fleet Maintenance and Technology
By choosing vehicles with the highest safety ratings (Teslas, Mercedes Sedans, Ford, GMC, to name a few) we set ourselves up for success; every time we are on the road. Our fleet is maintained and optimized for continuous transportation services through regularly scheduled and preventative maintenance programs. We rotate our fleet to remain current with all technological advances. This ensures safe, reliable, and modern vehicle amenities. All of our vehicles have GPS on board so our dispatchers can track your trips. Additionally, we utilize ELD (Electronic Logging Devices) to ensure that all FMCSA and DOT regulations regarding hours of service are strictly followed.

With a keen eye, our team monitors and enforces Hours of Service (HOS) logs, Dispatch Return Logs, and Vehicle Inspection Forms.
