Pinterest is the third most popular social media network, behind Facebook and Twitter, respectively. It’s a visually driven virtual pinboard that allows users to easily “pin” their photos and “re-pin”, i.e. share, other people’s photos. This has tremen-dous potential for businesses to showcase their products and services to a large au-dience in a creative way.

Key demographic information of Pinterest users:• 1.36 million visitors per day• 68.2% women• 50% with children• 28.1% who live in households with annual income

of $100,000+• 27.4% age 25-34• Average time spent on site: 15.8 minutes (Face-

book = 12.1 minutes; YouTube = 16.4 minutes)• 2,702.2% growth in unique visitors since May 2011

With this information, it’s clear that operators can and should create Pinter-est accounts for their company to market their wedding, prom, birthday and other special event services. To catch prospects’ attention, you should post vibrant, high-quality photos of interior vehicle shots with wedding or prom amenities; photos of vehicles and clients at special events; and photos of clean, shiny vehicles with nice landscape backgrounds. The right photo might attract business from Pinter-est users who need vehicles for their weddings, their children’s weddings, proms, birthdays, nights out, char-ity events, and/or their ex-ecutive spouses’ business travel needs.

Re: Key New Jersey Limo Operator Adds Four MKT Town Cars, LCTMag.com, Vehicles, 04/11/2012:Rick Goondall: “We here at CSL Manhattitude Executive Transportation in New York City have bought the MKT. It’s very roomy and comfort-able. Congratulations Mr. Mayer.”

RE: Passing of Florida OperatorCarla BorodayTy Bobit: “It truly made my day when I would get to a limousine conference or show and see Carla. She was always cheerful and provided the biggest hello of anyone in attendance. I’ll forever remember her at the Dueling Piano Bar at the Paris in Vegas after the 2011 LCT OOY awards ceremony when she got up and did a full-on song and dance. Priceless! Rest in peace, Carla.Philip Jagiela: This truly was a celebra-tion of the life Carla lived. The outpouring of love, compassion and concern from industry friends was so genuine and heart-felt, one could only hope to live their lives by the example Carla, Bob and family have exhibited. May the memories of this memo-rial service remain in the hearts of those who were able to attend, and by way of this article who could not make this beautiful event. Carla now has a better vantage point to watch over us all. God rest her soul....

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Cadillac XTS Limo Sedan Will Cost $47,495:Michael Ferrara, LCT Facebook, 04/6/2012: “These cars are nice as is the Lincoln MKT, but the manufacturers are not realizing that these vehicles are not good for suburban companies who sometimes put 4 passengers into a Town Car L. A lot of my colleagues are moving over to SUVs and passenger vans.”Susan Lundquist, LCT LinkedIn, 04/9/2012: “The magnetic ride is a great feature. If it’s anything like our BMW 760 Li’s, the ride will be fabulous. The rear legroom looks reasonable from the photo. If they come out with an L version, we just might just have to rethink the whole GM thing.”

the Automotive News classification of full-size commercial vans.

While the North American brown bear can rise up to 9 feet tall, it can only do so for short periods of time. On the other hand,

the 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Van can continually maintain an interior standing height of up to 6’4” without tiring,

putting it squarely on top of the food chain. The Sprinter Passenger Van’s Best-In-Class* standing height means more comfort for

PUBLISHER’S PAGE

As the LCT Fact Book statis-tics come to life with this issue, one of the major industry concerns remains with the escalating trend of employee-based class action suits and controversy

surrounding wage and overtime.Most people involved in a class ac-

tion suit do not initiate it and aren’t even aware that it is a possibility until a lawyer contacts them. The winnings often don’t amount to more than a few dollars per person, but the lawyers get paid a nice amount for representing these folks, so much so that there’s an entire cottage industry building around these suits. The so-called “victims” are typically the pawns that lawyers use as leverage against the business establish-ment — the longer the list of disgruntled employees the more the lawsuit costs and the more it intimidates the company into settling (or so the strategy goes).

If you’re reading this editorial, you might want to copy it and post it in your chauffeur’s lounges.

I know of a chauffeur in the state of Florida who was contacted by a class action attorney and enticed into sign-ing on with a suit against his employer for overtime wages (it remains unclear to me if there was really any inten-tional wrong doing from the limousine service). He was promised a win and a $300,000 check for all the back wages he was owed. The suit went on for three years. Meanwhile, the chauffeur was terminated from the company he was suing. He was unemployable in the state because he was now viewed as a red herring by the industry. Did I mention he was a 10-year veteran and that driving was all he had ever done? So, the man waits and waits for his ship to come in. One year after another he waits. The unemployment money soon

runs out. So does his wife. He loses his home and his car. He fi les personal bankruptcy. He moves back in with his parents. He contemplates suicide. And then, one day, he fi nally receives a letter in his mailbox from the law fi rm. His fi nal payout arrives! He opens the envelope and — viola! — therein lies a check for a whopping $20,000. (The suit was a forced settlement and never went to court.) This is a true story.

I have witnessed what’s been happen-ing to companies under the I/O model. I have seen what the employee-based companies are contending with. I think it is a disgrace that our chauffeurs are being treated by greedy attorneys like sheeple. I am all for fair and humane treatment of employees. However, I am aghast by this trend and I fi nally must speak out against it. The big losers are the chauffeurs. They are not the victims of their employers, but alas they are victims of another kind.

The Department of Labor is another sad story. It is stubbornly taking the posi-tion that all non-cash tips (the ones that are included on your corporate invoices) are subject to overtime. What happens to the driver’s compensation when chauf-feured transportation companies say, “Forget it! We will no longer include the tip onto the bill?” The chauffeur will have to hope that the business traveler has a roll of bills stashed in his coat for tipping and that such cash is reimburs-able via an expense account. Good luck with that! The Department of Labor, like these amoral lawyers, is hurting most the very people it claims to be trying to help protect. With tips intact, a full-time chauf-feur stands to make $40,000 to $50,000 per year. Chauffeur tips, which are a PASS THROUGH revenue from client to business to chauffeur, make up 15-20% of their income — and THAT is presum-ing they still have jobs!

TALES OF WOE ON CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND CHAUFFEUR TIPS

I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE THAT OUR CHAUFFEURS ARE BEING TREATED BY GREEDY ATTORNEYS LIKE SHEEPLE.

feeling good, or not so good, there was always a smile on her beautiful face, and nev-er ever once did she have a negative thing to say about anyone, even if that someone hurt her in some way, person-ally or in business. She will be painfully missed. Our indus-try has lost a best friend, and she will never be forgotten.” — NEIL GOODMAN, Aventura Worldwide, Miami.

“Carla Boroday was a strong, capable woman. She was a force to be reckoned with. Everything she did, she did with her whole heart. She fought for what she thought was right. She worked hard for the limousine industry. She was a good friend. I will always miss her.” — JONNA SABROFF, ITS, Los Angeles.

“She cared about the issues affecting our business and fought to improve the environment for chauffeured transpor-tation company owners. She was dedi-cated to the industry and always was willing to donate time to all the various causes.” — SCOTT SOLOMBRINO, Dav El Chauffeured Transportation Network.

“She was energetic, enthusiastic and passionate about the industry, a friend to all and a warm and caring soul. Car-la worked hard, spoke her mind and contributed greatly to the many issues and decisions that faced the board.” — DIANE FORGY, NLA President.

MICHAEL FOGARTY of Tristar World-wide Chauffeur Services in Boston, told of his close friendship with Carla and the Boroday family. He explained that what started as a business connection quickly grew into a mutual friendship among his family and the Borodays. He laughed when he told how Carla would chastise him for not bringing family photos to industry events. Fogarty re-membered a particular industry dinner where the group shared a fi ve-liter jug

of wine.  When it was fi nished, Carla asked to take it home to replace it for the next dinner. He mused on how she managed not only to get it in her suit-case, but also through security at the airport.

Carla’s husband of 46 years, BOB BORODAY, said he would walk by her at 2 a.m. and she would be on the phone talking to industry friends. She always told him she was working on getting a new client. He questioned who does business at this time of night, but sure enough, more business always came in as a result of those calls. He said Carla spoke non-stop. “We drove back from California with our fi rst stretch limou-sine,” he remembered. “She spoke the whole way home.” He asked her why she talked so much, and she told him she was trying to keep him awake. “I guess it worked.”— Compiled from staff coverage on

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Limousine in-dustry friends, relatives and associates of Carla Boroday gathered Thursday, April 12, at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauder-dale to celebrate the life of the South Florida operator, industry leader, and tireless activist. The memorial service brought mourners from around the na-tion, who shared memories of Carla. She died on April 3 at the age of 66 from post-surgical complications.

Boroday was the co-owner, founder and president of Associated Limousine Services Inc., president of the Florida Limousine Association, and a two-term board director of the National Limou-sine Association. In the words of those who knew her best:

“When I fi rst started at BostonCoach, she took me under her wing and intro-duced me to the entire industry. That was Carla’s way of living. She was al-ways so generous. She taught so many of us at BostonCoach the intricacies of our services and spent countless hours coaching us on the value of partner-ship. She was one of the fi rst affi liates of BostonCoach and one of the most infl uential. Through the years she won multiple Affi liate of the Year awards. She was on each and every Boston-Coach affi liate committee and on our affi liate advisory council. She helped us build the company we are today.” — CATHERINE CHAULET, senior vice presi-dent of Boston Coach.

“She was the queen of the limousine business. She was involved with every-thing having to do with government and driver issues in Florida. She was every-where.” — BRIAN WAUGH, family friend, Tampa Bay operator. 

“To describe Carla as a good per-son would be a huge understatement. Knowing her for over 20-plus years, we had difference of opinions for sure, but we always ‘agreed to disagree,’ and never lost respect or a true fondness for each other. . . Whether Carla was

“Over the past five years, Lancer

has recovered over $1.5 million in

property damage and loss of use for

us. We used to pay around 30% for

third-party loss recovery,

but with Lancer, it’s

included as part of a

comprehensive benefits

package. Lancer knows how

important loss recovery is for a limo

company. That’s why they provide

the service – and fight so hard for

every dollar we’re due.”

saving you money through

aggressive loss recovery, put a

LCT dug deeper into fl eet statistics this year, asking operators about fl eet turnover and usage. Operators generally have been running their vehicles longer and further because of the fallout from the Great Recession and recent uncertainty about future purchases in the wake of the retirements of the Lincoln Town Car and Cadillac DTS sedans. But operators are defi nitely ready to buy more chauffeured vehicles in the years ahead.

The fleet of a livery service can say more than transport. A lot more, when it’s Mercedes-Benz. Our

S-Class is the undisputed number-one luxury sedan for business travelers everywhere, while our S350

BlueTEC 4MATIC has a range of over 700 miles. In addition, all other models boast available features like

PRE-SAFE,® 4MATIC all-wheel drive and multizone climate controls, as well as generous Fleet incentives.

So besides asking for the long way, your clients just might ask for your service again. And again. For

Myles FloodLimos for Less / Dublin, Ireland“The industry in Ireland is facing similar issues to the global industry. Fewer business travelers, high fuel prices and government regulations that are out of date with a fast changing industry. Taxi companies have also been targeting the corporate accounts of the limo industry with ‘High Class Taxi Service,’ blurring the difference between the two services in the eyes of the

customer and driving rates down. Dublin is a city with 15% of New York City’s population yet has a larger taxi fl eet due to deregulation. Taxis can be hailed on the street, wait at taxi stands, and be reserved by phone/Internet to pick up at any address. So competitive is the business that it’s standard for taxi companies to offer 20% off the meter price before the journey starts.”

Operators’ Topic AsThe annual Fact Book is a good time to see what issues and challenges concern limousine operators the most.

LCT Magazine randomly checked in with a long list of operators to see what regulatory, economic, industry, and/or political issues are foremost on their minds this year. Here is a sampling of those who responded:

Joe RiveraAllGems Transportation Inc. / Orlando, Fla.“Some of the issues we have been faced with that affect us have been the rising cost of uncontrollable necessary items to run our day-to-day operations. Over the last year we have seen a signifi cant increase of local permits, insurance premiums and steadily rising gas prices. There also have been implementations of parking fees at venues and passenger pick up/drop off fees. These increases have made us effectively streamline our business, while still maintaining customer satisfaction, competitive pricing and not having to pass all of these costs on to our clients.”

David J. MoleNiagara Classic Transport / Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario“Rapid change is inevitable. The past fi ve years of this industry have changed more aggressively than the past 20-25 years, economically, technologically, socially and politically. It’s all about communication and the revolutionary new mediums of communication. Social media, iPads, iPhones, apps, Twitter, e-campaigning and so on have been a game changer. They can either catapult a company forward, or if not applied properly, kill a company. . . Rising fuel, insurance and driver costs may mean that multiple companies come together in solidarity to pool resources, optimize fl eets and maximize effi ciencies. These are interesting times which I am excited to be a part of.”

David NavonCrown Limo L.A. / Los Angeles“First off, the prices of fuel are absolutely killing me. The other real concern is the smaller operations that are actually the ones that buy my used up cars and then do mailings or advertise on Limos.com at signifi cantly lower rates than Crown. They actually charge taxi prices for what they call ‘limo service.’ These ‘fl y by night’ limo services

make all the real services that are in it for the long haul look bad, and they make the potential client very skeptical about renting from us.”

Jonna SabroffITS / Los Angeles“The biggest challenge facing our industry in California is over-regulation. The three biggest areas of concern relate to vehicles, gasoline and labor. The vehicles

available for sale in our state must meet California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards — the highest in the nation. Fuel is more costly in California than in other states due to regulations. Labor regulations, meanwhile, are complex and border on incomprehensible. They have created a legal environment resulting in frivolous lawsuits requiring payouts in the millions of dollars with much of the money going to the plaintiff’s attorneys. . . In recent years, the GCLA has been challenged by so-called green initiatives concocted by the largest airports in the state. Several of these initiatives, if allowed to be implemented as drafted, would put many operators out of business, resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs. Airports, like municipalities and the state, are also seeking more revenue. We must stay alert to a variety of increased fees and taxes that will be very diffi cult to pass on to our clients.”

Maria TaliaSB Chauffeuring & Tours / Santa Barbara, Calif.“In California, nothing gets done about illegal operators. It hurts our business when so many big companies use affi liates that aren’t checked out for the proper permits and insurance to see if they’re legit.”

Greg EgganO’Hare-Midway Limousine Service / Deerfi eld, Ill. / President, Illinois Limousine Association“The prime issues we face are the economy and fi nding new ways to gain business, and secondary issues are all the various legislative things going on, especially with regards to the RIDE Act, the step up of FMCSA enforcement, and pressure from the current administration in Washington, D.C. on the topics of overtime and independent contractor relationships. Gas is also an obvious issue, and while companies pass the costs on to the client through surcharges, the question is how much will they put up with before they leave you? In Chicago, Uber is a big concern for our industry because they aren’t playing by the same rules as the legal livery operators.”

Bobby NashawatyAccent Limousine Service / Milford, Mass.“My top industry concerns are vehicle choice, rising insurance rates, rising fuel costs, new DOT regulations, and insuring VIP riders whose worth is

much higher than the standard minimum insurance requirements. My top local market concerns are mandated employer contribution to employee health insurance in Massachusetts, increased enforcement and fi nes of DOT regulations, and inequality in the toll system.”

Alex DarbahaniKLS Worldwide Chauffeured Services Los Angeles“In California, the rise in fuel prices is defi nitely a huge concern, and so is the issue of employee overtime and overtime on gratuities. Regulations are very strict here.”

LIMOUSINE, CHARTER & TOUR MAY 2012

EDITOR’S LETTER

The annual LCT Fact Book brings its own set of challenges each year, most notably that we words people have to handle reams of numbers and stats. It’s a frenzied process, with all the checks and

re-checks on deadline. Expectations are for perfection; the results end up a little too hu-man. We can conclude that the chauffeured transportation industry overall is doing bet-ter than last year, growing moderately. But times are not like they could be if there were a normal economic recovery along the lines of what we saw in the mid-1980s, the late 1990s, and the mid-2000s. Or even the JFK economy of the early 1960s, which I didn’t see but have read about.

Hardship and challenges tend to breed nostalgia, so we took a more retro approach with the Fact Book this year, opting to make it look like a “Mad Men” magazine from sim-pler, classier, more black-and-white times. Of course, such perceptions are relative; the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s were not exactly ideal eras, but no decade ever is. Amid the warp speed of social media, smartphones, e-mails and 24/7 Inter-net, however, there is a universal craving for the context and simplicity of the miles gone by.

We could draw many stories and analysis out of the Fact Book numbers. But to me the “big story” of the data gather-ing for our Fact Book this year was that it coincided with an event reminding us of the more important aspects of busi-ness life, beyond all the numbers: The passing of South Flor-ida operator Carla Boroday on April 3.

A lot has been said about Carla, whose death at age 66 and memorial are summarized in this issue and detailed more on LCTmag.com. Plenty of people in this industry knew her better than I did, but sometimes impressions, no matter how brief, can mean and say a lot. I didn’t realize until after Carla had died how special the few hours were that I spent with her and her husband, Bob, last September following the LCT Leadership Summit in Miami Beach. I was on a scheduled company visit, or LCT “reader call,” with Carla and Bob’s As-sociated Limousine Services. A reader call is what our parent company refers to as a visit by a magazine editor to a reader’s transportation company. Reader calls are a type of continu-ing education, a way to get feedback on the magazine while we observe the inner workings of the companies and indus-tries we write about.

What I didn’t expect was the generous amount of time and attention Carla and Bob gave me amid their hectic schedules. Bob and Carla picked me up in a Town Car at the Ritz-Carl-ton South Beach at 4 p.m. Bob drove us through rush-hour South Florida traffi c while Carla and I sat in the back so we could talk. I knew right away this would be no ordinary com-pany visit; Carla loved to talk and answered every question I had at length. She even gave answers to questions I should have thought of. We arrived at Associated Limousine Services on the western edge of Fort Lauderdale, where Bob dropped us off so he could get to the airport to tend to some clients. Carla, along with her son, Derrick, also company vice presi-

dent, then took me on a complete tour of the facility and its vehicles, with Derrick even fi ring up a luxury mini-bus so I could get a better understanding of it. We also ventured over to a nearby warehouse that housed the Borodays’ extensive classic car collection. I was fascinated with the indi-vidual stories behind the classics, especial-ly my favorites: the two 1970s era Cadillac Eldorado convertibles. Carla pointed to the teething marks on the back of a driver’s seat from the time Derrick and his brother, Adrian, were toddlers. Carla also showed me the Corvette she received for Christmas

from Bob one year — a gleaming, pristine late model ver-sion that had less than 20 miles on it. Carla told me Bob had persuaded her to “keep it new,” so it hardly ever went out on the road.

Carla talked more at length in their second-fl oor offi ce. Clear and honest, she spoke about her struggles and chal-lenges in business, and in my mind I instinctively knew what was on and off the record. After Bob returned from the air-port, the three of us set out for dinner. Since I had not seen the Fort Lauderdale oceanfront in more than 15 years, they drove me up and down the boulevard, updating me on all the improvements, changes and history of the hotels along the once-fabled Spring Break hotspot. We ended up at a sea-food restaurant along the inland waterway, where we shared a bottle of wine and could view the passing boats and water-taxis from the second-fl oor win-dow table.

I have never been on such a personalized, detailed company tour and visit. Bob and Carla came across as genuine, hard-working, humble businesspeople. No task seemed beneath them. With Carla Boroday, it wasn’t so much what she said; it was what she did and how she conducted herself. It’s often the small, day-to-day actions of people that re-veal the most about them.

After dinner, Bob picked us up in the Town Car in front of the restaurant. During the I-95 return trip, Carla offered more of an expert’s view of the Miami-area transportation industry. When they dropped me off at the hotel at 10 p.m., their workday was not over. It was off to their Miami offi ce to arrange payroll for employees to pick up their checks the next day. Always working but always attentive and generous with her time — that was my glimpse of Carla Boroday.

You never think that the time you spend with someone may be the last you ever do. I’m glad for those few hours; the memories of a devoted, kind businesswoman who loved what she did, what she had, and the family, friends and colleagues in her life — all summed up so nicely on an unusually clear and rainless late summer evening in South Florida.
