To better serve our discriminating clientele, we have continually and luckily
been able to put together a superb group of driver/chauffeurs. Whenever
possible, BMC tries to match clients with drivers who might have similar
interests or backgrounds, to help make the ride experience even more
enjoyable. Current interests/outside employment include: corporate sales;
computer troubleshooting; public relations; art direction and photography;
flight instruction; camera sales; motorcycles; obtaining a masters in business
and economics; performing on stage; raising families; insurance sales;owning and
managing a full service beauty salon; wine study; and more!
Excerpts from...
The Chauffeur:
from Mrs.. Beeton's Household Management, New Edition ca.1920
The chauffeur's first duty is to possess a thorough knowledge of the mechanism and vagaries of the car he controls.
After a run he should always clean the car, and before starting out again, see that all the parts are
properly greased and oiled, that the tank.. has been filled, ...that the metal work is polished and the
seating is clean.
When a long trip is contemplated, the chauffeur should always thoroughly acquaint himself with the route by a
previous study of maps of the district. A good and steady driver is as essential to the comfort of
the passengers as he is to the preservation of the car. With the good chauffeur, there should be
no rush and bustle- everything should be done steadily and smoothly. The driver who keeps up a steady pace
will arrive at his destination just as soon, perhaps sooner, than the man who proceeds in a series of rushes and
jerks.
Besides being thoroughly honest and reliable, the ideal chauffeur should be a good driver, a good mechanic,
and possess all of a coachman's skill and knowledge of how to treat his coach-work.
