Safety / Operations Manager
Safety is our #1 concern at all times.  Travel Lynx has a full time Safety Manager who exams the driver logs and hours as well as the maintenance of our equipment.  Itineraries are requested from the customer 14 days prior to departure so our safety department can look over the planned events and dispatch a driver at that time.

Travel Lynx adheres strictly to the rules and regulations set fourth by the Federal Department of Transportation.  These rules are - drivers CANNOT EXCEED 10(ten) HOURS OF DRIVING without 8 (eight) consecutive hours off-duty or a combination of driving and on-duty (not driving) for more than 15 (fifteen) hours in a day.

Professional Drivers
Travel Lynx drivers are safe, knowledgeable & fully trained professionals as well as courteous & friendly.  All drivers MUST meet Federal Department of Transportation standards.  All drivers are screened for drug and alcohol prior to hiring as well as a background check.  After driver is hired, they are enrolled in a random drug & alcohol-screening program.  The Safety Manager periodically pulls all drivers for driving tests and reviews.

Tour Escorts:
Tour Escorts can make your tour!  All tours offered by Travel Lynx in our tour catalog have a trained, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly & fun escort to add "entertainment" to your travel!  Travel Lynx escorts can be added to any group tour charter for an additional charge.

"The trip was great. We loved Mr. Hastings...we'd like for him to go with us next year if at all possible. The traffic was awful; I'd like to see if we can get closer to town next year. Thank you for making our trip a memorable and enjoyable one. I look forward to working with you next year!"

"I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our driver this past weekend. He did a wonderful job. Not many bus drivers get along with high school students as well as he did. You can be sure you have our business in future trips."
Ann Bryson

"We have used Travel Lynx 4 different times to transport our church youth group to camps or retreats.  Each time, the bus has been exactly on time and very clean.  We were so pleased with their service the first time, we have no desire to use anyone else."
Sue Brown

"I took Savannah/Charleston tour and I look forward to taking another trip with Travel Lynx in the near future.  The hotels that were used were very nice, driver and escort was very nice and knowledgeable about tour sights and kept on schedule.  Motorcoach was brand new and traveled nicely along highways."
Sandy

"Our driver to and from camp was so professional and helpful! He arrived
early - so I never even had a moment of concern. I was so thankful for all
his help!"
