About

A Salem (Lee) is the owner and operator of 1776 Black Car Service, a family-owned professional chauffeured transportation company serving Charlotte, North Carolina, and the surrounding region. He has worked in the private transportation industry since 1994 and has more than three decades of firsthand experience with airport transportation, executive travel, weddings, special events, long-distance transportation, and private chauffeur service. Based in the Charlotte area since 1989, Lee brings a local operator’s perspective to transportation and travel topics throughout Mecklenburg County, Union County, Lake Norman, and nearby South Carolina communities. His day-to-day work includes Charlotte Douglas International Airport transportation, private aviation transfers, corporate travel, wedding getaway transportation, child car seat transportation, group transportation, and city-to-city travel. Lee can provide practical commentary on airport travel, professional chauffeur services, traveling with infants and children, child car seats in private transportation, wedding transportation planning, transportation for business travelers, chauffeur versus rideshare services, vehicle selection for private transportation, passenger safety, customer service, airport pickup procedures, long-distance ground transportation, and the challenges of operating a locally owned transportation company. During his career, Lee has seen the chauffeured transportation industry evolve from traditional Lincoln Town Cars and telephone-based reservations to modern luxury SUVs, executive passenger vans, digital reservation systems, flight monitoring, and increasingly specialized transportation services. As a working owner and longtime chauffeur, his perspective comes from actual experience serving travelers rather than from a national transportation marketplace or brokerage. He is available to journalists seeking straightforward, practical insight into transportation, airports, travel logistics, weddings, family travel, small business operations, and the Charlotte, North Carolina travel market.
