LW Transportation is a fullservice charter bus company serving customers for more than 25 years in DC Metro Area and points beyond . Originally founded in Fredericksburg , Virginia by Larry Williams , this business has grown into a strong partnership with Ray Hendrickson and Beth Forsht .
In 2005 , Larry and Ray decided it was time to bring on other family members to continue the legacy they had created . Beth Forsht , Ray ’ s daughter was brought on board to manage bookings and sales for the business . Beth had many years of experience managing logistics and sales in the automotive industry , a successful balloon business and many events in the Washington DC Metro Area . In addition , her father ’ s involvement in the motorcoach industry was a major part of her life which proved to be a huge help when she came on board .
Starting with three buses in 2005 , Larry , Ray and Beth were able to grow the business to a fleet of twenty in 2020 with the help of hard-working employees . A strong operations group created this company and business
development supported its expansion . Beth joined the Virginia Motor Coach Association and continues to serve on the board of directors actively trying to promote the motor coach industry with the other VMA Members . Over the past fifteen years , Beth has been able to expand their client list year over year while completing over 3000 trips per year . The success of LW Transportation started with strong relationships and that continues today .
Although the Coronavirus Pandemic has caused LW Transportation to adjust to the new normal , they continue to search for ways to support their employees and serve their community . Beth has taken the past year to diversify the business model and create a driving school . Current employees are being cross-trained as certified instructors and enrollment has exceeded one hundred and fifty students .
While LW Transportation is very grateful for the income earned through Military moves , the business is looking forward to the day they can say “ I ’ m sorry we are sold out !”
