The Inspiration of Grogu

masthead-innerpage-graphic

What fictional character do you identify with? Kim is seeing a kinship with Grogu – aka Baby Yoda.

Are you concerned about my mental well being? You are not alone. HA But, yes, I have found myself identifying with Grogu (Baby Yoda). Before you call my husband to have me evaluated, let me explain.

First – I mean no harm.

Second, here’s my analogy to this scene. You call and need a bus. I get with my team and we shove a bus this way, shove a driver that way, and the force makes a bus and driver appear to give you the transportation you need.

(Disclaimer: no buses or drivers are injured during this process.)

Accomplishing this task several times a day, day after day, leaves me EXHAUSTED. Just like Grogu.

I also feel accomplished. We are here to serve you, and when we can make magic happen, it is worth the exhaustion.

In the Knick of Time

And, magic happened here.

Welcome 138! John brought bus 138 home at 8:00 a.m. and it was out the door for a rescue trip by 1:00 p.m. I barely got to sniff the new interior. (New car smell x100 for a new bus!)

This is the exact kind of magic that my team makes happen. THANK YOU to our entire team that rolls with the punches and remains flexible so we can serve you!

The new year always begins with industry conferences.

Get To Know Us

Part 2 of Our Story: CIT Signature Transportation knows to change is to survive and our owner knows how to make it thrive.

American Bus Association Annual Meeting and Marketplace

At the beginning of February, John, Jeremiah, and I attended. It is a travel and tour show full of education and networking. We love to break bread with other Iowans in attendance. It was a fabulous evening celebrating each other and all Iowa has to offer. Fun aside, much work was done and goals have been set for the next month, 6 months, and year.

Travel Time

Our system calculates 60 mph.

For shorter trips, it can get us there early.

For longer trips, it allows for rest/meal stops and gets us there on time. It also allows for construction/weather delays, or getting behind a slow moving vehicle a bus does not have the space to get around.

Iowa

Iowa has stepped up their game. Look at that booth! Not to brag, but it was talked about on the floor of ABA as we sold Iowa to tour planners.
