- Ben's Story
Meet Ben
I've been driving this city for 30 years.
No dispatchers, no subcontractors, no mystery driver. One man, one small fleet, and thirty years of learning how this city moves.
Ben
Owner, driver, and the voice on the phone · 30+ years
The long way round
My name is Ben. I started driving a sedan out of Arlington in 1995, when dispatch meant a radio and a paper logbook. Thirty years later the tools have changed and the job hasn’t: get there early, keep it calm, take care of the person in the back seat.
Most of my week belongs to corporate travelers — managers booking for themselves, for executives, for guests flying in who’ve never been to this city. About ten people at one company handle most of the requests. They don’t want a call center. They want somebody they know.
I don’t subcontract, and I don’t overpromise. If a pickup is too tight I’ll say so before you commit. If your flight is late, I’ll be standing where I said I’d be. If you need quiet, you’ll get quiet.
The best part of this job is the face of somebody who lands at midnight and sees their name on a sign.

Value 01
Early is on time
Thirty years taught me that everything stressful about a ride happens in the last four minutes. So I remove those minutes.
Value 02
Say it plainly
If a pickup is too tight, I’ll tell you before you commit. An honest no now is kinder than a late yes later.
Value 03
Quiet hands
Smooth braking, gentle corners, low music. Passengers should arrive less tired than when they left.
Value 04
Take care of people
Luggage carried, doors held, umbrellas kept in the trunk. The details are the whole job.
Thirty years

1995
First keys
I started driving for a small sedan company in Arlington. One car, one dispatcher, a paper logbook on the passenger seat.
2002
The airport years
Dulles at 5 AM became my office. I learned every terminal door, every grace period, every way to be exactly where a tired traveler needs me.
2009
Corporate regulars
A law firm asked me to cover their partners full time. Then a consultancy. Then an association. Word of mouth did the rest.
2016
My own cars
BNTRAN Inc. became my own company. I bought the first sedan, then the SUV, and kept the same standards I’d learned from the best dispatchers I’d worked for.
2024
Ten managers, one number
An anchor client asked for something simple: a shared way for their whole team to request me. That request shaped this site.
