C&L Executive Transportation, founded in 1996 in Memphis, Tennessee, by Charles and the late Freddie Cowans, began as a family-owned bus repair shop. In 2020, under second-generation CEO April Davis, the company launched premium 56-passenger MCI motorcoach services for corporate events, school athletics, church groups, and private charters. Today, C&L provides full-service motorcoach transportation, fleet maintenance, and bus repair across the Mid-South as a woman-led, Black-owned business. C&L introduced a unified, technology-driven operations system integrating Saucon Technologies and Busify to streamline quoting, scheduling, real-time GPS tracking, digital safety logs, and compliance management. Based in a historically underserved area of Memphis, the company prioritizes local hiring and offers skills training in transportation, logistics, and fleet maintenance. C&L also provides transportation for schools, youth programs, churches, and nonprofit organizations.
