Thomas Quick and his son Robert L. Quick invested $25,000 in used buses in order to shuttle workers from Staunton to Waynesboro, and Quick-Livick, Inc. was founded. When Robert’s brother Earl F. Quick and friend Maurice E. Livick returned from military service, they joined the business. The company’s operations consisted of nine school buses, transporting duPont and two other industrial companies’ employees on daily commuter runs and serving local school routes. 1952 In 1952, when Livick sold his stock to the Quicks, the company became wholly a Quick family enterprise. Upon D. Thomas Quick’s death in 1961, Robert L. Quick became president; Robert’s mother Elizabeth assumed the role of vice-president; and his brother Earl the position of secretary-treasurer. With Elizabeth’s passing in 1986, Deborah Quick Ray, Robert’s daughter, left the health care industry and joined the family’s transportation business; Earl Quick semi-retired that same year. 1964 The company expanded in 1964, moving to a larger garage and office and increasing their fleet from nine to 26 luxurious, fully equipped motorcoaches. Bus commuting in the area was being replaced with car commuting as the economy improved, so the family decided to change the focus of its business to charter bus service for special events and vacation group tours. 1991 In 1991, Quick-Livick purchased a Fredericksburg division from D&J Bus Service. Today this branch office, doing business as Quick’s Commuter and Charter, operates 35 of its own motorcoaches with 8 daily commuter runs to Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., as well as an increasing number of group and organizational charters. 1992 Robert’s son, Robert L. Quick, Jr., having retired from the U.S. Army, returned home and joined the family business in 1992. A few years later, Robert, Jr.’s two children joined the company, making it a four-generation affair. His son Jason joined the company in 1994 and has worked at various positions for the company. He is currently the general manager of the Fredericksburg office, where sister Kim manages the charter operations since 1996. 1996 In 1996, Robert, Sr. joined his brother Earl in semi-retirement after a distinguished career earning a influential position in both the transportation industry and his local community. He holds a permanent seat on the board of the United Motorcoach Association. He is a long-standing member of the Virginia Motorcoach Association and past president of that organization, which presented him the distinguished Robert T. Mitchell Award for service to the industry in 1984. As CEO of Quick-Livick, Inc. he works with his children and grandchildren to continue to expand the company. 2003 In the passing years, that fleet has grown to 57 motorcoaches and Quick’s Bus Company runs between 5,000-6,000 trips annually, traveling as far as California and Canada. While part of their business remains commuter runs they started with, Quick-Livick now does 95% of its business chartering buses and averages over two million miles per year out of two locations in Staunton and Fredericksburg. One thing that hasn’t changed though -- the company remains a family business. Today Although semi-retired,
Earl serves as Vice-President and continues to supervise the accounting
and computer operations of the company. A lifelong volunteer of
his services to charitable organization, he has served his church
as treasurer for the past forty-five years. Robert, Jr., is now
the company’s president overseeing the operational business
and the company’s growth. He, along with son Jason and Robert,
Sr., are active on committees for the Virginia Motorcoach Association.
Robert, Jr. plans to continue to grow the company while adhering
to the standards of quality, safety and customer service for which
this family business has come to be known. |
