Founded in January 2001, Signature Transportation Services – originally known as Nashville Livery, Inc. – has become synonymous with luxury, professionalism, and reliability. From its beginnings on Music Row, the company has grown into Nashville’s premier limousine and chauffeured transportation provider, now operating nationwide through an extensive affiliate network.
“We’re proud to say that even as we’ve grown, we’re still the same local business at heart,” says CEO Michael Dozier. “We are Nashville. Our city’s spirit drives everything we do.”
Over more than two decades, Signature has built a reputation for excellence that extends far beyond the city limits. Whether serving corporate clients, event planners, or leisure travelers, the company has made one promise central to its identity: to transform every ride into an extraordinary experience.
Setting the Standard for Luxury and Reliability
Signature Transportation’s mission goes well beyond getting passengers from one point to another. “We believe transportation should be an enjoyable and memorable part of your day,” says Michael. “Our goal is to redefine what luxury transportation means – blending Nashville’s unique energy with a level of service that makes every client feel like a VIP.”
The company’s tagline, Because the Experience Matters, captures this ethos perfectly. Its meticulously maintained fleet includes everything from Lincoln Continentals and Cadillac Escalades to executive Mercedes Sprinters, limousine coaches, and motor coaches capable of accommodating groups of more than 5,000 passengers. Every vehicle is a showcase of comfort, technology, and style – serviced daily and cleaned to the highest standards to ensure passenger safety and satisfaction.
Leadership Rooted in Passion and Vision
The Signature story is inseparable from its leadership team. CEO Michael Dozier began his journey in the livery business under the mentorship of Erv Woolsey, longtime manager of country music legend George Strait. After years of learning the ropes, Michael purchased the business and rebranded it as Signature Transportation. His brother, Brian Dozier, now serves as Executive Vice President and COO, with Dana Taft as Chief Business Development Officer and Stacey Holladay as CFO.
Under their guidance, Signature has evolved from a local operator into a recognized leader in the chauffeured transportation industry. “We view ourselves as a family business,” says Michael. “That means we’re committed not just to our clients, but to our employees and our community. Integrity and service are at the heart of everything we do.”
Innovation at Every Turn
While rooted in Nashville’s hospitality culture, Signature Transportation is also defined by its forward-thinking approach. The company continuously invests in technology and safety, introducing innovations that streamline operations and elevate client experiences.
From advanced reservation and tracking systems to defensive driving training and pandemic-era safety measures, Signature’s emphasis on innovation ensures peace of mind for every traveler. Its transparent pricing structure reflects another cornerstone of the brand – honesty and trust. “We want our clients to know exactly what they’re paying for, and that they’re getting the highest possible value,” says Michael.
Recognized for Excellence
Signature’s pursuit of perfection has not gone unnoticed. The company has been recognized across the industry for its innovation and service quality, earning awards such as Best Website, Marketing Award, Best Promotional Video, and Midsize Operator of the Year. It has also been spotlighted in LimoScene magazine for its leadership in redefining the chauffeured experience.
“These awards affirm what our clients already know,” says Michael. “We’re committed to doing things the right way – by combining great people, advanced technology, and a customer-first attitude.”
A Local Company with a Global Footprint
Although its home is in Nashville, Signature’s operations reach far beyond Tennessee. Through a trusted affiliate network, the company provides seamless travel experiences across major cities throughout the US and abroad. With more than one million successful trips completed, Signature continues to deliver the same care and precision, whether it’s a quick airport transfer or a cross-country corporate itinerary.
Signature’s services span every occasion imaginable: weddings, corporate meetings, concerts, bachelor parties, whiskey tours, and more. “Whether it’s one guest or five thousand, we treat every client like they’re our only client,” says Michael. “That’s how we’ve built trust – and that’s how we’ll keep it.”
Community, Culture, and Commitment
As Nashville’s cultural and business scene has evolved, Signature Transportation has grown right alongside it – becoming an integral part of the city’s identity. The company’s commitment to community, professionalism, and excellence has made it a trusted partner for local events and international travelers alike.
“Signature is about more than luxury vehicles,” says Michael. “It’s about people – the drivers, the clients, and the relationships we’ve built over the years. Nashville is known for its warmth and authenticity, and we bring that same spirit to every trip.”
The Road Ahead
Now more than two decades strong, Signature Transportation Services continues to set the benchmark for what chauffeured travel can be. With its blend of Southern hospitality, innovative technology, and unshakable integrity, the company remains a proud ambassador of Nashville’s entrepreneurial energy and creative pulse.
As Michael Dozier puts it, “We’ve always believed that if you focus on the experience, everything else follows. That’s what drives us – and that’s what keeps Signature moving forward.”
