Independent Coach Corporation was established and incorporated in 1941 by Mr. Francis Levett. Mr. Levett started the company with one bus, which he drove and maintained. Gradually, he expanded the company and the number of buses. Independent Coach’s first client was the Lawrence Public School which we are proud to note is still our largest client after more than 60 years.

Mr. Nicholas Fabrizio started working as a bus driver and mechanic in 1955 for Independent Coach Corporation and worked his way up to General Manager. Learning the business from the bottom to the top, and in 1999 he and his family bought the company and built it into a fleet of 300 buses.
Mr. Fabrizio’s extensive experience in the industry along with his working relationship with Mr. Levett has resulted in the company’s long-lasting commitment to the safest transportation possible, utilizing the most efficient and innovative methods in the industry.

Independent Coach currently has two bus yards in the southwest section of Nassau County. The Inwood location is the original bus yard of the company, while the Hewlett bus yard was purchased in the 1970’s. Independent Coach presently has approximately 250 vehicles in its fleet and approximately 230 employees.
As a small, family-owned business we strive to provide a safe environment for our employees and believe in treating each person with respect. Each employee can feel in the knowledge that they can bring any issue or concern to us. We feel this is a partnership in which we expect honesty and a good day’s work in exchange for fair treatment and wages.
