Leros Transportation Group has announced they have acquired Philadelphia-area operation Corporate Sedan Service (CSS). Established in 1999, CSS was owned and operated by Gregg Fox, who will stay on with the company.
The two combing brands will represent nearly 70 combined years of transportation experience and will be operating nearly 400 vehicles consisting of sedans, SUVs, vans, minibuses, and full-size coaches throughout N.Y., Conn., N.J., and Pa.
Leros Transportation Group COO Michael Basso
This acquisition gives Leros further expansion in the Philadelphia market that connects geographically to their existing New Jersey operations. In September 2024, Leros established its Pa. footprints with the acquisition of Park Avenue Worldwide. CSS will maintain its branding, but merge its operations into the Park Avenue site in Bensalem, Pa.
CSS Founder Gregg Fox
“CSS is a perfect second acquisition partner for us in the Philadelphia market,” says Leros Transportation Group COO Michael Basso. “We have had a long relationship with Greg and his team, as had Park Avenue, making it an easy blend culturally. Their commitments to safety, service, along with a solid history of revenue should make for a seamless blend and help us operate even more efficiently in a market that's still new to us.”
“It's never an easy decision to sell your company, but meeting with Leros and their team, plus knowing and being able to speak with other acquisition partners from the industry, made selling to THEM an easy decision,” says CSS Founder Gregg Fox. “I'm excited for this next chapter, to be able to not only carry on the legacy we built at CSS for over 25 years but adding to it with the resources, know-how, and experienced team that Leros provides.”
Ken Lucci of Driving Transactions provided a financial review and documentation for CSS aiding in this acquisition.

Still haven’t booked your pass for the CD/NLA Executive Retreat this June 8-11 in beautiful Savannah, Georgia? Well bless your heart, sugar, but you’re about to miss out on some major savings … and it wouldn’t be proper if we didn’t let you know.
How does saving $300 off the onsite price sound? Our Early Bird pricing is fixin’ to end, so register before Friday, April 18, and you receive a full retreat pass for only $999. After Friday, the price goes up to $1,099 (through May 19).
OK, we’re not Southerners, but we are completely pumped about our retreat making a stop in a new city this year! The event, designed for an intimate crowd and capped at 200 attendees, is your opportunity to enjoy an exclusive, tight-knit networking event infused with equal parts of world-class education and tons of local flavor, including obscene amounts of food, drinks, and nonstop fun.
Ken Lucci of Driving Transactions
New to the retreat experience and nervous about what to expect? Well, the value you get for your registration is unbeatable. Not only do you get two days of top-tier education, incredible networking opportunities with the movers and shakers of our industry, and local tours, but you also receive amazing dining experiences. Whether it’s Monday’s Southern Country Breakfast and Farm to Fork Lunch, or Tuesday's Georgia Breakfast and Little Italy Lunch, there’s no chance you’ll be hungry. And that doesn’t even touch upon our incredible all-you-can-eat dinner events. On Sunday, we’re pleased to offer our Opening Dinner & Party on the Harbor Lawn, which offers a Lowcountry Southern Cuisine Feast. Then on Monday, we’ll dine on the Savannah River for a Riverboat Dinner Cruise. Both of these events offer top-shelf open bar as well. Our agenda is jam-packed; check out our full schedule here.
Speaking of early birds… for those that arrive in Savannah before our opening night reception, we’re also pleased to announce a bonus session on Sunday afternoon with Ken Lucci of Driving Transactions. In his Finance & the Future of Chauffeured Transportation Summit, Lucci will offer a deep-dive discussion and data briefing that includes fiscal performance data from more than 1,100 operators. This presentation is the culmination of hundreds of hours of research on travel trends and forecasts from related industries our sector depends on. If the uncertainty permeating the business community is making you queasy, Lucci’s session will offer some much-needed clarity so you can plan ahead. Preregistration for this session is required.
While you’re signing up for the summit, why not take a minute to join in on our fun local tour experiences. On Tuesday night we’re hosting the Savannah Dark History and Ghost Encounter Tour around the haunted streets of the city. Although this tour is included in your price of admission, we ask that you sign up in advance to get an accurate head count. And for those staying through Wednesday, we have a Private Savannah Trolley Tour and Dolphin Cruise at Tybee Island. Limited to 50 guests, this particular tour does require an extra fee.
Now that you’ve got your registration(s) out of the way, why not book your stay at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa. Located directly on the river on Hutchinson Island, our host property is offering an amazing room block at just $279/night. Click here to book your room today.
