LCS Coaches
has been around for many years. The company started out
as Cloquet Transit and it's history dates back 50 plus
years. The original owner was Walter "Spec" Herbert.
In 1974 after spending 17 years working for "Spec" as
the manager, LeRoy Lane was given proprietorship. He
incorporated the business in April of that year. Ellen
Lane and son Jeff, the firms vice president assumed management
of the operation in November 1980, after LeRoy passed
away.
In October 1981 the company was granted an all-states operating
license by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The license
allows them to travel anywhere in the continental United
States. In October of 1985 LCS Coaches was created, then
in 1998 Traveler's Choice was also added to the business.
Ellen Lane has since retired from the business, leaving her
son's Jeff and Jack to handle the operations of the business.
