Dreamliner Luxury Coaches

What Dreamliner Luxury Coaches does

Dreamliner Luxury Coaches (legal entity: Dreamliner Coach Company; previously operating as Hemphill Brothers Coach Company) is a privately held, Nashville-area (Tennessee) provider of luxury motor coach transportation, custom coach manufacturing, and bus sales, founded circa 1980. The company operates the world's largest fleet of entertainer coaches — between 200 and 215 vehicles on the most recent counts — built primarily on Prevost and Freightliner chassis and powered by a pool of 300+ CDL-certified drivers, in-house certified mechanics, an interior repair department, and a paint and body shop running two shifts. Core revenue derives from multi-day coach leasing (with driver) for touring musicians, Broadway productions, and corporate groups; one-time coach sales; and bespoke coach conversions built to client specifications from empty shells. Notable differentiating technology includes proprietary touch-control panel systems, a multi-view exterior camera array, Starlink-based connectivity, in-motion satellite TV (KVH/Direct TV), 300 multi-carrier 5G air cards, and an iPad-based Dreamliner app for coach control. The customer base is anchored by A-list touring artists — Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Lady Gaga, Adele, Tom Hanks, Trisha Yearwood, Kiefer Sutherland, Steve Miller, Oprah Winfrey, and Little Big Town are documented clients — along with corporate, film/TV, family, and sports-team segments across the US and Canada. Commercial activity is direct (quote-based, no public pricing), with dedicated field sales to tour managers and production companies, an on-site showroom at the Nashville HQ, a website-driven inside-sales motion, and event-driven sponsorship marketing (Visit Music City, CMA/ABA memberships, Parnelli-recognized). Reported scale signals include service to 50%+ of US arena and stadium tours, 10.5 million miles travelled annually, 7 mpg diesel efficiency, and four Presidential Details served.
