Written under the pseudonym T.D. Hartmann – to protect the confidentiality of clients he served over years of diplomatic and corporate transport – The Quiet Art of Driving is “a practitioner’s guide to the unwritten rules of executive transport.” In short, it teaches you how to anticipate needs, defuse tension, and make split-second decisions when it matters most.
“Formal training teaches you to drive the car. This book teaches you to drive the client,” explains Hartmann. “You cannot control traffic. You can only control your response to it. This principle is the foundation of professional driving.”
For newcomers: This book gives you a guide that didn’t exist when most of us started, so you can build professionalism faster instead of figuring it out alone.
For veterans: The book won’t teach you. It will remind you. It confirms what experience has taught you, validates the depth of what you do every day, and gives you language to pass that knowledge forward.
For managers and dispatchers: This book shows what happens behind the wheel – the decisions, pressure, and discipline that make smooth service possible.
Buy the book at Amazon or Lulu in paperback ($29) or digital ($19). Bulk pricing is available for fleet training programs.
