Alternative Transportation Systems

As a driver, you will  spend the first two weeks riding along and learning the job. You start and end the day at your house. You drive a company van to the passenger's houses, hospitals, and nursing homes, pick them up, sometimes using a wheelchair lift, and transport them to their destination door to door.  Your schedule can vary widely, and you won't know exactly when you are off for the day, which is a downside. You have no daily face to face interaction with the management, as all communication is digital. In that regard, you have a lot of freedom to complete your trips the way you see fit, as long as you adhere to the safety procedures of ATS. Expect to drive several hundred miles a day, often through high traffic areas such as Boston, with little time to stop for breaks. You have to be able to figure out things on your own, such as where to park, and where your passenger is located. You get your next days schedule every night at 6pm. You are paid for 30 minutes before your first pick up and 30 minutes after your last drop off. You often have to drive more than 30 minutes, and you won't get paid for that time. You are deducted 45 minutes for lunch every day, but sometimes they don't give you a lunch break, so eat when you can.    You can make $1,000+/week after taxes if you work 55+ hours.

I’m a current employee with this company I’d recommend this place to whoever is looking for a great job great perks such as provide you with a assigned vehicle to take home with you and start each and every day you are scheduled to work they provide you with a fuel card a toll transponder these are just some but that is a big one for me easy job pick up and drop off clients at there destination sometimes even gratuity’s I’ve been here for just about a year now and it’s a great place to work all my fellow drivers are pleasant and will always come to your aid if needed it’s a family owned business and very nice people who would help you and listen to anything you need or have to say i recommend this job to just about anyone who is responsible ambitious and are people friendly I’m still here and have no plans on leaving anytime in the future WONDERFUL PLACE TO WORK THAT IS THE TRUE........ thank you for opportunity to be part of your team and family

I am a current employee and I can honestly say I’ve never worked somewhere that I looked forward to or didn’t mind coming into work every day. The office personnel are amazing and the great drivers make the work load easier to handle. Every day is a new experience. Whether it’s something new that I learn or an event different from the day before. It has its challenges at times, but what fun would it be without a challenge. It’s a family owned business and you can tell more by the way the management team helps and takes care of the employees. They treat you as you were really a part of their family. I speak happily to my friends and family about my job often. I truly am happy with my job here and will not be going anywhere anytime soon. The company is growing everyday and I can’t wait to be a part of its future when it reaches its potential.

This role requires a strong work ethic and a genuine enjoyment of driving, as a significant portion of your day will be spent on the road. You'll encounter friendly and supportive colleagues, from managers to co-workers and even passengers. The dispatch team is dedicated to working with each driver to create efficient routes, especially towards the end of shifts.
This position offers the opportunity to connect with respected veterans across the region and build rewarding relationships with both passengers and colleagues. The company provides very generous PTO and vacation time

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great team of drivers.  You’re out on your own all day meeting great people.  The satisfaction of knowing you’re helping people with a much needed service.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I guess the only downside is not knowing what time you will finish each day.  Not that you’ll be working ridiculous hours, but it’s not a 9 to 5 job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent, friendly and helpful. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving people to and from doctor appointments. Mostly driving veterans.

Very unprofessional place to work. Alot of discrimination against their employees on a variety of different levels .. They take advantage of their employees. They treat their employees like there disposable when they are done with them they cut them off. With blatant disregard for anyone but themselves. IGNORING  correspondence.  THEY don't take customer complaints seriously. They do not follow the unwritten rule that the customer is always right. They lack integrity and professionalism.

Managers down to Co-workers and passengers you meet are very nice. Must enjoy driving as most of your day will consist of being on the road. Dispatch team will work with every driver to coordinate to the best of their ability to give you routes that make sense to you especially toward the end of your shift. Meet respected veterans across the region and build rapport with passengers and co-workers is very easy and rewarding. Very very generous PTO and vacation time. Must be comfortable during rush hour traffic in major metropolitan areas. 

What I like most about the environment at ATS is that almost all of the office staff were former drivers for the company. They are a young group of guys and gals who want to make a difference in the lives of their employees and passengers they transport.

Good people to work for, sometimes the job can be challenging because we would get so busy.  The work slows down as it gets colder making it hard to rely on hours because there isn't alot of need.

Very poor management. Could be a good place to work but the management and main office is horrible they ruin it for the workers and customers. Stay away from this company.
