I would receive my trip schedule on a handheld tablet.  A safety inspection had to be made on your vehicle. I was supposed to be at a destination 40 miles away in less than an hour.  The first vehicle that they gave me was covered with leaves.  I told the dispatcher that I could not get the van cleaned up, make the safety inspection, and be at the destination on time.  He then gave me a second van. I again make a safety inspection and found low crankcase oil, low coolant, and a right front tire that was going flat. These defects showed me that the previous driver did not check out the van properly. There was not sufficient time to take care of all the problems on that van and get to my destination on time.  I also felt that driving on a leaking front tire was unsafe for both the passenger to be picked up and myself. Since I had only been with the company a little over a week, I decided to quit that same morning.  I found that with one exception, the co-workers were very nice people.  The hours were too long.  They would have you work 13 hours and then come in early the next morning. There was not enough time to eat and sleep.  In the beginning they issued you a tablet, which was a hand held communications device and global positioning system. The dispatcher assumed that I would know how to use this device.
If you did not hold your finger on the device until the ring turned red and yellow, then it would not operate. The dispatcher did not train me sufficiently to use the two way communication application. On the positive side EMT does not discriminate on the basis of age.  If you are able to pass all the training:  Driver Safety Course, First Aid, CPR, and a physical ability test where you had to lift an 87 pound box from a waist high shelf to an overhead shelf 3 times and lift an 112 pound box off the floor to waist level 3 times, and then walk up stairs with the same box, then you would be accepted for a driver position.  A Dept. of Transportation physical was also required. Going to the various hospitals and rehabilitation facilities was fun.
Most of the passengers were happy to be going home or at least to a rehab. facility.  I enjoyed interacting with them and the caretakers.  If the hours has not been so long and the training on the tablet had been more thorough, then I might have considered staying at this company.  The responsibility that is given to the drivers is huge.  You are responsible for the safety and well being of the people that you are transporting every day.

You do not want to work here. This is a toxic environment ran by fear. The CEO will allow you to be treated poorly by the Director. She lacks integrity and backbone. Their is a clear theft issue within the organization. This business is clearly going under, with 0 regards to the laws and regulations they break. You are not safe driving their vehicles, nor or the children and disabled members of the community safe as well. This company ran off their good managers, pays poorly, and will gas light you every time they are asked to be held accountable. I would rather beg for change on the side of the road then endorse this companies continued operation. The biggest justice to the community would be legally holding the CEO, Director of Operations, and the school account manager responsible for the fraud they commit daily.  

early morning pick ups for children with disabilities, homeless, foster children whom I take and pickup to school, work programs.  Senior's I transport to and from doctor appointment, grocery shopping, community centers.

I have learned that it is a blessing to help and assist those who are less fortunate than others.

I love working with my clients, giving support as needed while developing a relationship with them.

I do have to manage my time, I've learned patience and that it takes no energy to be kind.  I try to have a very comfortable and safe environment for all.

The hardest part of my job is there is no communication with management nor the dispatchers.... when trips are changed and added, what expectations are needed for each trip.  There no communication between management on days requested or advised that I'm available to work and when I request time off.

The streamlined processes in place are a testament to the company's dedication to ensuring a productive and motivating environment. From the well-maintained tools to the company's emphasis on work-life balance, everything is geared towards supporting employees in delivering their best. Management is not only organized but is also easily approachable, always willing to listen and implement our ideas for improvement. I have confidence in the allocation of tasks and trust that the management will always be there to address any urgent issues. Working alongside dedicated teammates further enhances the overall experience.

The company I am working at is a pretty new company. The office that I work at they just opened in January. The company does have a high attrition rate. Not sure why because the job is really easy but the hours are long so that might be the reason why. I have never met the owner but the supervisors of the office I work at have been very accommodating to my needs, also the company needs are the hours due to the school hours that we work with. The hours they need me to work so the routes are covered are making issues with the care for my daughter. I wish that they had an office up north because I live up north and some of the routes the company has me to are north where I live. This company overall is a great company its just not meeting my families needs of the hours that I need.

Typical work day was from 4:30 am to 3 or 4 pm. worked hard and would get people to the appointments on time, and made relationship with my patients.
I learned that everyone one is not perfect, and you have to treat ever person with respect and dignity. 
Management, in our office were great. It was like we were one big family.
We worked hard and when we could cut up at the office we would, if someone needed to vent we would let them                                                                                                      The only hard time of the day was during rush hour traffic.
The most enjoyable part of my job was the end of the day when you could look back and reflect on the things that you had accomplished. the relationships that you made and see that some folks getting to feeling better, and the times that sometimes your patents didn't want you to leave. I have enjoyed my time that I have worked for EMT.

The sense of camaraderie is palpable, with everyone ready to lend a hand whenever needed. This supportive environment contributes significantly to a pleasant and collaborative workplace. The company's operational system is well-structured, making daily tasks not only manageable but also empowering, allowing us to perform our roles with confidence and efficiency. I particularly appreciate the company’s strong commitment to safety, which is evident in both policy and practice. The attention to maintaining an organized workspace and pristine equipment underlines the company’s focus on performance excellence, setting high standards for operational quality and safety.

At Express Medical Transporters, I am engaged in a crucial service that provides specialized transportation for individuals with medical needs. The work is fulfilling, centered around compassion and efficiency. I ensure safe and comfortable transport for our clients to their medical appointments, which requires attentiveness and care. The environment is one where punctuality and reliability are key, and the team is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. Challenges include coordinating timely transportation across various schedules and adapting to the unique needs of each client, but overcoming these challenges is incredibly rewarding.

The location I worked for was very unprofessional and disrespectful. I tried my best to stay ethical because that's the type of person I am. However, the management was insubordinate and rude. They never updated you on change of time being picked up from home. I always had to call in. Every time I would ask questions, they would have ride feedback and belligerent behavior. Also, they fired me while I was training to become an ambulatory driver. The reasoning was I didn't know how to work well under pressure. That's not solid. But okay. Lol. The people there need to take some classes on professionalism and behavioral management. They need etiquette highly. Overall, I did appreciate the weekly deposits. Plus,  the clients were very nice. 

Employees are over worked and taken advantage of with little to no regard for anything outside the company. Leadership only cares about padding the numbers but not really servicing the clients. They uses wore out old equipment that is barely road worthy and breaks down constantly, will take any busy no matter if they can actually meet the service requirements or not. Then they blame the employees for “failures” that they had no control over. Also, hourly employees are so underpaid it is criminal. Drivers can get better paying jobs anywhere with the requirements they need to be a driver here. Just stay away for your own mental well being.
