About the Job:
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Drivers.
Companies offering Non-emergency transportation services require a driver to take people to their destinations.

He is also supposed to ensure the patients are safely strapped in their wheelchair and seatbelts and have an enjoyable comfortable ride.
Job Details:
  • A non-emergency transportation driver is required to know how to operate the wheelchair lift.
  • The lift is designed to work on a hydraulic system to safely put a patient in the vehicle. It also has seat belts to secure the patient during the process of raising them.
  • They are also expected to help patients to come down by use of the same lift when they reach the destination. If the patient needs to be assisted to get to their house or other destination, they are supposed to do so. Some patients who are unable to move on need help getting to their final destination, whether it is the doctor’s office or their home.
  • Non-emergency transportation companies require smart phones for their staff and especially the driver.
  • This way they can report the time he picks up patients and when he drops them at their destination.
  • Every driver has a schedule for the next day. Before they leave work, they are supposed to ensure that they understand all the places they are instructed to pick up and drop off clients.
  • In a situation where the driver does not make it in time to pick up a client, they are supposed to notify the client of their late arrival time and maintain contact with headquarters, so that other schedules can be accommodated.
