At Express Medical Transporters, we are uniquely qualified to serve as your non-emergency medical transporter. We are the contract transporter for more than 1,000 clients nationwide, including:
We have invested in the people, processes, and technology to comply with all organizational and legal requirements. Combining flexible budget solutions with a highly trained, caring team and an extensive fleet of vehicles, we can meet the highest-volume transportation contracts.
Our vehicle fleet
We have more than 350 vehicles in our fleet nationwide, each with the latest GPS navigation. With our extensive fleet, we have the unique flexibility to offer the shortest wait times. You can always count on us to show up on time, in vehicles large enough to accommodate a group — no matter when or where a pick-up or drop-off is needed.
Our fleet is fully insured and meets federal, state, local, and ADA safety standards. Each vehicle is routinely inspected and satisfies all state, county, and city licensing requirements, displaying current motor vehicle inspection stickers and state-issued license plates.
Our fleet includes:
Our trained, professional staff
Our field service representatives (FSRs) go above and beyond the services of typical drivers. They are an attentive, caring team that takes great pride in making a difference — day in and day out. FSRs offer door-to-door assistance and help our customers in and out of vehicles. Our team is experienced and specially trained to serve those with special needs, disabilities, or medical conditions.
We hire only the best
At Express Medical Transporters, our team of FSRs is what separates us from any other contract transporter. We hire only those individuals who have a deep desire to serve with compassion, take pride in delivering great service, and demonstrate the clear qualifications to do so, including:
FSRs must possess valid driver's license(s) as required by the governing jurisdiction(s), which is verified by EMT's management on employment. A copy of the valid updated license is maintained in the driver's individual file.
FSRs must pass an annual DOT physical exam administered by licensed medical personnel who are familiar with the exam and its requirements.
FSRs must document at least one year of safe driving experience.
FSRs must have a Motor Vehicle Record check (MVR) through the state Department of Motor Vehicles. All drivers must have and maintain a clean MVR for the past 36 months and may not have had a conviction or forfeiture of bond for hit and run, a suspension or revocation of driving privileges during the previous 48 months, or a DWI or DUI conviction — ever. Once on staff, rechecks of the MVR will be obtained every year. We do not hire drivers who fail to meet these requirements.
FSRs must document experience and expertise in transporting individuals who are elderly or have disabilities. On employment, this documentation may be from previous job experience working with the elderly or persons with disabilities and must be verified by previous employer management. Drivers may obtain this training after hire and before transporting these types of passengers. Drivers will be supervised until they demonstrate proficiency.
FSRs must participate in alcohol and substance abuse testing based on the guidelines and procedures established by the DHHS in 49 CFR Part 40.
FSRs must not operate an EMT vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They also must not operate an EMT vehicle when under the influence of a prescribed or un-prescribed medication that impairs driving skills.
