Our Professional Staff
Our drivers go above and beyond the services of typical drivers. They are attentive, caring, and take great pride in making a difference – day in and day out. Experienced and specially trained to serve those with special needs, disabilities, or medical conditions, our staff provides door-to-door assistance while helping our clients in and out of the vehicles.
We only hire or contract with the best.
At Express Medical Transporters, our drivers separate us from any other contract transporter. We only hire or contract with 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.
Drivers 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.
Drivers must pass an annual DOT physical exam administered by licensed medical personnel who are familiar with the exam and its requirements.
Drivers must pass an annual DOT physical exam administered by licensed medical personnel who are familiar with the exam and its requirements.
Drivers 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.
Drivers 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.
Drivers must participate in alcohol and substance abuse testing based on the guidelines and procedures established by the DHHS in 49 CFR Part 40.
Drivers 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.
