Again, let me reiterate, the minivan involved in the accident above is NOT the same image where the patient on the stretcher is being loaded. I'm sharing this devastating image strictly for demonstration purposes and to bring perspective to what can happen and the ramifications of such unfortunate events.
In regards to so many different issues and strategies, you have no idea, NO IDEA, how often we hear "But this is how my competitors do it," or "Well, I don't know, my competitor has 25 vehicles, and this is what they drive".....or, "This is how they pay their employees," blah, blah, blah.
The moral of the story is "Just because you CAN do something, it doesn't mean it's the RIGHT WAY to do it." Or "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!" Or "F!@# around and find out!"
Again, I'm going to cut this off here before I go too far down a rabbit hole talking about everything from staffing and employment issues to the types of vehicles "competitors" are using so no one can use them as an excuse.
Bottom line, LEARN FROM OTHERS!! It's a whole lot easier, faster, and more cost effective.
