One of Desert Hell's major medical transporters went belly-up a few weeks ago, and Big Green Cab Co received a huuuuuuuuge chunk of their former wheelchair biz. (Maybe their stretcher biz too, I dunno -- that's a different subsidiary of our parent co. But all the big players in town are profiting from this one company's demise. Fortune passes everywhere.)
So... I'm doing a class tomorrow to qualify for driving wheelchair vans. I'm not entirely sure why it requires an all-day class (8 hours!) but it does. Totally worth it.
The good parts:
*My income should double, roughly. Should.
*I will be able to continue taking normal cab calls, and will be driving a minivan, which will let me take more passengers at once (5 or 6, depending on model, vs 4 in a Prius).
The not-so-good part:
*My gas expenses (which are my problem, not the company's) will basically triple. Still worth it.
