Rewarding healthcare driving job

Mobile MRI, CT/PET companies like Alliance and Shared PET Imaging might be an option. They're basically a third party mobile imaging company that goes from from hospital to hospital. They have their own technicians that basically does CT, MRI/PET scans for hospitals that are over booked on their own machines.

Job in itself as a truck driver is pretty easy. It's probably THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the business, because without that mobile trailer, everybody suffers...the hospital, patients, technicians, etc. You spend a lot of time bobtailing, going from one hospital, picking up the trailer, moving it to another hospital, dropping it, and bobtailing home. Radioactive material once they are turned on. Usually it's the drivers job to set everything up at the hospital so the technicians came just come in and start doing their job. Setting up the trailers can take up to an hour or more. You basically have to expand the trailer like an RV, hook up the power lines, set up the canopies, railing, steps, chairs, turn on the MRI/PET/CT, set up radiation barriers, turn on the computers, and other small things that isn't all that difficult, just time consuming. When you move a trailer to another hospital, everything has to be broken down, placed in the storage compartments, and everything has to be strapped down on the inside so tables, computers, chairs, etc., aren't bouncing around all over the place. Mostly afternoon and night work and long hours. Pay I think is around $25-26 an hour nowadays. And you also need a tuberculosis shot too in order to be able to enter hospital buildings.

 

dealing with the general public can suck.

people don't know how to interact with each other anymore,haven't for yrs

some people can do it. I could for a few yrs. as a store manager. then went to factory management

ended up driving. less interaction.

I can't do stupid anymore. lol

 

healthcare is a scam, so yes as with any scam there are great rewards

 

Yeah, and Chinatown had to go and say the "McK" word, which probably pings an alert on the Frequent Poster's screen.

"Paid by satellite the second the fifth wheel closes on the pin, 3 feet of snow barefoot uphill both ways, 9-11, blah blah blah......."

 

Maybe get on with one of the cryo carriers?

Then you deliver life-giving oxygen to the hospital patients, without ever having to actually MEET any of them!

 

Working at FRESENIUS

Fresenius Medical Care, has tractor trailers and other trucks,delivering supplies to medical facilities, (kidney dialysis), or peoples homes.

 

I had a friend who worked for a medical gas supplier, pretty sweet job at the time, pulled an O2 trailer delivering to hospitals mostly.
Always good equipment, good pay, paid by the hour, overtime after 40 hrs, was even paid hourly for OTR, furthest he travelled was 500 miles one way, never in a big hurry, regular coffee breaks.

 

...sitting here scratching my head.

Hey @MagnumaMoose you hear this? Blair here thinks he delivers loads that make the world rotate. I wonder how old he is, really, surely he has witness the beginning of time or something... something something vacuum of space.

Get a grip, bucko!

 

Ooooooh - you cheeky little bugger. I was waxing lyrical.

Get back to work - I’m in the rocking chair on the porch.

 

You forgot to tell him to get off your lawn.
