I'm so fed up with th private service I work for here in FL. But to make a long story short me and my partner have already been on the road for 11 hours straight. We have had four vent transports with a double ejection MVA in between. No breaks. Now, we are on our fifth vent, which was out of town four hours round trip. When we get back we will have been running almost 13 hours straight. We have already been informed by dispatch that when we clear this, we have another out of town call which will be another 8 hours round trip. So that's about 21 hours of non stop driving in all. In my 10 years on the job, I have never heard of anything like this. We are already fatigued and since I have a baby on the way, I can't up and quit. I've heard this isn't even illegal. How can this be?!? I just don't feel that this is safe, for the pt or us. Thoughts?
