86 Questions and Passed the NREMT-I85 here in Ohio. Finished the class last December, and just now took the test. I thought I completely bombed the test.

Wheeled coaches are pretty decent rigs. They arent a top of the line custom truck, but they do get the job done. We operate almost 90 Wheeled Coach Type II that are no older than 3 years that are pretty reliable. Sure they do ahve problems with the FORD side meaniong the motors. But other than...

Medium Duty Most of our fleet of 250 ambulances are type II's most with walkthrus. We have about 40 type III's and about 8 type I's. There are 7 Medium duties that we use only as MICU's. Most of our people prefer the type II's, However some people, mainly the ones that come from a 911...

2 weeks ago I passed my EMT-1 practicals. first try with no problems. Now I just gotta get time to finish the clinicals.

wheeled coach. The service I work for in the last 2 years has bought 80 of the type II stock series crusader. With 70 of them being fords, and 10 being chevys. We have had really good luck with wheeled coach. The crews like them, granted the could use a little more room in the back, and the...

The MICU crews here at Life are requesting them to go in the older MICU units. They get noisy at times, and it would be great for them to be able to talk to the driver without having to yell at him, and also be able to use the radio without having to crawl up front and use it. We used to...

All I can say is WTF????

Ryder your exactly right about the conversion manufacturer making them smaller, but it would help it the vehicle manufacturer would make the vans a little wider to give them a little more room for the cabinets. So far two of our chevy type II's have over 15,000 miles on them. Still going...

We have since picked up the other 8. We have had a handful of problems, mainly with the chevy emission system. Wheeled Coach on the other hand has been great. Our crews are hating the emissions/exhaust filter light on the chevy that seems to come on alot. However they seem to handle better than...

At my agency we run into the same type of situations. The basics are extrmely limited as to what they can do, even though the state/region protocal allows they. Our medical director is very trict on what he allows our crews to do. For example ohio region 5 protocal allows basics to itubate...

We just picked up 5 more wheeled coach type 2's, with at least 8 more ordered. These are on the 07/08 chevy chasis with the duramax diesels. They look like they should be good trucks!

Im hoping to make it to the expo. I was telling mf GF about it and she is also interested. She is an EMT-I. Just a matter of getting the vacation time away from the rat-race.

The service I work for just picked up 5 brand new chevy type 2 ambulances direct from wheeled coach. And they have ordered at least 8 more to be delivered at the end of the month. And I heard rumor from my boss that they might be getting 20 more after that. I am just wondering what everybody...

Im had. Ive got the more lights in the vehicle, and can tell most of the pager tones. I work in just a company t-shirt most of the time, and am willing to work 60 or more hours a week at a 50 hour salary. But then again, I work as a paid EMT, Volly EMT/FF, and set-up radio systems for our company.

While working at a past private service, I was working with a CPR driver; gotta love west virginia, still requiring just an emt and cpr driver; he pulled the cot out faster than the catch could catch at the end of the truck. He has squeezed the handle and the cot ended up on the tailboard. The...
