    second job for on-call EMT?

    This sounds like Protransport-1's B:censored::censored:S 24/7 availability scheme. As an ex-PT1 employee I can tell you that if you agree to be available "24/7" they expect you to drop whatever you're doing or planned on doing and be there for the assigned shift. This week you could get 38hrs...

    Protransport or Royal?

    ^^This is the best advice. Again I'm not trying to bash Protransport-1 at all. I'm merely giving an insider's perspective. Truth be told as I stated earlier I would work for them again under different circumstances

    Protransport or Royal?

    AMEN to both those two!!! I only lasted 2.5 months out in 81! I loved all the guys I worked with,the supervisors were awesome,and it was cool to be in Sf...but scheduling is a sham! Great field employees..bad business practices
