As the thread title says I'm just wondering if anyone out there has worked for them or knows someone who does?
 
Actually, why I'm here, I know I asked about Allegiance but I'm open to other suggestions for CCT work. I love CCT. I live for it. I've got five years high volume CCT exp (including IABP w/o a hand holding RN aboard) plus a year of Flight exp plus FP-C, CCP-C, C-NPT, and PNCCT.
 
I know a few people that work for them. They are not a high volume CCT transport company from my understanding though they do get some.

That's unfortunate. There's gotta be a high volume CCT company somewhere in Texas.

Not so much in Houston. The rural areas double their 911 as critical care a lot

Same in Houston. I'm willing to bet AMR has a large percentage, but i also know their cct trucks end up on bls runs a lot too

It's really dependent on which county. From a buddy that works at allegiance "Haha they act like we do a lot of CCT but 3/4 of our boxes don't have vents or pumps." In Denton and Collin county the majority are run by Sacred Cross who I work for part time and Acadian (spelling?). Dallas is AMR and Careflite. Allegiance in Denton and Collin county is more known as a dialysis company.
 
I work for Allegiance in College station right now. We do run CCT calls.
 
I'm a current Allegiance employee. Been pretty happy, but we have a lot of the same complaints that people do about most services.

Allegiance has a few CCT crews, but like most of the services in the area (Sacred Cross isn't a high volume CCT service either) the volume isn't all that high. I see Acadian's CCT truck sitting at dialysis facilities all the time. CareFlite nabs more than any because of the investment from THR & Baylor, although a lot of the "CCT calls" can be handled by a system ALS unit as well.
Allegiance doesn't label trucks as CCT, so you wouldn't know one just by looking at it. Guardian had a big old Freightliner, but it died ages ago.

"Allegiance in Denton and Collin county is more known as a dialysis company."

We have a whopping two dialysis patients in Denton. Everything else is the same stuff anyone else gets. Facility -> ER, Hospital -> Facility, Facility -> Facility.
