I too was on the Uber/Lyft treadmill, and honestly, yeah, you'll not get rich, but you can make a life out of it.
The advantage of medical transport is you get a schedule of what your trips are that day. I know tomorrow I'll be starting around 4am and off around 3pm. Long day, but I'll average $18 an hour and get a lot of reading in.
Far fewer tips though. :) The most common provider is Logisicare, one of the easiest gig versions to get in with is Provado, though if you've got an contractor group working in your area (like the one I work with in Yuba City), your schedule will be far more filled.
And whatever we (or other providers) can't get done gets shoved off to Lyft (which you've probably experienced someone wanting to know if you'll wait for them when you get to the doctor's office.)
I’ve thought about focusing on the medical transport. My only vehicle right now is an SUV operating on 4 inches of lift and bully bars for steps.
Not friendly for anyone looking to go to the doctor. But it may be something I consider if things change.
Either way, I hope to be out of the industry soon. I do like it though so I may even just clock in every once in a while and get a change of pace.
