Manage maintenance, licensing and inspections for 230 ambulances and wheelchair vehicles at 25 stations in three states. When I began, the fleet had not been well maintained for a year. 50+% of the fleet was out of service. Many vendors would not repair due to slow pay. Nine months later, with the help of a terrific First Med team, 85% of the fleet was in.
