Guide? Take advantage of all the resources available to you to achieve success. I would certainly suggest the DMV book for $5 and the guide that is being suggested. By comparing the two you will learn the background and theory behind the laws being written which is better than memorization...

Don't let up! The CA DMV test is tough. It is also riddled with poorly written questions. Study their $5 book and make sure you know it all. Then if you don't pass the test ask for the answers to the ones you missed and speak to a supervisor. I found 3 of the 5 that I "missed" were actually so...

7.16.030 Licenses--Required. Every ambulance operator shall procure and maintain a license and pay an annual license fee in the amount set forth in Section 7.14.010 of this code under the appropriate heading in order to operate in any incorporated city or unincorporated area of the county. (Ord...

Yes. They are a well run company and good for the year you need. You could do a lot worse!

Wow You know your stuff. You should be a lawyer. I think I'll show that fsla to my boss and see if he'll pay me for all the OT he owes me. After two years that's a lot of money. I hope I will still have a job next week!

10-4 yeah, I guess you're right...I guess that is why nobody is hiring, cause there are so many people beating down their doors and that make us easily replaceable. It just doesn't seem fair, that's all.

Customer service Okay, so if you are on a big Red Rig doing a bazillion calls to facilities that have to use you because of a city contract then you can have a lousy attitude, be late and hit on the nurses. But in a bls rig going to a facility that can choose which company to use then if you...

really? 43 hours. There are too many factoids floating around, can anyone help us all and site some specific labor codes that let the companies escape paying ot? I mean what if it is just a rumor that we don't earn OT?

Union dues? You are kidding! If I make even $20 instead of $11 that is $18,000 a year more! I'll pay the union dues, they cant be that much!

How much? I think a wage range of $18-$25 per hour would be commensurate with the work. Look, most of the EMTs I know are squared away people without the grunge factor who are fairly intelligent and emphasize patient care. That is what the companies are built on. But it would depend on where...

No OT/ You seem to know what you are talking about and that they don't pay OT, but that sure isn't what that stuff said from the SFPA. Sorry if my In-N-Out gaff upset anybody, but they make $13.50 and hour and have no liability was my point. And if a union could get me $25 instead of $11sh they...

No Overtime? But.....this says.. FYI from the San Francisco Paramedic website; http://www.sfparamedics.org/pages/ems/emt-press.php In March 2003, the Department of Labor (DOL) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register to revise and update the exemptions from overtime...

Dropped meat! At least when In-N-Out drops the meat they don't get fired and sued! Is ther a union we can join to help us? The ambo companies are probably making good money. Lets get some!

Is this right? Is this right if I can get a 24 hour shift if we figure $10/hour? 8 hours at regular pay + 4 hours at 1.5x pay + balance at double pay so = $80 + $60 + $240= $380 for a 24 hour shift?

Greedy....$11ish if I'm lucky? And $12-13 is rare? WTX? $11ish is less than In-N-Out burger flippers make! Why do you think ambulance companies can take advantage of us this way?
