I'm not an EMT yet, so I don't have much room to talk here. The agency I'm going through to get me certification is all volunteer. They have a '99 McCoy Miller on a Ford F-450 chassis. Also have a 2009 Braun Chief on a Ford F-350 chassis. Both are nice rigs, but they don't go out that often. Mostly mutual aid and rural rescue calls for farm accidents and wrecks. Will post some pics when I get a chance.
What does your agency ride in...

Why do your services do with the beat up ambulances when you get a new one or dont want it anymore? Sell it back or just trash it?

when we are done with them there is nothing that can be done except scrap them. they get thrashed.
For our type 1s The still usable boxes are refurbished and put on new chassis. Unusable boxes are scrapped. Used chassis are sold off. I'm not sure what happens to our type 2s as we are just now having to pull from service and dispose of those.
We sell ours off to whoever wants them. Several are running around town still being used by carpenters, plumbers, etc.
Our newest:
Its a Wheeled Coach, and I am not that thrilled with the quality of the build. A lot of the materials and fit and finish is much lower than our old Braun and McCoy Millers. I guess that's what lowest bidder means <_<

My service auctions off used Ambulances for the most part. Up to a third of our decommissioned units may be donated to community groups, educational institutions and international aid groups. Priority is given to local uses. Recently we have donated trucks to St John Ambulance, one to the Ontario Police College for training and one was sent to Haiti to be used by a mobile midwife service.

Here is one of the newer III's, It is a 05 E350, I dont recall who the box is, but is nice and the 6.0 is fffffffast.
Here is a II that got totalled. It was a 04 Osage with only 42k on it. (it was a reserve truck.
Another one of our reserve trucks is a 01 E450 Wheeled Coach. It is a reserve because of the miles on it. This thing is slowwwww. I could probably run faster than this thing. And it smells like it burns antifreeze, but it runs reliably.
Here is the truck that I used to work on, until we got our new unit. It is a F-450 Wheeled Coach 14' Box on, what I suspect to be, a former Brush truck chassis. It is 6x6. It weighs approx 15,600 lbs. We weighed it one day at a truck stop out of sheer curiosity. We hit a deer it in one night and they didnt even feel it in the back. This thing is a BEAST!
I will post pictures of my new rig when I get a good picture of it. It is a 2011 E350 on a McCoy Miller 14' box. It is nice.

The Company I work for uses many different brand of ambulance. Most of our fleet consists of Wheeled Coach Type II's. Many times when we need new vehicles they will buy 2 test ambulances from a company they have never done business with before to compare with the wheeled coaches we have. That being said here is the list.
2 Type I's Used For BLS
23 Type II's Used for BLS transport
6 Type III's Used For Bariatric and SCTU
