    Yeah, it’s the combination that OP was taking issue with. You can’t pay like shit for jobs that require drug testing.

      This right here.

      Shit fucking pay can’t possibly be combined with a drug test. Who the hell (who isn’t a felon or a junkie) would be willing to work for so little?

      We’re in the middle of nowhere too. The driver would regularly have to leave the state or drive across the state.

      I don’t understand the mindset of these people. He’s losing money for every patient that doesn’t get a ride through his company and he’d seriously rather let the vehicles sit. It makes no sense to me. If he paid good he’d be doing even better. Not as well as he imagines he could be doing robbing people, but still he’d be doing better.

      Some joker out there will do it for shit wages and that convinces him there must be more people out there that are ok with being paid so little. He imagines how much money he could have if he’d juuuuust find 10 more suckers to rip off.

      Every time I see him coming since that conversation something locks up in me.

        How big of an area does this guy serve? Or are you close enough to a state line that this sounds farther than it is?

          The area he serves isn’t huge as far as population goes, but when people here have to see a specialist, there are two options. Depending on the need it’s 80 miles away or 175.
