How much does ambulance driver make?

Answer 1

Pay depends on where you work. West coast is the highest average pay, an EMT-Basic is usually the person driving and can start around 25,000/year on average. When you get experience and addon training, some places will pay them upwards of $40,000. When you get to the paramedic level, starting is around 46,000/year to 56,000/year. Most I've ever seen on a person's paycheck was $65,000/year but I'm sure there's someone somewhere getting more. For east coast, because there are many more people vying for the jobs, salaries are around 70% of the west coast. So an EMT with 8 years experience in Georgia may not make as much as a new hire in Oregon. BY THE BY: I don't know any employers who hire ambulance drivers. Never have since 1976-ish. Most people hire EMTs and Paramedics because they need to be able to treat the patient and not just drive. You don't call RN's ass-wipers, so why pick one part of an EMT's job to desribe them? Don't mean to be offensive, but a lot of responders get offended at that term just like an RN would be offended at "ass-wiper."
