Fleet management in NEMT is not a spreadsheet of odometer readings. It is knowing that the ramp van due for service on Thursday is also carrying eleven wheelchair rides on Thursday.
Most small operators have very few. Losing one to unplanned maintenance breaks the week.
Defects found in the cab that never reach anyone who can act on them.
Nobody adds up what an off-road vehicle actually cost in refused rides.
Every van, its type, its accessibility equipment, and what it is allowed to carry.
Service intervals tracked against real mileage, with the schedule aware of what is booked on that vehicle.
A failed pre-trip item becomes a defect on the list immediately, not at the end of the shift.
Driver hours and vehicle availability in the same place as the board that depends on both.
The assignment engine knows a van is off the road, so it never plans a day around one.
It captures pre-trip inspections and the defects they raise, with a record per vehicle and date. Your specific state filing requirements are worth checking against that on the call.
Yes — sedans, ambulatory vans and ramp vans are different vehicle types, and the assignment rules respect what each one can carry.
Yes. A vehicle marked off the road is removed from available capacity before the board is built.
