Early Morning Backup NEMT Driver
Route contracted through Richwood Transport
Are you an early riser looking to earn extra income before most people start their day?
I’m looking for a dependable 1099 subcontractor to provide backup coverage for an established Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) route contracted through Richwood Transport. You’ll know the route, passengers, and expected compensation before leaving home — no waiting for ride requests or wondering where your next trip will take you.
THE ROUTE
This is an established route — not on-demand or rideshare driving. You’ll transport the same passengers to one appointment location in Onalaska and then return them home.
Approximate morning pickups:
• Camp Douglas — 4:20 AM
• Tomah — 4:40 AM
• Sparta — 5:00 AM
• Arrive in Onalaska — 5:30 AM
The route takes approximately 2 hours from first passenger pickup to final passenger drop-off. Your total time will depend on where you live.
COVERAGE NEEDED
• Every other weekend (Saturday & Sunday)
• Additional weekdays as needed
• Occasional holiday coverage
• Flexible availability preferred — ideally available for backup coverage 7 days a week
This does not mean you will work seven days a week. This is a backup/fill-in position, and the amount of available work will vary.
COMPENSATION
-
Route pays $125–$200+/ day, based on the passengers actually transported.
-
Direct deposited every Friday.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
• Age 21+
• Valid driver's license and qualifying driving record
• Reliable SUV or minivan (10 years old or newer)
• Seating for at least 5 adult passengers
• Current vehicle insurance
The requirements are set by the Health Services Department. Take note of the following:
-
No more than two (2) moving violations in a two (2) year time frame.

Must successfully complete Richwood Transport's required credentialing and approval process. Most of these include First Aid/CPR, various quizzes, drug test, and defensive driving course. You will also be required to provide an Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number. Richwood Transport send you a link to obtain one; it is free and takes just a few minutes.
No medical experience is required, and there is no hands-on patient care or heavy lifting. This is a 1099 subcontractor opportunity. You provide your own vehicle and are responsible for fuel, insurance, maintenance, taxes, and other operating expenses.
WHY IT'S A GREAT SIDE GIG
Earn $125–$200+ in just a few hours, finish early, and have the rest of your day free. You'll have an established route, consistent passengers, and one destination — all while helping people get to important medical appointments.
