Hey Guys,

We just 2 ambulances on International Chassis about 10 months ago. I love them and they were money well spent.

Having been a medic for a long time and ridden in numerous different ambulances, it has been my experience that they are not what they are cracked up to be. While they do have more than ample room in them, that can be a hinderance when you are working solo in the back. Items are sometimes difficult to reach. Additionally, the units I have ridden give a poor ride. This in my opinion can effect patient care.

Hope this helps.
