What happens when two real estate pros bring their sales playbook to NEMT?60% of their rides now come from private pay individuals who find them online. Eight months in.

That's exactly what Mackenzie Andrews and Raymond Damitio, owners of Doctor Ride in Charlotte, NC, break down in this episode of the NEMT Experts Podcast with Bambi CEO Nirav Chheda.

They built the website before the van. Walked into 75 facilities before owning a vehicle. Built their own CRM when nothing on the market handled the sales side of NEMT.

Saying "no" to a brand new facility is terrifying... but what if it's the secret to winning their trust?

In our latest clip from the NEMT Experts Podcast, Nakaa Clark, founder of Cali Care Transportation , shares the exact moment she turned down a wheelchair transport because the patient needed more than minimal assistance to safely stand and pivot.
As a growing NEMT owner, it’s so tempting to take every call just to prove you're reliable. But Nakaa knew that putting the patient (and her business) in jeopardy wasn't worth it. 🛑

The result? The facility appreciated her honesty so much that it completely solidified their relationship! 🤝✨

It’s a powerful reminder: Patient safety always comes first, and true facility partnerships are built on trust—not just saying "yes" to every trip.

🎧 Watch the full episode at the link below to learn how Nakaa built her incredible 10-van fleet in Southern California in just 18 months—without relying on a single broker!

Most drivers keep moving. It's just a trip. Just a job. Stay on schedule. Nakaa's Pink Crew? They wait the extra 2 minutes. 💕

Because that might be the last time that person feels sunlight on their face. The last time they breathe fresh air. And every single Cali Care Transportation driver is trained — from day one, by Nakaa Clark herself — to understand the weight of that moment.
She even had to let a driver go who couldn't make the shift. He wasn't a bad person.
He just came from a "let's go, let's do it, next trip" world.

The takeaway for every NEMT founder watching from this NEMT Experts Podcast: 👇
✨ The way you train your drivers IS your brand.
✨ Compassion doesn't slow you down — it builds the kind of reputation brokers can't buy.
✨ Sometimes the best hires are the ones you build from scratch.

You don't have to start with Medi-Cal and Medicare.

Nakaa Clark — founder of Cali Care Transportation — built a 10-van NEMT fleet in Southern California by going straight to private pay. No state certification gauntlet. No waiting months for approvals. No broker middlemen. 💸

Her logic was beautifully simple:
"I paid money to get my dad to the doctor. I know there are other people just like me — working full-time, picking up kids from school, can't take a day off — but mom and dad still need to get to that appointment."

So she built the business those people needed. 💕

The lesson for any NEMT founder feeling buried in red tape: there is more than one way to start. Private pay is real. Facility contracts are real. And your community probably needs you faster than the certification process is going to let you arrive. 🚐

Her receipts on why we're "the different one":
🦌 No salespeople — every dollar goes back into the product
🦌 Transparent pricing — because there's nothing to sell when you're honest

Run Bambi Run.

Can you run 10 NEMT vans… on Google Calendar? 📱😬

Nakaa Clark, founder of Cali Care Transportation , told us the truth on Episode 108 of the NEMT Experts Podcast: "I felt so overwhelmed."

For over a year, every single trip — client name, DOB, pickup, drop-off, weight — was going into the Google Calendar app on her phone. Every morning, she'd refresh it and just hoped she didn't miss a ride. 🎰

If your dispatch system involves any of the following, this clip is your sign to meet Bambi:
📌 Sticky notes
📌 Group texts
📌 A whiteboard you're scared to erase
📌 Google Calendar

What if you could grow a 10-van NEMT fleet with almost ZERO broker work?
For so many NEMT owners, getting stuck in the broker cycle feels inevitable.

But in our latest clip from the NEMT Experts Podcast, Nakaa Clark (Founder of Cali Care Transportation ) shares how she built her business completely differently!
Her secret? A relentless, non-negotiable focus on patient safety. 🛑💙
"These people have families. This is someone's mom, someone's dad. It's not right for us to just do it if we don't feel like it's safe."

By putting safety over quick wins, Nakaa built undeniable trust with local healthcare facilities. That reputation allowed her to scale her business directly, facility-by-facility, proving that you don't need to rely on brokers to be incredibly successful in this industry! ✨
