Thanks to a new user (excellent_driver)I found a major bug that all new users have likely experienced - you register and login and the you get a 403 or 'Not authorized' error when trying to login.
It will take me a little time to resolve the issue completely but the forum is still functional and will work with your username and password if you go in through the 'side door' for now...
My first day netted me a $400 tip because I was able to quickly and effectively bandage a fairly large and heavily bleeding wound on a bride after a photo shoot. It saved her dress from getting blood on it and helped her get on with the night. I needed a lot more gauze than is normally carried in a "regulation" first aid kit. My cost for supplies used: $.85, making it a profit of $395.15.
This is my very first post and I have a few questions. I'm 41 and am thinking about becomming a limo driver. I may take a course online with which I'll get a certificate once completed. My questions are: What's the process for getting a limo license in Texas or Kentucky? what could be the expected pay in one of the States mentioned above? Is a physical required? I have no problem with this one, just curious.
I'm wanting to get some general info before I pay for the course.
I've just started out in the Limo business but I've been with EMS for 7 years and I carry one heck of an emergency kit. In addition to a very well stocked first aid/trauma kit, I carry the usual stain remover pen, lint brush/roller, medium size sewing kit, shoe polish (black, brown and "clear"), duct tape, electrical tape, superglue, 2 part epoxy, plastic zip ties and hose clamps.
Personally, I think every professional driver should have a good quality first aid kit that is kept fresh and current and that goes beyond "minimums". I carry extra bulk dressings and Maxi Pads (medically I use the pads as a last resort for major bleeding), a plethora of tape products (thin, white, plastic, silk and broad athletic) and most all, a good supply of gloves and at least 2 resuscitation masks. Gloves are useful for a million and one things (including a last resort gasket or patch for a leaking hose in conjunction with a couple of hose clamps).

I can give people guidelines on what to keep in a good first aid kit if they would like.
I live in the Allentown, PA area. I've been out of work for a few months and think no might be a good time to look into becoming a driver. Can anyone advise me how to begin? None of the limo outfits here seem to be hiring. But I'm willing to start at the bottom. I'm 53 with a very clean driver record, no dui's, etc.
