The drivers, have a multitude of talents and certifications. They are Nationally Certified Auto Mechanics, State Certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) or Paramedics, and Nationally Certified Animal Control Officers to name just a few.

I dont think I would qualify. It would be an interesting thing to do.

yah its not just a job you walk into. I think they start with certain certs, and then are required as time goes by to fulfill more requirements. Who'd a thunk those guys are some talented cookies out there! They DO get the pretty MSP Red light on top of their vans though!
