Hello my name is John Lato, I have been in the non-emergency transport business for the last two years. I truly love and enjoy this business so much I made a decision to purchase my own van and to convert into a wheelchair accessible to start my own non emergency transport (NEMT) company, Arrow Transport LLC. The name was inspired by my dog, Arrow. She is a registered ESA support dog, she is so sweet it helps me to remember that kindness is a way of life.
I have been in the transportation buisness my entire life, I’m a St. Louis native. My driving career started as a lot of people have by delievering pizzas then I got into the courier buisness. I even did medical deleveries as well, I switched over to driving a 24′ straight box truck. I also got a chance to become a Teamster concrete ready mix driver for over 12 years. After that journey, I started driving a taxi cab for St. Louis County and Yellow cab for ten plus years. We did a lot of medical trips, senior citizens trips, and even took children to and from school. A new Rideshare App got started called Uber. I have driven for over six years with Uber (and currently I am still an active driver for them) I was asked by a friend if I would like to drive for a NEMT company.
I will be able to provide service for ambulatory and wheelchair patients who experience or have no way to leave their homes to get too medical appointments, or to see family on the holidays or for a special occasion.
I am FBI background checked, drug free/tested and fully vacaniated. In addition I have completed the following courses: defensive driving, CPR, first aid, emt wheelchair training, and sexual harrassment classes.
