Entries close at midnight on Halloween (11:59 PM CT, Sat Oct 31).

Win me

Scared of the dark?

The van with nobody in it. The phone at 5 AM. The claim that keeps coming back. Running NEMT at night is a horror movie, and everybody needs something to hold onto.

That's Bambi. Scheduling, dispatch and billing that keep working while you sleep.

Our favorites win an actual fawn to hug. We checked. It helps.

Follow us for the next nightmare: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook. Leave the light on.

The Bambi plush fawn, the contest prize

The prize

One very huggable Bambi fawn. Shipped by Nov 6.

A taste of the nightmares

Three from our series. Yours are probably worse.

5:02 AM. Your phone rings. It's your driver. "I can't make it today." Eleven trips just lost their driver. The first pickup is in 58 minutes.
The 5 AM Call-Off
Mile 112. Seats filled: 0. It's still moving. It's still burning gas. There's nobody inside. Every gallon it eats is yours.
The Zombie Van
47 unread. Who took the 3:30? Was that today or tomorrow? A thumbs up means yes, right?
The Group Text

How it works

The 5 AM call-off. The broker portal. The van that drove all day with nobody in it. You know the ones.

We read every one

Our team picks its favorites after entries close at midnight on Halloween.

Fawns ship

Winners hear from us by Nov 2. Each gets a Bambi plush fawn by Nov 6.

The one rule: keep it about the work, not the people. Drivers, brokers, billing, schedules.
  • Nothing about riders.
  • No names of people or companies, no medical details, nothing that points to anyone real.
  • We verify every entry behind the scenes. Entries that break the rule are never shared.

Tell us your scariest NEMT story

A few sentences is plenty. If yours wins and you say it's OK, we share it with your first name only, or anonymously.

Not a form person? Send it to us on Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook. Talk to us if you dare. We're friendlier than we look.

Staging preview: this form is a mock. The HubSpot form replaces it before launch.

Keep it about the work. No riders, no names of people or companies, no medical details. 600 characters max.

We verify every entry behind the scenes before anything goes public.
