I was considering working for them. Do they run out of work often, etc.? TIA.

You are out of work more often than you have work. Accounts are way over staffed and when job/jobs get loaded into the system there are so many MTs jumping on them that the jobs are usually gone within 30 minutes and you wait again, up 1, 2 or 3 hours to get a few more jobs and the cycle repeats over and over.

I would say if you are depending on this for sole income, the work volume is not there. You can ask for more work, but it is my experience you are ignored.

I am not sure what account(s) you are working on for TransPortal, but your experience is not the same as mine. I have worked there nearly three years and have only rarely run out of work, maybe over a holiday. It is full transcription and the line rate is competitive. The healthcare coverage is optional and through payroll deduction, but I think that is pretty standard these days. Good management that leaves you alone as long as you do your job.

One of the lowest paying MT jobs I ever had, pay steadily decreasing - on many accounts, former TP

My experience was one of the worst with this company. I worked there for a while and then quit. Communication stinks with management. They do have VR, not just straight typing. I think they were offering 7 cents for some accounts on transcription.

A while back, I was hired by them (That's what they told me) and they said they would send my hire paperwork to me. I never heard back, so I emailed the lady I was communicating with and got no response. I emailed for probably a week with still no response. Over a month later, when I found a different job, the lady emailed me and asked me if I was planning to work for them. She said it in a way like it was ME that was dragging and not doing what I should do or something. I emailed her back and told her that I never received another word from them and my emails were unanswered. She then did apologize and said she had to go out of town and she could send the paperwork to me. I told her I found another job then and she actually seemed rude to me about it, like I was wrong for doing that.

So, I didn't work for them, but disorganization in the hiring process like that would have been enough to make me second guess the job anyway.

Like one of the other responses, I have never used VR at Transportal. I enjoy it here and the money is good. I don't have any ESL providers on my two accounts. I see the group emails when production is not meeting turnaround times but I meet my commitment and they seem happy with the job I am doing. Maybe not a good fit for everyone but those I know who work here plan to stay.

you never using it doesn't mean they don't have it - nm

I've never felt like I had carpal tunnel until this company. The line counts are screwy. I'm pounding the keyboard so hard and entering templates galore and still coming out to minimum wage if I'm lucky. And no one will tell me why. I'm really disappointed in them and wonder what they're thinking. I guess they believe there will be an unlimited flow of MTs behind each one who leaves.

Just got hired with them... and I'm on my last day of the first pay period... and let me tell you!!! If you get an offer... RUN!! It sounds good, but is far from it!

I am very good in orthopedics, have done quite a bit in my many years of transcription, did well on the tests as far as I could tell, but got an email that I didn't qualify. Now I see they have another job posting for the same job. What's up? Is it hard to get a job with them. Seriously, orthopedics is my thing and I am well experienced at it. I applied again just in case. Any infro anyone can give on getting a job there? Are they just hard to get a job with? ...

pay 8 cents a line? This is awfully low for an IC position isn't it? I mean, when you are IC don't you have to pay your own taxes and have no benefits at all? So in essence it's a lot less than 8 cents. Are they out of the their minds or is this how long IC jobs are paying now? Around 10 years ago when I considered an IC job it paid 13-15 cents a line to offset. ???? ...

i had a job interview with Transportal's recruiter this past week and one of the things she mentioned is the fact that they will require ICs to purchase Errors and Omissions insurance. She said that by February 2010 the government would be requiring all IC medical transcriptionists to have this coverage. Have they told their current employees/ICs about this and, if so, does anyone have any idea what it costs? It sounds like a good company and the job offer is definit ...
