Richard Zuschlag, founder, chairman, and CEO of Acadian Cos., parent of Acadian Ambulance, is someone who knows a good thing when he sees it. He can spot what makes something special, and he and his medics found this in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The company has grown steadily for 40 years and today ranks as the largest rural ambulance service in the nation, with the help of smarter work vehicles and Acadian's can-do attitude.
