About HDS VANS – New & Used handicap Vans & Mobility

Following the Vietnam War, veterans returned from the military with a variety of disabilities.  In previous wars the survival rate of our armed forces that were injured in battle was considerably leass than in the Vietnam War.  This influx of disabled veterans produced the first major upswing in the industry we know today as the “adaptive equipment industry”.

Our Federal government was there with the funding and Jim Craig, the founder of Handicapped Driver Services, also a veteran, was there with the desire to help.  In 1984, Jim, always a visionary, entered the wheelchair equipped rental van business.  Handicapped Driver Services was one of the first firms in the country to rent accessible vans!

Handicapped Driver Services started in a small building in Atlanta.  As the business expanded, Jim moved to Marietta where he grew through two more locations.  In 1990, Michael Dresdner joined Jim as an employee and ultimately bought Handicapped Driver Services in 1991.  We continued to grow and in 1994 moved north of Marietta on I-75.

We are accredited through NMEDA’s Quality Assurance program as an Accredited Mobility Equipment Installer and high Tech Driving Systems Installer.  Now known as HDS VANS & MOBILITY, we employ over 40 full time employees and have been the largest installer of electronic driving systems in North America.  In addition to our adaptive equipment installations, we rent and lease wheelchair accessible vans.  HDS VANS & MOBILITY offers sales and service of all major lines of adaptive equipment and all major lines of wheelchair accessible mini vans.

HDS VANS & MOBILITY continued to grow throughout the Southeast and added locations in Jacksonville, FL; Nashville, TN; Birmingham, AL; and Chattanooga, TN
