Maintenance Standards

Our school district partners benefit from our nationally recognized preventive maintenance program. Buses are not only kept clean on the outside, but are in excellent shape under the hood as well. 

Vehicles are maintained in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and requirements.  Our preventive maintenance program will meet and exceed state and federal inspection requirements. In addition, we will follow our company’s preventive maintenance program, which includes the following:

  Twice daily, 86-point safety inspection by the driver.
  Inspection of belts, hoses, and fluid levels at each fueling of the vehicle.
  Defects found as a result of the above inspections will be repaired immediately if safety related; otherwise, they will be made at the next preventive maintenance inspection.
  A preventive maintenance inspection, covering safety and other mechanical components, will be conducted by trained maintenance technicians following strict schedules according to specified days and miles.
  Manufacturer recommendations will be followed or exceeded on all scheduled maintenance programs, i.e., oil changes, lubrication, belt and hose replacements, component replacements, etc.

Each of our buses is scheduled for regular preventive maintenance inspection according to hours of operation, miles traveled, or days operated, depending on the type of operation and service being provided.
