#busmaintenance

Being a fleet manager, the main thing that concerns you is the safety and reliability of your vehicles, for example, buses. Preventive maintenance is highly recommended during summer so that students’ buses are well prepared to transport students once the school is in session.

Here are key areas to inspect:

Tire Rotation and Replacement: Buses are used for thousands of miles every year and doing the right thing in terms of tire checks and changes could help prevent tragic mishaps.

Brake Pad and Shoe Inspection: Vehicles with frequently applied brakes will see their brake pads become eroded. This way, an early’ bus inspection makes it possible to have your buses fit for the road safety.

Battery Check: Check that every bus has a good battery and working properly. Usually, batteries last 5-6 years, but replacement of old ones can save from breakdowns.

Radiator Flush: Ensure your buses are not overheating by having the radiator flushed so they run efficient during this school year.

Windows and Doors: Often inspect and maintain doors and windows so that it opened and closed properly and can be used if necessary.

Ensuring that regular maintenance is conducted now will reduce on the costs of repair and ensure your fleets are ready for use when school commences.
