Fleet Maintenance
Put optimal performance at the forefront
A strong fleet maintenance program is critical to success.
Trusting that your students are getting where they need to be — safely and reliably — gives parents and school administrators peace of mind. Whenever possible, we go beyond Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) recommendations for your fleet maintenance — to heighten vehicle safety, maximize equipment life cycle, and minimize vehicle down-time through scheduling efficiency.
You don’t just need a fleet of buses — you need a fleet that runs well. Our fleet management and maintenance programs are among the most exacting and innovative in the industry, helping you to prevent:
- Bus breakdowns
- High maintenance and fuel costs
- Excessive fuel consumption
- Short fleet life cycles
