Other Running Repairs
If any defect is found by a Driver, he/she will fill out a work request and submit it for repair. Most of the time, these small defects are repaired and completed the same day. If this defect is a downing item, the vehicle will be placed “out of service” until repaired.

New Vehicles
All vehicles and equipment are assigned identification numbers. This number is used to track every school bus, vehicle, and piece of equipment from the date it is purchased to the day of disposal. We are using a number system of five numbers; the first 3 ID the build year the last two ID the order in which we received them. Also the last two number of the ID are used to identify whether it is a school bus or a vehicle. We use numbers 01 through 50 for buses. Numbers 51 to 99 are used for vehicles or equipment. The number of a vehicle will identify whether it is a bus, vehicle or equipment.
