Instructional Material for the School Bus Maintenance Garage
This valuable manual helps you develop and maintain a first rate Preventive Maintenance Program for your fleet. Learn about preventive maintenance, proactive maintenance and predictive maintenance. 13 easy to read and understand sections explain it all. In order to keep transporting our most valuable resource, our children, how can you afford not to read this "how to" manual. A must for every school bus maintenance garage.
 
Developed and used by Brad Barker, a certified master school bus mechanic and fleet manager with over 30 years of hands on experience. Brad has been on the technical advisory board for School Bus Fleet magazine for several years and served on state and national school bus committees.
 

Bob Williamson of Premier Transportation stated "I was impressed with the detail and how thorough the manual is.  Definitely a valuable manual to have here in the office."

 

The School Bus PM offers insight to everything from starting a PM program to documenting and analyzing the data. You are then shown how you can use this information to improve your operation and build reports to help administrators understand your needs.

My manual is simple to read and understand. This is not a college text book. Concise yet detailed enough to give you the necessary information. If you have questions along the way, contact me by email and I will give you more information as needed to help improve and develop your existing program.
