WOW! What a reception last night. We hope everyone had a great time and got to meet some new people. We have posted a few photos from the reception so be sure to check those out by clicking here.
So here we are, we have finally arrived at the opening day of the 2011 America’s Best. We will begin the day with breakfast at 6:30am then a bus ride from the Hyatt to North East ISD at 7:30am. After arriving we will have a pre-event briefing given by Mr. Casey, then move right into a full day of training sessions. We will have Conmet kick things off for the technicians with a training session on Wheel End assemblies, then it’ll be on to Penray for cooling system maintenance, then Thomas Built Buses for Multiplex wiring. On the Inspection side we will start with Marshall Casey providing an hour long session on the changes and updates made to the 2010 National School Transportation Specifications and Procedures (NSTSP). After Mr. Casey has completed his session Joe Scesny will provide the Inspectors with two one hour sessions dealing with, “High % Defects” and finishing with “Inspection Programs USA”
We’ll all take a lunch break from 11:30am-12:30pm then resume the training sessions at 12:30pm. Technician training will be given by Purkey’s Fleet Electric from 12:30pm until 3:30pm, while over on the Inspectors end of things Mr. Scesny will provide a session titled “Pre-Trip Inspections” from 12:30pm-2:00pm. That session will be followed by “School Bus Safety Issues” from 2:00pm until 3:15pm.
Mr. Casey will bring everyone back together for a brief meeting at 3:30pm-3:45pm, this will be followed up with everyone taking a written exam from 3:45pm-4:45pm given by ASE.
