Dallas, TX, March 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Dallas County Schools’ technicians gathered for a day of classroom and technical training with Hydrotex®, Stewart & Stevenson and Alternator Service. Over 60 technicians participated in this continuing education program.
“We are thrilled about the training provided to the technicians; offering continuing education programs has always been a priority,” stated Gary Sutton, Fleet Manager of Dallas County Schools. “Hydrotex is training on the Principles of Lubrication. It is one thing to simply pour oil in a bus and another to know the correct lubrication management practices and how to read an oil analysis. In addition, we had transmission training by Stewart & Stevenson to learn various factors about the Allison Transmission and Alternator Service training on the new battery and charging system. Dallas County Schools has 12 service centers. So training not only builds confidence and reliability, it develops community. The technicians are also tested in Texas Association of Pupil Transportation (TAPT) courses. The education they received is invaluable.”
Dallas County Schools is the 3rd largest pupil transportation fleet in the United States. Operating a fleet of approximately 2,000 buses, Dallas County Schools transports approximately 71,000 children to and from school each day.
“Safety is our number one goal. In order to ensure safety, we need the proper knowledge and equipment. I’m looking forward to future training sessions,” said Amzad Hosein, Shop Supervisor at the Kleberg Service Center.
“Our goal is to teach the technicians about lubrication management practices and increase their knowledge about sustainable solutions. I believe the correct training, tools and products will save money and extend the equipment life for these maintenance programs,” said Dwight Gleaves, VP of Pupil Transport Sales at Hydrotex.
Hydrotex collaborated with Stewart & Stevenson and Alternator Service to tailor the training for Dallas County Schools. Hydrotex offers customized lubrication training to school districts across the nation.
