Prerequisites:
You will learn the procedures for servicing truck and coach vehicle systems for the purpose of routine maintenance. This will involve servicing of the truck, bus or tractor and trailer combination vehicles on a monthly maintenance schedule. You will perform engine and power train lubrication fluid inspections and changes, as well as lubrication to chassis steering and suspension components and inspections of brake and brake adjustment systems. You will be required to record data from such vehicles and equipment into the service records similar to that used by trucking and bussing companies and fleets. This will include the creation and setup of such programs that could be adapted to electronic files and storage as so commonly used today. All servicing of this nature would be conducted by using proper safety and maintenance procedures as outline in the proper manufacturer service manuals.
