MAINTENANCE TOPICS

1.  Proper air pressure in all tires is (105psi).

2.  Check equipment you use for up to date paperwork (registration, insurance card, Annual State or Commercial Inspection form) before moving.  Call dispatch or Safety for copies that are illegible or expired.

3.  Enter the correct truck # and mileage on the pump.  Every week we have 3-4 fueling entries wrong.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

4.  ALL DEF purchases must be made at the pump.  Please let Rick know if your truck does not have a DEF filling prevention device (can borrow from loves).  Call Rick Ext 231 if any questions.

5.  If you have assigned equipment not receiving proper repairs call Rick (337) 706-8846 ext. 231.
