i <br />i <br />s <br />~___ <br /> <br />designated "L", "LO", and "B". The <br />"L" PM includes the lubrication of <br />the chassis and U-joints, checking <br />fluid levels, and checking for leaks. <br />It is performed at 7,500 miles. At <br />15,000 miles, the "LO" PM is per- <br />formed. It includes all checks from <br />the "L" inspection plus changing oil <br />and oil filters. The "B" PM is con- <br />ducted at 20,000 miles and includes <br />checking and/or adjusting some 90 <br />items on the tractor. Not counting <br />time for repairs which might be re- <br />quired, the "B" inspection takes the <br />experienced mechanic four hours to <br />complete. Each mechanic has a pro- <br />cedure book which explains how to <br />conduct each inspection. <br />Mack tractors receive the "LO" <br />inspection at 8,000 miles, and the <br />"B" PM at 20,000 miles. <br />A 17-item general inspection is <br />conducted on all trailers at 20,000 <br />miles. It includes checking and re- <br />pairing as required lights, wiring, <br />mudflaps, springs, and tightening of <br />bolts. Grease is cleaned from king- <br />pins, which are checked for wear, <br />cracks and looseness. Wheels are <br />jacked ~ up and closely inspected. <br />• <br />Brakes are inspected, and hoses and <br />lines are checked for leaks. <br />Individual preventive mainte- <br />nance inspections have been <br />Course Outline for Miller Transporters' <br />One-Day Hazardous Materials Training Seminar <br />Loading and Unloading Chemicals and Acid <br />1.

On pneu- <br />matics, air pads are checked for <br />holes, hatches are cleaned and <br />gaskets inspected. Air supply and <br />hoses are checked. The unit is then <br />taken outside, pressurized, and <br />checked for tightness and component <br />performance. <br />Chemical and petroleum tank <br />PMs emphasize inspection of safety <br />and product integrity equipment. <br />Also included are testing of hoses <br />and delivery equipment. Fire extin- <br />guishers are also checked. <br />Maintenance Bulletins <br />The Miller maintenance operation <br />involves continuous training and <br />communications. A fulltime me- <br />chanic trainer travels among ter- <br />minals. He provides individual in- <br />struction to each mechanic on <br />specific maintenance topics. Miller <br />has its own Field Service Manual <br />which now has over 250 bulletins <br />covering various topics concerning <br />tractors, trailers, and shop pro- <br />cedures. The bulletins include <br />changes from manufacturers, pro- <br />blems to watch for, and procedures <br />for handling new equipment added <br />to the fleet. The bulletin sheets are <br />laminated, and manuals are readily <br />available to shop personnel. <br />All tractors and trailers are to be <br />washed, and all tires inspected and <br />aired each week. Washing and tire <br />charts are posted in each terminal. <br />Terminal managers must report de- <br />Miller's long distance central dispatch team of Woodie McDuffy and Marilyn Breedin <br />use a computer to obtain maximum efficiency from the fleet, and fo cut response time <br />to meet shipper requirements. Miller also has a local operations dispatch center. <br />
