What Makes ServiCar stand out?
1. HIRING - We investigate all applicants thoroughly. Prior to hiring, all potential employees are investigated for drug and alcohol use, Criminal Background investigation, employment history, driving records, and both DOT and MDOE physically certified. Once hired, employees are randomly selected monthly for further drug and alcohol testing.
2. TRAINING - All of our drivers are state certified and trained in the skills of basic first aid, CPR, defensive driving, and student behavior management. Driver are required to have at least 61 hours of training in combination of in-house and State training. After completion of our program, employees go through an additional mandated training program at Oakland Schools for State of Michigan Certification and are road tested by a state certified third party road examiner.
3. SAFETY - We adapt our buses to meet the needs of individual passengers. This may include the usage of various child safety seats, seatbelts, wheelchair tiedowns, various assistive harnesses, and other specialized required devices and equipment.
4. VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTIONS - All of our buses are state certified and inspected by the Michigan State Police and our vans are inspected by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
5. RADIO COMMUNICATIONS - All of our School Buses are equipped with two-way radio communications with our dispatch center. Our system works off of three separate repeater stations on our private 900 MHz frequency through-out the Metro-Detroit area, providing us with communications through-out and beyond the tri-county area. They are also equipped with direct talk around for trips outside of the coverage area where communications between buses is needed.
6. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE - All buses are under a strict preventative maintenance program. We have an efficient maintenance department that can respond promptly. We maintain buses that can accommodate up to 77 passengers and some with undercarriage storage compartments.
7. IN BUSINESS SINCE 1964 - We have been an experienced, quality transportation provider for many years. Longevity speaks for itself, it takes a special type of person to become a ServiCar driver. We are proud of our personnel and their outstanding abilities.
