PARTA has countywide contracts to serve the Area Agency on Aging, Board of MRDD, PASS, Coleman Professional Services and the Portage County Department of Jobs & Family Services (formerly DHS).As a hostler, I managed to help fuel and service (clean, check/add fluids and park) approximately 70 buses as well as company vehicles everyday Monday-Friday. PARTA’s hostlers consisted of four individuals including myself. My very first task when I come in to work was to line up the buses at the fuel pumps. After lining the buses up at the fuel pumps, I began fueling them and driving them into the wash bay. In the wash bay we checked fluids (oil, transmission, washer fluid and coolant) and added fluids as needed. We then proceeded to clean the interior and exterior of the buses and parked them in their designated parking spots. Company vehicles were serviced prior to the end of our work shift and sometimes sooner. Show less
