2. Any time there is an issue with an entry ramp, you should inform a supervisor.

Explanation

Informing a supervisor about any issue with an entry ramp is important because supervisors are responsible for ensuring the safety and functionality of the premises.

3. Operations staff members are held to a higher standard than drivers and should always set a good example regardless of whether or not they are on-duty.

Explanation

Operations staff members are held to a higher standard because they are responsible for managing and overseeing the operations of a company or organization. They have a greater level of authority and are expected to lead by example. Even when they are off-duty, their actions can still reflect on the organization they work for. Therefore, it is important for operations staff members to always set a good example, regardless of their on-duty or off-duty status.

4. The fire extinguisher needs to be ______ rated.

Explanation

The fire extinguisher needs to be ABC rated because ABC refers to the type of fires it can effectively extinguish. ABC rated fire extinguishers are capable of putting out fires caused by ordinary combustible materials (such as wood or paper), flammable liquids (such as gasoline or oil), and electrical equipment (such as appliances or wiring). This rating ensures that the fire extinguisher is versatile and can be used in various emergency situations.

Submit
5. A driver calls you on dispatch saying the ramp isn't working properly. Should you instruct the driver to get other passengers to help them lift and/or drag a wheelchair so that the passenger can be accommodated?

Explanation

Instructing the driver to get other passengers to help lift and/or drag a wheelchair is not a suitable solution. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure the safety and comfort of the passengers. Instructing passengers to lift and/or drag a wheelchair can be risky and may cause harm to the passengers or damage to the wheelchair. Instead, the driver should follow proper protocols and procedures to address the issue with the ramp and ensure that the passenger is accommodated safely.

Explanation

During the STATIC brake test, a bus should not drop more than 2 PSI.

Explanation

During the governor cut-out test, the governor is responsible for regulating the air pressure supplied to the brakes.

Therefore, a PSI of 145 is not acceptable for the front and rear brakes during the governor cut-out test.

Additionally, it states that the rear tires can be retread, which means that worn-out treads can be replaced to extend the tire's lifespan. Lastly, it mentions that mudflaps are required for the rear tires, indicating that these tires should have mudflaps installed to prevent mud and debris from being thrown onto other vehicles.

Submit
19. How often do we hold operations staff meetings during the academic year?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Every 2 weeks" because holding operations staff meetings on a weekly basis might be too frequent and time-consuming, while having them once a quarter might not provide enough opportunity for timely updates and discussions. Therefore, scheduling meetings every 2 weeks strikes a balance between regular communication and efficient use of time.

Explanation

In order to perform the governor cut-in test, the air system should be fully charged. This means that the air pressure in the system should be at its maximum level, ensuring that there is enough pressure to operate the governor effectively. If the air system is not fully charged, it may not provide sufficient power to the governor, leading to inaccurate test results. Therefore, having a fully charged air system is crucial for conducting a successful governor cut-in test.

22. An Anteater Express driver is involved in an accident and reports to you on dispatch that the other party involved is yelling at them. Which of the following things are acceptable for you to tell our driver to do?

Explanation

The correct answer is to ask people if they are injured and to lock themselves in the bus and wait for police and/or a supervisor to arrive. This is because the driver's priority should be the safety and well-being of the passengers. Asking if anyone is injured shows concern and empathy, while locking themselves in the bus ensures their own safety and prevents any further altercation with the other driver. Waiting for the authorities or a supervisor to arrive ensures that the situation can be properly assessed and managed. Yelling back at the other driver or apologizing for causing the accident may escalate the situation and is not a recommended course of action.

Submit

Therefore, the first priority should be to have them stop right away to prevent any potential accidents or injuries. Additionally, it is important to notify a supervisor immediately so that they can take appropriate action and ensure the safety of the passengers and the vehicle. Finally, when it is safe to do so, the driver should make an announcement to update the passengers on the situation, keeping them informed and ensuring their cooperation.
