We have another great line-up this year. We have both trainers (Gary May and Mike O'Neil) back from Spartan Chassis, Dan Cleveland from Stewart Stevenson, and Jordan Rautiola from Smart Power Generators. Gary and Dan will be teaching prep classes for EVT testing. Here is the line-up;
Tuesday all day
F1 Inspection. This class will cover the inspection of the cab and chassis as outlined in NFPA 1911. Gary May will be teaching this class. I have not sat in on this class but if it's like Gary's DOT inspection class it will be great.
Apparatus Electrical Theory. Amps, Ohms, Volts, electrical principles and meter functions- "Bring your volt meter". Mike O'Neil will be teaching this class. Last year was the first time I sat in one of Mike's classes. It was unbelievable. Mike had you doing hands-on, figuring out voltage drops, and keeping the class interesting.
Allison Transmissions. Class will cover MT and World transmissions. It will have many useful maintenance tips that you will be able to take home and use. F6 test material will be covered. Dan Cleveland will be teaching this class. I have been around Allison transmissions for almost 40 years and I was amazed at what I learned in Dan's class.
