  • The I-Team is uncovering a serious safety concern with local school buses. There have been at least two recent incidents where wheels flew off the buses while driving in Hillsborough County. Investigator Jarrod Holbrook reveals why the problem doesn't stop there.

    Blue Bird buses are usually built with superior quality. Our district gets them regularly because of how high the build quality is. That is shocking to see a quality issue at Blue Bird.

    As a tire changer, I have noticed that the factory is using some sort of lube on the studds (looks and smells like gear oil) to facilitate the notorious struggle of first time removal, however, this also changes the friction (see illustration in ALKITRONIC video), so just be aware that there will be a tendency to over stress, as there is a tendency to under torque a rusty studd due to increased friction.(you will have to find your torque value by comparing angle aganst torque under "clean and dry "conditions), max torque and over torque may cover this but will eventually lead to stretched, distorted threads, broken studds.

    I don't think this is Bluebird's fault. I would feel that more busses would have an issue across the nation. It would not hit just one school district. I would wonder about the possibility of vandalism. I saw that the lug nuts where hand tighten with a torque wrench, Does that mean they could also be loosen by hand too?

    This is why you check the lug and hugnuts to make sure they’re on tight and torqued down during every pre-trip. This should have been caught by the bus drivers.

    been a big school bus driver about 15yrs, a special ed. van driver 2yrs before that & a special ed. van aide 4yrs prior.... a total of 21yrs. in the school bus system & we we're always thought to check lugnuts & tires our selves just to cover our own end regardless of which mech. did what & when or even if brand new from manufacturer to main baseyard that gets delivered to other baseyards... (Cover Your Own Ass) if you find a problem write it in the DVCR maintenance book & make sure the mech. knows about it before taking it out. if you feel unsafe about it bring it up with the mech. & your dispatch/manager to make them aware of it. if they say "oh it's ok to use" without fixing the problem then get it in writing stating what was said about using the vehicle & claim that "you as the driver will not be held reliable or responsible for anything that happens while in use" ... BELIEVE ME I KNOW , I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE. another contributing factor is shared vehicles. everyone drives different.

      Bottom line is the PDI wasn't done, it was faked. No wonder Bluebird is on the verge of going under. You can forget selling anymore buses to Hillsborough assholes !!! They will be buying C2's. What happened was bad enough, but to deny it and try to throw it back on the customer can and will kill your company reputation, which they have little left of anyway.
