Search begins for ‘America’s Best’

TULSA, Okla. — School bus technicians and inspectors will compete to be named “America’s Best” here on Sept. 11 and 12.

The America’s Best contest includes a written evaluation and a diagnostics test. Inspectors also perform an actual inspection.

Additionally, the event integrates a variety of workshops covering components and systems on school buses.

The winning technician and inspector will each receive a scholarship, compliments of Bus Parts Warehouse and Zonar Systems, to attend the NAPT Conference & Trade Show in Myrtle Beach, S.C., in October.
