| Burggraaf | 213 | 03/16/2023 | Kevin said that the wipers were working until they stopped for the last 50 miles of his trip when it was raining. We went in the stairwell compartment look for wiring, tried to move the wiper blades manually but nothing would work. Kevin put rain X all over the windshields and kept working on the wipers. Eventually he got them a kick back on, but we will need to take a deep look at this. No rain forecasted for the rest of the weekend. | 0 | No | No | ||
| Moestchen | 162 | 03/16/2023 | Chad called me to let me know that Ernie had lost air in his brakes. It sounded like there was an air leak coming from the rear. Chad already tried to close the purge valve, high, idle, and dropped a suspension to try to build tanks nothing would work. I called Ernie and tried a few more things but nothing would work. We did have a little bit of air in his tank so we tried to take off, but then the tank just dropped more so we stayed. I called a Roadside to come assist and they determined that the governor was leaking. He tried to stop the leak, but it would not stop. He told me he would be back in the morning with the governor. I confirm that the clock would stop running all night and they said yes they would start the clock again when they came back. I asked them to take Ernie to a hotel, and they said they would. I called Ernie but he didn’t want to go to a hotel and decided to stay on the bus he was ok with that. | Empty | 0 | No | Yes | |

| Pilkinton | 261 | 03/07/2023 | Coolant loss and shut down. Mike said he could see the coolant leaking out of a hose. I asked for a picture and he sent it. It looked like the hose slipped off of the pipe. He got tools and loosened the clamp, pushed in the hose and retightened the clamp. We had only 2 gals of coolant on board, so we unplugged the sensor and drove to a fuel station to fill up. Seems like we should be good now. | 2 | No | No | ||

| Ford | 128 | 02/28/2023 | The bus derated at hotel when pulling in for the night so no issues there. It had a red stop engine. Code for poor def quality. We tried to reset but would not come out. I started calling roadsides but there was only 4 within 80 miles. None answered. I called Joe and got him involved so we could try to get a coach heading that way by 5:30 AM to get there for their 1045 departure to the field. We had issues lining anybody up, that late/so early, in the morning with phone calls. Eventually, it got so early in the morning that we had to stop and just regroup later in the a.m.. In the morning I called a few places in town but no one was available. I called the hotel and asked them if they could provide shuttle service. They could not, but they would call to see what they could help us with. They ended up calling the school district and they are going to have a school bus there at 10:45 for the game, Joe has lined up a driver head down with a rescue bus for their departure home. Kyle is chasing the rescue bus in a relay with the laptop, tools and parts. If we cannot get this going, we have a relay to get back with, but I’m pretty sure we can get it home.
