The duty cycle
How Living Resources puts miles on a vehicle.
A human-services fleet carries people, not parts. Vans run program routes across Albany, Schenectady and Saratoga counties, make medical and day-program trips, and see many different drivers. Brakes, tires, lights, seat belts, restraints, heat and defrost are safety items first.
Budgets are grant- and contract-funded, with little room for surprises. The agency needs predictable per-vehicle costs, audit-ready documentation for funders, and vans that pass NYS inspection the first time. A van off the road is a stranded participant.
What the program does
Built around that duty cycle, not a calendar.
Preventive maintenance runs as a safety inspection with service attached: brakes measured in millimeters, tires in 32nds, lamps, belts, mirrors, wipers and defrosters checked and photographed. Accessible vans are scheduled around lift and restraint service so one visit covers everything.
New York State inspections are tracked by unit and batched by expiration month, so no van is sidelined by a lapsed sticker. Work is quoted in writing against the account’s pre-approval limits; anything above them waits for a purchase order.
Billing follows the agency’s process: purchase orders, consolidated monthly statements by vehicle, and per-unit histories that export cleanly for audits, funders and replacement planning. Units are staged so program schedules keep running while the fleet cycles through the shop.
Pickup and delivery is included for accounts with ten or more vehicles: we collect units from the yard or route start and return them finished, within about 20 miles of the shop.
Questions fleet managers in this trade ask
Do you maintain vehicles for non-profit and human-services agencies?
Yes — fleet accounts at Fogg’s include Living Resources, a Capital Region non-profit supporting people with disabilities. Passenger-carrying agency fleets get a safety-first preventive program, batched New York State inspections, and billing that fits purchase orders and grant reporting.
Can you work with purchase orders and grant-funded budgets?
Yes. Work is quoted in writing against pre-approval limits set with the agency, anything above them waits for a PO, and the account is billed on a consolidated monthly statement with per-vehicle lines and exportable histories for auditors and funders.
Do you service wheelchair-accessible vans?
We maintain and repair the vehicle — brakes, suspension, tires, electrical, inspections — on accessible vans and minibuses, and schedule around the agency’s lift and restraint equipment service so one visit covers both. Ask the fleet desk about coordinating equipment checks with your lift vendor.
