Ace Service Center, Inc.
Jim Miller, fleet operations director of Ace Service Center, Inc., a division of School House Companies, recommends a good oil analysis program and modern maintenance software to save time and money.
About 20 years ago, School House Companies started as a swimming pool company in what was originally a one‐room schoolhouse. When the tankers that were brought in to fill pools experienced slow periods during the off‐season, the team decided to use them to haul freight. This approach proved to be more than just a lucrative side job, but led to the creation of Ace Service Center, Inc., one of seven divisions of School House Companies. Fleet Operations Director Jim Miller attributes this success to the fact that his team can manage any heavy‐duty maintenance need from bulldozers and tractor‐trailers to golf carts while saving time and money. He said he accomplishes this by addressing the maintenance requirements of his fleet before they result in major problems; he calls this approach “predictive maintenance.”
