Fleet Maintenance Department

Jordan Davidson

Fleet Superintendent

The Franklin County Engineer’s Fleet Department is responsible for providing, maintaining, and repairing vehicles and equipment for 198 county employees, so they may in turn perform their duties of improving and maintaining the roadways, bridges, and drainage for the constituents of Franklin County.  Services include the acquisition and preparation of new vehicles and equipment for county use, preventative maintenance, major and minor repairs, modification, and disposal of vehicles and other related equipment for 25 Departments within the Engineer’s office.  Fleet provides fuel and services to numerous other governmental entities located in Franklin County.  The Franklin County Fleet garage strives to keep parts and supply level at a minimum through planning, simplification, and standardization to reduce carrying costs by eliminating the expense of housing idle materials and lowering the costs of defective products, wasted space, extra equipment, overtime, warranty repair, and scrap. All equipment and related costs are tracked from purchase to disposal through asset management software and GPS-based telematics. We use this data to gain valuable insight into how our fleet is being utilized, allowing us to proactively manage fleet purchases, fleet size, fleet life cycle, fuel, idling, environmental impact, maintenance, driver behavior, and real-time driver coaching and safety.
