Need new muffler DD Series 60

[Pete Masterson]

You're right ... they have a separate BB service facility (at the
front of their property) and the crew doesn't much interface with the
rest of CCW. The only apparent interaction occurs when the "roach
coach" arrives at break time...

I'm also suffering from a service manager who's been on the job here
for about a week... so I don't think he's as fully aware of
opportunities as he should be.

I've found that Dynaflex, located in Commerce, CA, is a manufacturer
of heavy duty mufflers and accessories (Colton Truck Supply lists
them as one of their suppliers) and they have an extensive catalog --
give them the measurements and they have the components. It looks to
me as if CCW could just pull the muffler, measure it up, and order
the necessary pieces from DynaFlex (or through CTS).

I overheard the service manager and he kept asking about "blue bird
mufflers" and getting "no don't have it" ... I think he may have been
going about the process in the wrong way. I plan to discuss this with
him on Monday morning.

(I was offline for several days due to a computer glitch that I
finally solved. Dumb Verizon software was giving me an incorrect
error message that led me astray for awhile. Now that I'm online, I'm
beginning to find a considerable number of potential opportunities.)

I also note that in the BB section waiting room, there is a bus
industry magazine that reproduced a CCW press release discussion how
they converted a bunch of transit busses from ground level to rooftop
exhaust systems. I can't imagine that CCW doesn't have the capability
onsite to bend up some exhaust pipe.... <sigh>

Macy was in Ft Valley this week, and is expected to be "in" on Monday
-- I think I'll have a word or two with him as well...

While the CCW folks have been decent to me, they sure could use a
dump station on their facility...
