A seasonal assignment is made when a department requests a vehicle for longer than one month but less than one year. Seasonal requests are filled with vehicles from stock and are dependent on the types of vehicles in stock. Therefore, requests for seasonal assignments should be submitted as soon as the agency becomes aware a vehicle is needed on a seasonal basis. Each selector contains vehicle information and an order form. It is important that care is taken to complete the order form accurately and fully since vehicles are ordered based solely on the truck order forms.
Departments are responsible for orders placed by their employees.
A truck forecaster is sent to each department in June listing assigned trucks estimated to reach the rate group replacement mileage prior to June of the following year. This listing should be used as a guide when replacing trucks. Replacement trucks are ordered using the order form submitted by the department. It is important to insure the form is completed properly as the vehicle will be ordered as the form indicates. Prior to completing the order form, consult the appropriate truck selector for the types of vehicles available.
