North Carolina Department of Transportation Fleet and Material Management

The Division of Highways / Department of Transportation / Fleet and Material Management Unit / Fleet Support section provides assistance to the fifteen (15) Divisions in insuring that all equipment purchased for field use is serviceable and safe for their forces.

Fleet Support purchases all shop equipment for repair facilities and assists in maintaining the shops. They also assist with warranty problems, equipment failures, proper tire use / repair, proper lube techniques, proper filtering techniques, and any other problems encountered on the equipment.

Fleet Support handles the sale of surplus equipment through State Surplus Property (sealed bids) and disposal of surplus equipment to towns, municipalities, and other non-profit organizations?, thus saving the State large amounts of revenue.

Operator training on new equipment is also handled in this section. Training sessions are set up statewide for technicians and operators of equipment. A major part of Fleet support is the statewide Automated Fuel System?. The Fleet Support area is responsible for installation and maintenance of this system.
