One thing we have done to help with the increased workloads during the summer season is to reserve a half day each week for unexpected items. This four-hour slot can be used for weather delays, unexpected equipment failures and emergencies. If left unused, this window allows our team to clean out their trucks, perform maintenance on their equipment and vehicles or simply leave work at a reasonable time, helping prevent burnout. We have found this unscheduled time creates a less stressful scenario when something comes up and prevents the maintenance crew from cutting corners because they know they have the time to get the job done right.
