Awesome info and inspiring man! PASSION IS A MUST!!! knowing what jobs make money and what jobs to stay away from is smart doesn't mean you have to do all the huge jobs some of the most bread and butter is the smaller preventative maintenance on fleets or simple brake/clutch jobs
Great message. I have done heavy equipment mechanic and automotive for 21 years. I am about to venture on my own just to take on some freedom and also pride and the challenge with each failure presented.
I swear I've been thinking about going from my truck driving to being a mobile lube tech for CMV. Just oil changes, greasing chassis, brake adjustment, grease 5th wheel and very light repairs. I worked for Penske for a bit and I own my own truck so there's no fear factor.
I been passing out my cards and flyers. I’m getting upset right now because my phone not ring yet. Still holding on, and waiting for o/o or a fleet company to call me
That is a great question. They had it listed for 38k with 132kmiles. I talked him down to 27k. The egr cooler had failed, and no one wanted to buy it. After I towed it and made all the repairs, i had about 32k in it.

If it is meant to be, it will happen. Hang in there. It has been slow out there for some of us.
Nice video
