    I originally was a light duty technician at a independent shop I went to community college too then I got my CDL and got on with a municipality as a fleet mechanic but I did thought of driving trucks but I wanted to work on them so I stayed with the fleet department for a city municipality because it’s stable decent pay and actually has a decent retirement.

    I’m 40 and decided to turn wrenches 3.5 years ago. At first I thought I made a bad choice. It had been 15 since I really was turning wrenches at all. My first teacher was terrible. My second teacher was AMAZING!! Like you said, show up with some knowledge and a great work ethic and a want to learn and skys the limit with the right teacher!

    Well neighbor, nice video. Very nice to see you and your family. Still very happy for you guys. I’m still struggling here at Schneider SFI.. seems I have nothing but bad weeks since my Covid… I still pound it out every week… just luck is not with me.. every time I have a great week booked out, bad luck shuts it down… take this week. Over $5200 for 4 days work, and now it’s looking like a rush or not possible.. not because of me.. you know and everyone else trucking knows…

    Great job for the Family and support each other because the strongly u keep the efforts then will pay off for both of u . I like the channel and I am also getting into the mechanics turn wrench since I was kid. But I also like to explore the ownership of truck operations and fix my self the problem / because. The challenge and I will try to push my wife to the broker revenue cause. I think that is the place I want her to take if she wants help me . Rental trailers its also part of my goal cause not manny truckers have chance to start with truck and trailers so lease that equipment its more. Proficiency then to have driver ont semi not carrying for the equipment and constant maintenance its required on truck not much in trailers.
