Congratulations! What a coincidence that I left the dealership life to fleet service a few months before you. Best decision ever career wise! I'm glad your advancing and enjoying what you do. I feel fleet service renewed my love for the mechanic field in seeing the fruits of my labor first hand, when I help a driver get up and running. I hope the young guys see there are other sectors in the automotive field to make a living in.

Thanks I am so glad I looked beyond just working at the dealer, I was getting pretty fed up with it and only did it for 10 years.

Once you get some good experience get out of there man! Better jobs for mechanics are out there.

Check your local government agency's. Usually there is a site that has all local government jobs and you can pick mechanic jobs. When they open up, you get alerted and just upload your credentials and resume. Government mechanic jobs usually pay better, have a pension, and have government perks. Best wishes.

Congrats bro, I was on second shift when I first switched to the heavy truck side for 2.5 years. I actually liked it until having a kid, was fortunate to finally switch to days. Good luck in your new position 🤙🏻

Congratulations on the achievement dude. I'm old and i just got back into automotive service and repair. I'm a T-TEN drop out. I left to drive trucks. Now im on week 3 as lead tech at a pepboys. I did 3 years at Lexus. Everything is exactly the same. Same BS just what you make of it. TF's 1234yf? Lol not as fun as i remember. Real cut throat and back stabby. Wish you the all best, dude. I hope to get my car to AVS soon.

Congrats! funny to see your transition in the heavy duty diesel side, bringing back memories good and bad 😅 I was a 2nd year auto apprentice and then left to go pump diesel fuel for more money, moved up quick as us auto guys typically do. I hated the road and mobile work myself, if you actually enjoy it you will never be out of a job that is for sure. As you have found the only way out of shift work is a lot of time in or more responsibility, definitely hit them up for more money frequently, you will be a crusty old dude with a shot back and knees doing annual inspections on the ground soon enough lol Now that I am licensed I desperately wish I stuck it out and got my auto as well so I would be dual licensed, much more options and puts you at the top of the list for a lot of places, the heavy diesel fleet is a young mans game, unless you can find a chill shop with lifts, haven't found that shop yet and if it exists there's probably a catch... Good luck and be safe, stay rested and keep all eyes open when on the road, had many close calls myself, scared the hell out of my family, tell the driver to be useful and watch your 6.

The real question is what’s the pay?
@silasf94 Ай бұрын
How much they pay hourly for a 2 year mechanic there and also in the position you are now ?
@LetsDriftMedia Ай бұрын
Depends on your job position there entry level mechanics are around $50 an hour, Bumper to bumper mechanics are at $61, I am not at $62 an hour as a sub foreman. Pay is based off your job title more than how many years you put in.
