Since the start of 2020, one of my station's mechanics moved to another station, and three more were fired, including the manager. The ones brought in to replace them are absolutely horrible. Before my vacation, I wrote up my truck for hard shifting and making a terrible noise when it went through the gears. The mechanic ignored it on the VIR, and my transmission blew out, leaving me on the side of the road until a tow truck came. After they "fixed" it yesterday, it was making an extremely loud rattling noise and the entire truck would vibrate so bad I could barely control it when going through 3rd gear. I wrote it up again. This morning, he told me that it's fine and that all trucks do that when they get new tires. My manager asked if I thought it was fit to drive, and I said absolutely not, and I was given a rental. The "mechanic" then put the truck back in the shop to do god knows what with it. What are the mechanics like at your stations? We can't keep one for more than a few months, and each new one is worse than the last.
