Yup.Still is.
I know you love you some VT365.
Actually I would argue that it is a very reliable spreader of pollution. Just not a very reliable package/people mover.I wouldn't even classify that as an engine. More like an unreliable spreader of pollution.
thats awsome information i really appreciate.. it seems like they try to make the job seem worse to see if your willing to do the work load and not just get a union job for gravy work. which i am not looking to do i am a working man who is good at the mechanic field and im just trying to find a good job to help me provide for my family. in the best way possibleThere are 2 mini centers in my district. Each one has 1 mechanic each. First off they don't do any big jobs that they shouldn't do by themselves. those jobs get sent out, like transmissions, rear springs and hangers front axles also. Secondly there is overtime don't let anybody tell you different yes they might cut it back but mechanics in out lying centers do get it. My 2 guys love it nobody watching them for 8 hours and they get to work all the double time holidays with no seniority issues and pretty much run the show. Also as far as asking questions just call the major hub your out lying center is related to and those guys there would be glad to help. Or just post a thread on here there's enough of us here to help. Good Luck!
yah that would be a good idea. im not used to haveing any kind of lift to work with so i have always learned how to mcguyver with jacks and stands. i am not hired yet and dont really know if i will be hired but i was reading into the contract a little and see that there is now a 4 year progrssion rate. what are some of the other things that have changed.Where I'm at, the extended centers get all the new trucks and rotate their stock with the larger center/hubs. There's a lot of transfers from the outer centers for the more time consuming jobs...oh and btw, there's no lifts in our building. Get used to jackstands, creepers, and cranking the steering wheel all the way to one end and settling down between the tire and the firewall to do jobs around the steering column and tires. But if there's anything you don't know, you'll have access to a phone to call other centers in the area to get info. Maybe you fellers can start a thread in the partners forum to share the ****e sandwich.
