[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2222985, member: 52145"] i noticed that too over the years. most of the mechanics UPS hired had experience but only in autos. they would start in trailers. they told me it was trial by fire and they would just learn as they went along. once i showed a new guy how to make a short airline/gladhand for me to carry as a spare to replace on rear of trailer if i had to replace in field. he turned out to one of the best mechanics at the shop. after a couple years they could move over to power depending on retirees. i know very little so i didn't know if they were good or not. the shop crew always helped each other out of jams and seemed to have a lot of comraderie . i envied that.
