[QUOTE="Gear, post: 2283595, member: 60511"] Most Heavy diesel dealers will start a decent mechanic at $25, with decent benefits, that you pay for, and of course a crappy 401k. I do side work on dump trucks, roll offs and garbage trucks for cash. I tend to flat rate jobs. The faster I get it done, the more money in my pocket. The bigger the vehicle the more money you can make. Not alot of money in normal cars. Its nothing to drop $2000 in a triaxle. I can make a weeks pay on a Saturday. Some mechs get fixed on one type of vehicle and end up cheating themselves. Plus heavy diesel dealers can be union, Ive never seen a union car shop. The only guys I know making under 22 an hour are newbies out of tech school. But this is just my experience around me. Here's a fun fact. The CIA is hiring auto mechanics starting at 35 and some change an hour. Dont believe me? Its on their site under trades and labor. [/QUOTE]
