Well so far I LOVE the trade(considering im only 16 and getting my ITA numer in the next week or so)
We work on alot of Internationals, K/W and trailers from DHL.

Cornbinders, beatercars and kenworthless. I shouldnt say much, were a Mack/Volvo dealer. Its a good trade, I started straight out of school and got my ticket at 22. How busy are you guys lately?

Id say failrly busy were just down the road from the DHL yard and they got a ton of trailers for us(MVI and alot of them fail on the S-Cam bushings) we also have alot fleets that come to are shop so both the night and day shifts stay busy. What about you guys?

It comes in waves, were basically owned by Bandstra Transport so we get all there service work, plus the dealer traffic but it will be busy for two days then the light switch turns off and you could shoot a cannon through the shop.

Licensed auto mechanic, but have not plied the trade for several years. I did about eight years full time after high shcool including my appenticeship. Worked another few years part time and did lots of work at home for several years.

Now I don't even work on my own vehicles, they're new enough that they get dealership service. I do lots of tinkering and maintenance on my motorcycles though.
