Hempstead Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I Have a interview with a indepentent trucking company next week that I have been chatting with back and forth since September about being their fleet tech. I think that they have maybe 10 company drivers and 20 owner/operator's and aproximately 50 trailers and I would oversee all of them. The guy they have know is less than par for their standards. I think that this might be the move I have been waiting for. I have been in the same Ford dealer for 14 years (since highschool) and I am thinking it is time to get out of the dealership scene. Has anyone ever worked at a trucking company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Haven't worked at a trucking company, but can tell you unless your on your game with repairs and pm's fleets suck...Time is everything no excuses, if they aren't running they aren't making money. Don't think I'm putting down the smaller fleets but be prepared for the stress of keeping them running. A lot of smaller companies are better to work for but be ready for a lot of late nights. I'm sorry if I sound like a downer but I sell plenty of parts to small fleets and have the parts/service guys up my ass all the time. Good luck on your interview. I really hope everything works out for you. We all deserve to better ourselves. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rockon.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hempstead Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hopefully the interview goes well. As for the stress I don't think it will be any worse than dealing with Ford warranty, bullshit prior approval or dumbass inspectors that second guess us. Thanks for the insight. I will keep you posted as to what becomes of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You guys should see the PM sheets we get at the diamond mine to do! 9 pages, they give you 4 hours to do it. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post them up here, or I would. Basically it's a state inspection, plus oil change, fuel filters, body inspection, cab inspection, air filter, r&r and clean ebp tube and sensor, as well as several other things. Due every 300 hours.

Hey Aaron, It's time you change your Location, So tell us how far underground is your bay. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Naw, it's above ground. The underground part is real restricted, all we go down there for is to retrieve busted shit. There's two open pit mines, as well as the underground. Almost 12 million carats of diamonds mined there last year. http://www.diavik.ca is the website of the location I was just at.
