Well, today I took my coil buckets and the radius arm brackets off so I could sorta mod them. They’re the stock ones of a superduty. I basically cut them all up so I could use the factory bump stops.
I also had an interview yesterday at a peterbilt dealership to see about an apprenticeship. I think it went well, they want me to come back Thursday and talk to their lead technician.
They asked me if I’ve ever been around drum brakes and I kinda gave them a chuckle. So that’s what started it all. They said they get a lot of guys who come in looking for a job who talk themselves up but then can’t even find a drain plug. I’m quite the opposite and I guess when it comes to interviews I’m a little too reserved, I think that’s what they asked me to come back againLaine, I wrote this before you edited but will leave it haha
Interviewer - “Sir, one of the applicants today was ranting about v-configuration diesels and pre cups
Lead tech - “does he know this is Peterbilt and we work on heavy duty trucks?”
Interviewer - yes he said he used fleetcharge once and their was a tractor trailer on the sticker
Lead tech - “ by gosh most experienced applicant all day, let me speak with him”
Yup, they actually still get quite a few cats at that dealer which is weird considering we’re in California. My buddy works at Volvo and they’re mainly detroits. I think I’d end up working on all of them though. I really hope it works out because I’d love to grow my knowledge. I don’t want to be a mechanic forever but I know it can open a lot of doors.Chances are the peterbilts will have a L9, X15, DD13, or some Paccar pos in it. Hope you get it!
I try to do the same thing too.I’m quite the opposite and I guess when it comes to interviews I’m a little too reserved,
Probably doesn't hurt that even a 460 costs less to drive than a diesel right now I'd imagine that little ranger is pretty decent on fuel economy.it’s an awesome daily
She’s not too bad I get about 16 around town and I fill up with regular so.Probably doesn't hurt that even a 460 costs less to drive than a diesel right now I'd imagine that little ranger is pretty decent on fuel economy.
