What's wrong with this picture?

[1quick]

ive only done drums a few times but i had no idea, and now im sure i put the shoes on wrong

Let's face it. If you're an automotive mechanic then you're not making "big bucks". At least not while working a normal 40 hour work week.

I make a pretty damn good living, but I'm not book. I'm hourly and don't just wrench, I plow and do general shit around the buildings. Average week is 45-50 hours.

Side jobs is were the good money is at! 55/hr all In my pocket!

Dat all you charge??? Pff



Not automotive and not book hour, I make good money

Not automotive

What are you, then?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Diesel. Mostly pick up trucks and some medium duty. Non union, non dealer also

That's basically automotive. It's not that different by any means, unless you are working on something in the scale of ships and immense powerplants. Definitely not a jet mechanic or something of the sort when it comes to pay scale.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Only automotive guys I know that make more than me work at union dealers and book over 50 hrs a week... the mom and pop shops that are similar to us, the guys seem to only make ~$50k at top rate...

Now of course your definition of good money may differ from mine, but I know what tim makes and visa versa and he's definition is spot on with mine

 

[syP]

Three of my guys make over 115k/yr only work 40/wk

 

[DEEZUZ]

Now that's great money... union?

He's a typical diesel dude. He doesn't associate with automotive because he's diesel.

Fuckin Alux

And I am sure that some janitors clear over $80k/yr in certain parts of the country, but that's obviously not anywhere near typical for the profession.

Right, was he referring to his techs or other writers

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

with the modern 100k throwaway cars....i dont see the future for techs being too bright outside of the niche's

 

[syP]

was referring to my techs. only 1 writer makes over 100k/yr

 

[DEEZUZ]

At first

But now

Yup, I make my own hours though. But like I said, I like doing side jobs, cash money 55/hr. 2 - 4 a month brings in alot of extra fuck you money a month. My old lady makes DICK to me.

Ya don't say?

BTW disc's are becoming pretty popular on class 7 and 8!

It was solved, sorta. Tinfoil had a good guess. There was two of the same shoes on.

There were two trailings when there should be a lead and a trailing.

Don't know what 7 & 8 refer too, but have they developed a pneumatic system that can operate disc brakes on the trailer?

No trailers yet. Only tractors. And it's front axle.

 

[Donnie]

It's not Disc?

Two right shoes? You didn't replace the wheel cylinder? Idk, I fucking despise servicing drum setups. Pays the same as disc, but takes longer, results in more bruised knuckles and is dirtier. Fuck that noise.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Hence #n#####work


And disc doesn't belong on class 8... they tried it years ago, isn't anywhere nearly as effective as drums are..
