Hello, I'm Chris from Sudbury, Ontario. Last year i decided i would attain my A license, already have my z endorsement from when i took heavy equipment mechanics in school.
Work in the mines up here as a mechanic but back in July we ended up on strike. Worked the summer in construction. Decided recently i'm going to take a training course since i have lots of time. I will start Feb 16.
Since I know everyone likes pictures heres a couple of my pickup truck.
2006 Chev K-3500 Single Rear Wheel. Duramax, allison. A few mods which put 532hp and 1055ft lbs of torque to the rear wheels on a dyno this past spring.
Has run a 12.92 in the quarter mile.
Current plans are to get my foot in the door doing some driving, have a buddy who runs in ontario and is willing to give me some seat time. Have always had a thing for the trucking industry but never did get into yet and think this could be the opportunity i needed.
I'm a newbie here.
