How do these truck co's treat their mechcanics

Hi everybody I'm new to the forum. Works tough here in Commiefornia and I've had enough of the statist politics here and thinking of relocating to a free state. In my early teens I worked as a auto mechanic, late teens worked in offshore oil research, offshore oil supply boats on the west coast before the drilling moratorium then got into the film biz for the last 25 30 yrs..
With all the big rigs in the oil patch are there enough mechanics to service all these rigs and how is the money and are they as transient as you all are in the trucking biz. One thing I'll say about myself I.m no master mechanic but I can take directions from a lead mech. and not destroy and break things. I still have all my tools and own rollaway tool box.
I would not mind getting my CDL while working on your rigs in the process.
Would love to here your thoughts.
Thanx Mark

 

I'm paper trained and I don't bite. There's views but no posts, ya'll got to be friends with your mechanics at the yards don't they keep you moving and making $.

 

How many mechanics are usually retained to maintain a a fleet of trucks. With all the experience on this forum you all can put the ratio together to the size of the fleet. I'm trying to gauge the demand for a wrench in Tex, Ok., Co., NM., maybe WY. oil patch areas.

Thanx in advance.

 

Sorry to here that. Definitely sounds like there's no Nascar team work so far. I would think it would be better since you folks almost run like offroad race machines from all threads i've read and the conditions your trucks are subjected too.
Still would like to here more from others. I'm just a guy who wants out of California bad.

May your pay stubs have double digits in front of the coma.
Have wrench will travel. Mark

I worked on Star Ship Troopers in Casper WY in 1996, Good town good people. Hells half acre dust pit was another story. LOL Even got a speeder between there and casper on the way to the hotel.
