    I don't know where you live but if you do a lot of loading & unloading & driving ,you sound like a perfect food service driver. Make way more money and benefits

    I have done all that and not on the shop but on the road as well change the innerseal, breaks, bought my tools and carry them in the truck to demount/mount tires, a buffer to fix them and patches, 3/4 impact airgun and a 20 t. jack, tire compound soap etc, the hoses were from the auto part store, so I blew up a bunch a them, now I got the good stuff from the trucking store, so far so good. not a big deal its simple and easy to fix a big rig on the road having the tools, even though I don't know much about it. but I find my way around it when I blew up the inside dual and rip off the airbag then I pinch the hose with a vise grip so it wont leek and get going. I live in the north part of California so in the winter I got stuck quiet often in the snow and the diesel gells up. Over all I see it as good practice and there is many tricks that all ready know.:biggrin_25514:
