Mechanics of trucks for new.

You were making enough for the cup and sauce. Now, you can afford the shrimp to put in it!

 

It is good to know basic fixes to get you off the side of the road and to a nearby shop. Most stuff that is going to break while driving can most likely be temporarily fixed so u are not stranded. But this means carrying basic tools and parts to fix stuff. Which most drivers dont bother to do that. So they sit on the road for hours upon hours waiting for a road call.

 

If you can change your own oil, you are ahead of alot of people. Quite a few dont even know how to open the hood of their car.

 

I think your goal should be that after you gain experience get on with a company that will pay you for all you do..including breaking down.

 

Are you near Phoenix or Tucson? The reason I ask is because both cities have excellent cdl schools.

The state of Arizona will pay for cdl school, free to you, through the WIOA Program/Arizona.

If you do a private school, you'll have a dozen or so companies to choose from.
