My businesses were profitable.I have health problems or I would still have trucks.Im lucky to be alive now,and not real sure if I will last a lot longer.
You jump to conclusions way too fast.I started driving because I made way more money than having a shop.
Im not lying to you,or even trying to make you mad,Im just telling you how it is.If I think you are a crook,Im real sure your customers do.
Nobody is a mechanic all their life usually.Especially a truck mechanic.Thats for younger guys than me.I was an ASE Certified Master Mechanic in the late 1980s.I even still work in a shop occasionally.I know I cant handle it like I did,but I do what I can.I can still outwork some people on a good day.
I agree,everybody should try and have their own business.It wouldnt take them long to see whats going on.The people who do the least,make the most money off of your labor.
I didnt miss turning wrenches at all after I started driving a truck,but I still had to turn wrenches for myself.I still can turn wrenches.
You seem to think I wasnt good at what I did.I was good at what I did.I was tired of working so hard all the time and not getting good pay.Even having my own shop,sometimes my help would make more money than I would after I paid all the bills.Im not going to gouge people to make decent pay.I learned how to drive a truck,did that until I got sick,and thats about it.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame.
