    New Job!!

    Well its official, I finished signing all of my paperwork to work for our local Peterbilt Dealership. I'm a senior in high school so I'm going to start after schools then be full time in the summer time. It might open up some more scrapping opportunities, we shall see. I haven't been on here very much lately because I'm doing a oil cooler and egr delete for a guy on a 6.0 Powerstroke. Anyway I'm so excited I just thought I'd share my good news with you all.

    Well played Caleb. Always good to have a job you enjoy an like. LEt us know how it goes for you when you do start. An of course keep those eyes open for scrap options! Can't hurt to ask, once your settled in an know if anyone is doing it, or they have a program for such. Pete's are some nice trucks. Long nose, an lit up..fun seeing a pete all tricked out. Guessing you'll be doing mechanic work on them from what it sounds? Good career move, those big trucks always need work, an you'll stay good an busy.

    Wish ya the best of luck, an of course..get some pics once you start so we can all drool over the long nosed Pete that's chromed out, lit up a like a christmas tree. Sure you'll see a few if your doing repairs. Ha ha! You'll have me as a fan at lest of any pictures.

    You should appreciate this one...it's all pete's in teh video!

    Yes I'll be doing mechanic work, I'll spend most of this summer in the oil pit, then work my way up along with going to a tech school next year. Here's some pictures from my last job at a local trucking company. I was supposed to be a mechanic's helper but the owner always pulled me out of the shop to do favorites (mow, weed eat, spray weeds, gopher stuff lol) for him. I can't get my computer to load the pictures, but I'll put them up sometime! Thanks guys!

    Well my first day was yesterday, and I really liked it! Its gonna take a little to get used to working over my head in the pit, but it will be good. My mom can't wait for me to start full time so I can get my uniform and not have to bring home greasy cloths lol
