Did a quick search and couldn't find any previous post so here it is:
I finally landed a position as HD mechanic apprentice, was wondering if you seasoned and not so seasoned vets out there had some tips on the trade? Working in cold weather? Making my journeyman's life easier? Things you wish you would have known back when you started?
I've been working in the mining industry the past few years so I have a good idea on safety and the basics like showing up early, ready to work, etc. Looking more for info on the wrenching life.
The apprenticeship is with Finning/Thingbig and I'll be going to a few dealerships throughout western Canada.
On a semi related topic, I'm thinking of buying a travel trailer to live in for a while since I'll be relocating more or less every 2 months. I've seen HEO and others have done this. How is it? Anyone done through the Canadian winters?
Thank you
