Free market has a way of correcting itself every time .
One day it seems like a good idea to let the Dealer handle all the work .
Until ya see the invoices coming in and freight rates have stayed flat .
At that point the business owner will do a quick 180 turn & hire some mechanics .
What I have noticed in the agricultural world is farmers building big shops and letting the dealer handle dealer issues like parts & warrantee work .
Every thing else gets taken care of in house .
One other point … Free Market we are all replaceable .
Feller has to make the decision at the time what's best for them .
Yeah but, farmers are b!tchin about right to repair. They're losing ground every year.
Unless it's a Deere, lol.Let the dealer handle the dealer issues .
Everything else stays " In house " .
What? d.d.Content removed .

its hard for me under standing why anyone wants to be a mechanic.
I could understand downing a machine if its built like a fishbowl in the summer sun. If you're gonna down a highway vehicle with operational windows because the air don't work, well you're some kinda pu$$y.I have had alot of AC work this week on company and farm trucks. Some truck cabs cant be used to store ice cream but most drivers dont under stand this. I had to pickup some parts on the way to work and when i drove on the lot at 8:30 a truck was running it was still running at noon. After lunch it was shut off i guess it was running so if the driver had to make a delivery he would have the engine warmed up and the cab cooled off. This cant be good on the AC. It wasnt good on my blood presser but i dont pay for the fuel or repairs.The future of the company now rest on my shoulders they have 2 flaibed trucks one i am replaceing a leaky condencer the other isnt all that cool. I had to make a sevice call one time a trucks AC wasnt working and couldnt be drove back to the shop but i some how made it to the truck and back in a pickup with the windows rolled down 9 miles away.
My God! I have no words. And this kid is being trusted with "LIFE BOATS" God help us, we're doomed!My old company had the contract to service the Navy's LIFE BOATS.. They go in storage "improperly" then wont start when taken outa mothballs..
They send a tech that doesn't know a socket from a wrench down there to do the job..
ANYBODY with any experience can get 4 running in a day.. that was the "standard"..
About 3pm he calls back to the shop to ask one of the fuel shop guys to come give him a hand..
There was 1 guy close by so when he got done w/ his job, he shot right over..
1st thing ya check is> does it have fuel.??
The guy loosens the bleed screws on the 15 filters they have on the boat & starts pumping away on the hand primer..
NO FUEL.. He turns to the 1st guy & says, THERES NO FUEL in the boat.!!!
The 1st guy turns to him & says, "I know, they pumped it out afew hours ago"..
The 2nd guy just shakes his head after a few CHOICE WORDS & walks off..
NOW THATS how u drive a company into the ground.!!
The 1st guy spent 8-9hrs working on ONE boat that had NO FUEL in it & HE KNEW IT.!!!
