Hello, I hope you are well. I saw your KZbin channel. Your channel and video content are very good. But here are some problems: 1. KZbin video SEO score is very low. 2. Not title - description - tag are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your KZbin channel is a lot of trouble As a result views, likes and subscribers are not increasing. So, Just need to customize Your channel. Thank you.

Hi there, I was analyzing your channel. Your video content is really amazing. But video title, tag and description are not SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly. Your SEO score is very poor.

If you want I can help you reach your KZbin videos to target audience which will help grow your KZbin channel organically grow subscribers and viewers. thank you

Agree %100 with you on flat rate. I worked under a flat rate system for about firsr 9yrs of my career. Grant you I averaged %80 to %110 efficiency depending on available work but the guys who were banging out %150 to %200 efficiency numbers were absolute crooks who cut corners and screwed customers, which managers purposefully turned a blind eye to. It is absolutely a system that is for the shop not the tech. The past 9yrs however i have worked hourly for a big truck fleet and its been much better. I think the pay ranges vary widely though foe fleet guys. Other factors such as ability and how badly a fleet needs their problems to go away are huge. Your probably right for the big corporate fleets that cycle trucks more often. But for the smaller but "successful" fleets (25 -50) trucks ...... There's money to be had. Their more apt to fix things cause they keep then longer.

You 💅 nail 💅 right on 😅😅😅😢

This channel is golden

Automotive and big truck Employers never value their employees they just spin lie after lie 😂then kick you to the curb when you wear out your body and soul ..yea spend thousands of your earnings on tools to keep the shop running smoothly then when you need 2 knee replacements shitty health insurance won't pay ...now your in real trouble your 50 can't walk stand etc no one will hire you not even a burger stand😅

Enjoying the videos! Hope you hit the 1,000 subscribers soon 👍🏻

woah dude really appreciate what you're doing here, thank you so much. After 15 years in automotive about the make the move over to diesel in a couple of months working for a ag dealer. 10k pay bump and loads of training fresh in the door, can't wait. So true what you say about automotive, even listening to you I realised that I was the person in the shop not supposed to make any money most of my career, so true. Hope you keep making videos dude.

Your one of the most intelligent mechanics I ever listened to!!!!!! Peace to you thanks!!!

Public Transit Authorities probably pay the most when you factor in medical, dental and pension.

Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸

Which books? Do you have specific recommendations?

Flat rate is fine and has to work out to 500.00 per hour for the tech. Why, because they are like athletes and wore out by the time they are 45.

Studying this video today!! In peace!!

Glad I found your channel great teachings!!

Nice video, :) my goal in the future is to open up my own shop because I was put through the ringer during my time in automotive. 3 years of automotive experience, Honda certified, worked overtime etc. Got offered a position for a manufacturing mechanic. A/C and heated warehouse, excellent benefits, 3 weeks off per year. And the cherry on top, they OFFERED me more money than any shop, no negotiating or ball breaking at all.

EPG remote is top of your list. Electrical Power Generation...go into that if you want to make money.

What are all your diesel certificates on your wall or in total that you have?

There will be jobs in automotive but all issues will be intermittent false reporting due to high speed communication.

Esg is an understatement with parts. Black Rock will see a lower esg score if a manufacturer supports an older vehicle. Hence the companies no longer support the old stuff or they lose funding in the future whether they make money or not.

Great video

Good advice! Do you have a video on your diagnostic thought process? I was in the automotive transmission rebuild arena for 28 years. I would never hire a potential builder until he explained his diagnostic process/strategy. If they didn't have one I passed on possibly hiring them assuming they applied as an experienced rebuilder. Keep up the great content!

Get the diesel certs. Get your CDL. Apply for jobs everyday. Specifically, diesel/18 wheeler/heavy equipment. Same sweat/grime/toil as consumer auto report. Except far less drama. Your paycheck will be consistent. Consumer Auto repair usually exploits honest mechanics.

Your view of Flat rate vs hourly is skewed because you are in the heavy diesel field. There is almost zero flat-rate in that field. You say an hourly guy has to have a certain efficiency rating. Where does this number come from? Who decides how long a job should take? With flat rate, the book sets the time. A 5 hour job in SC is a 5 hour labor time job in California if using reputable labor guide. Around 15 minute mark you mention basically whether the tech has ethics. Educate yourself to KNOW how to perform a quality repair. The pay plan has nothing to do with that. Either you are honest or a crook. Having said all the above, I prefer a salary. Last @ $1200 week for 40ish hours. While I was fully capable of doing bumper-to-bumper repair, frequently ended up being the diag guy. I like doing that work tho. Retired Mar 2020.

I'm not a mechanic, but the authority with which you speak is inspiring.

Good points but, in my town the price of goods and services have doubbled in the last year and labor rates in this town have also doubbled. A 3% cost of living increase doesnt get it increased or stable productivity wages need to reflect the economy otherwise how long will it be before we are working for a minuimum wage with all their min wage increases that keep happening

So excited for the training. I've never even been in the same room as an "electrical specialist". As someone who has been tearing apart radios and computers since I was 10 years old I pray the future is bright for me.

This whole video is directly applicable to my current situation. I just left the automotive world after working on, domestic, euro, JDM, and other imports. I got my foot in the door as a fleet service technician for the largest transportation company in SWFL. Unfortunately a corporate exec with no understanding of mechanics had an issue with me taking the time to inspect the vehicles and do my job correctly. This Monday I am walking into the Kenworth dealership and dropping off my resume with the hope that they’ll hire me and allow me to learn these systems in a way that my previous job would’ve never allowed. Great advice as always man 🖤

I think I just transcribed this whole video in my notebook lol. AMAZING INFO

Displaying gratitude tells a lot about your character. This is rarely seen anymore. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Would love to see a video of your story. How did you get where you are? You have an immense amount of knowledge and apparently experience. Love your channel Joseph! My middle name is Joseph. How ironic.

The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their correct name.

Great content! Subscribed! Where is your shop?

The difference between commercial diesel and automotive is you have a million dollar piece of equipment holding up a 50 million dollar job the customer has no problen writing a check. On the other end of the spectrum the jack a$$ with the second hand sports car with worn out brakes cant understsnd why it costs so much to fix his car worn out by the previous owner who couldnt afford to maintain his car because of the payments. Just my take on the auto repair buisness maybe tbe government should hand out auto repair stamps so they wont complain about the cost of repairs

I got hired 2 months ago as a fleet mechanic for the largest personal transportation in SWFL. I got hired at $27/hr, base pay for my position is $25. Before this job I had no formal experience in HDD but 3.5 years in auto. Mostly European/Domestic/JDM

I just finished up the other week learning how a flooded battery works and the chemical reactions that create electricity. Honestly one of the most interesting things I’ve learned in awhile. Conceptual theory to learn applied systems >>

I’ll watch for 3 hours lol

Ur.vids help me so much !! Keep doing them thank u so much

Hey man, another awesome video. I am super grateful for all the videos you put out. I was wondering if you could make a video on brake systems both hydraulic and air and how abs/atc and esc play into those systems. I've been getting my ass kicked on the ASE test for this subject. I find your videos help me visualize the theory of the system better than any study guide can. Or if you have some better material or videos to watch I'd be super grateful!

Well said

Mechanics will never get rich working for someone else.

You the man bro

As a 26 year old, green, very hungry diesel technician, I feel very fortunate to have found your channel. I look forward to more informational videos like this. I learned more in this video about diesel fuel systems than I have in 4 years working on trucks/equipment. Thank you.

military generator mechanic here.. Im happy I found your page. I'm a young mechanic who has surpassed the ranks of the olds heads in my shop based off my ethic and productivity. i want to move on from contracting and find my niche. but end all be all I love engines and working with my hands. I'm just burnt out working on the same equipment day by day. thinking about changing my profession. thank you for your videos!

Watching up on this again have an unsolved issue at work

You didn't mention airline A&P mechanics . hey are doing well

thanks for your vids, what is the name of the device that you hook to the multimeter for pressure test
