I do mobile repair on buses, school buses and crew transports for industrial use... most are like this at work... A lot of the buses we work on are short buses. The jokes practically write themselves...

[@Terry_Baker]

​@@TekamoHD how about putting some quality work gloves on the Fortis site

[@TekamoHD]

what type of work gloves do you like Terry?

[@Terry_Baker]

@@TekamoHD just a good quality mechanics glove. Something that can take abuse from diesel fuel and DEF fluid ,but is of breathable material . I usually wear Grease Monkey brand gloves , but they don't breathe well in the heat for areas like where I work in South Carolina. We hit at least high 90's with 100% humidity in the summer months

Go find a service truck somewhere and ask the guy

[@easypeasy5219]

​@@tuneunleashed your local tech school has a diesel mechanic program. If not start in automotive and work your way to trucks.

[@maxsamu3507]

The forbidden track shovel i bet some operators haven’t seen that in years😂😂😂

[@jdpaxton9293]

Couldn’t agree more on packing a lot of water out there while I’m not in Canada, I spend every one of my work days on a pipeline right of way in backwoods West Virginia. there’s nothing worse than being stuck on top of a ridge on a big job with a hour or more drive to anything and not having water!

[@joshuapaul349]

Can we see a "Day in the life of a Vermeer mechanic" to see why it takes 3-6 weeks to fix.

Hahahaha we appreciate you boss 🫡

[@mh-qq2hj]

I’ve been a mobile mechanic for the past 23 years, working on power line utility equipment. I would quit before I would go work in a shop. Sometimes the weather sucks but it’s way more entertaining and challenging to fix stuff with not much more than tools.

[@juleso9]

He'd get along well with the millwrights in the mines for sure. Safety comes first right after production

[@zburkst2928]

that torque multiplier air gun is so badass

17:20 “I’m no welder, but I can make it stick” one of my favorite sayings 😂😂

Seeing these reminds me of my dad! He’s a heavy duty mechanic😊

[@matthewcohen3521]

This guy talks EXACTLY like I do. Bitches about the operator the same way, talks to the machine the same way, it HAS to be a heavy equipment mechanic thing. 😂

[@AlexPeace246]

16:08 “I’m gonna go pretend to be a welder now.” Basically me whenever I’m doing pre-fab at the shop 😂

[@danoakes8680]

Love the job you are doing. To be able to improvise on the spot is a testament to a good field mechanic. Worked in field service many years with Finning. Thanks for the memories. The old school guy.

[@florinacioflorin7097]

Simply brilliant. We need more episodes like this!! Love the effort put into this!

[@blankblank9117]

Need to start doing like the pipelines do. Make you a little grill on the back of the truck. Start the coals and season the steak then work until she's ready to go. Takes 2-3min a side. Better than a granola bar any day

Bring a microwave and throw in some crave bowls off the inverter.

@@TekamoHD thank you my respect to the you and all the mechanics on the show 👍👍

[@neithertwosturrr3016]

You'd be surprised how many are like this tbh. It's more of an issue with 1. Being comfortable on camera and your family being comfortable with that and 2. Alot of companies/properties won't let you film so guys that have reoccurring customers that they are on call for just aren't suited for the role.

[@chrisparker1267]

that scenery is insane.

14:45 brings back good memories. Used to work heavy equipment maintenance in a stripmine, and a coworker used to pull this joke out from time to time.

[@mattwallace8720]

Love this guy, great mechanic! Great sense of humor too😂 🌲🚜🛠️

[@jamesmeredith381]

These mechanics are worth every penny they charge because downtime costs money and could cost you the contract! Due to health problems I can't do the mechanics job, but I do camp watch for my cousin who owns a logging company and because of my former job he will get me to watch the mechanics that he flies into camp to do repairs while shut down unless he has a full-time hired mechanic! And the twisted sense of humor is mandatory for the job! Peace, Love and Respect

Where were the cordless tools when I was doing this in the 80's and 90's? Always dragging cords and air hoses around. Still loved the work.

[@sm3dqvist654]

The "im gonna pretend im a welder now" is funny because i think every mechanic says so, even us in Sweden. And same for electric stuff.
