Day In The Life Of A Heavy Diesel Mechanic

[@Ceedub3406]

Waking up in time to cook is amazing! I roll out of bed at 5:30 drink as much coffee and tea as a man can handle then show up to work at 5:59 ready to break shit spectacularly

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

That’s the realest shit I’ve read in a comment section In awhile

Nice Video!! I am starting Trade School in May for Diesel and Heavy Equipment Repair, and starting work at an underground hard-rock mine.

This is my dream job after I get out of the Army . I love working with tools , and taking things apart. It's like a stress relief for me .

[@henryriley4345]

Real nice dude thanks for the video! I just started as a tire tech and working my way to a mechanic.

[@nathanmcintyre6389]

Im planning on doing this too. How did it work out for you?

[@amongus6061]

@@nathanmcintyre6389try to get in a dealership as a porter and try to work your way up yes it’ll be a slow tedious process but show them your a hard worker and take it seriously and if that doesn’t work out you’ll have the experience on your resume and it’ll be easier to get into other places the hardest part is just trying to find a way into the industry that’ll actually hire you but once you have that first time experience it’ll be a bit easier getting into places you want

Thx for sharing. Interesting. Different perspective. I enjoyed. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

[@TeooTheFeoo]

Before committing to school check to see if companies offer you school themselves. That’s how I became a diesel tech but you might have to start at a low level lube tech. All worth it imo.

[@ajmalrehmat]

Did mechanics course for cars with college for 3yrs and wanted to work on cars but this year I got an apprenticeship with FedEx as a HGV mechanic. Lots of heavy lifting but it’s good pay. Hoping to stay with them for a few years then leaving once I feel like I have all the knowledge and parts info so I can do an office job somewhere in the mechanics line. Just because as a diabetic, lifting heavy things whilst managing my health, it’s quite scary and stressful if it’s not in the good range❤

[@RLK02]

My family basically has a hobby farm with a bunch of heavy machinery and a fleet of yearly 2000’s diesel Volkswagens and I don’t think you don’t have to be a heavy diesel mechanic to work on diesels, for me KZbin is my best friend.

[@LifeIsToughUSSR]

The way you were making tea is me any time cooking "Oh my" like 3 times

[@Truckinwitit]

I want to get into this field. I notice a lot of schools offer diesel technology or heavy equipment. So hard to make a decision.

[@tylerrobinson6158]

I didn't go to tech or college for diesel mechanic. Was able to get into a dealership that was able to do on the job training.

[@jakebroz9116]

If you are going to school make sure it's one that will help you get into the field afterwards and not just say okay you graduated bye

[@chinamon7870]

@@tylerrobinson6158that’s what I’m about to do you have any advice for me going in

[@brandon33371]

@@chinamon7870I’m in the same boat as the other guy but I have been a generator mechanic for a couple yrs before jumping into diesel mech. There’s a lot to learn on the job, learn the systems of every component and everything else comes with experience. Try to work efficiently, The heavy duty stuff is no joke, it’ll take a toll on ur body if u like to man handle ur way through. Also starting off I’d get a common set of tools then later upgrade to power tools that help u work faster and also get special tools that make the job easier. I’m still learning at the moment but I’m around my 7th month in. Still slow but slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Try to keep a clean and organized area. It makes u look more professional and also is less of a headache trying to find bolts that rolled away. And I guess the last thing is to always ask for advice if you are unsure of doing something the right way.

[@nicklapierre5640]

Don’t waste your money, school is good and all but will never teach you what real world experience can teach you. It’s not easy but just go straight into the trade and skip over school

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

Start the hose wrap in the middle and work your way out one side at a time

[@gunlover1955]

I hope that brass fitting had inserts for the plastic line it will come off when it gets hot in the summer if it didn't, all plastic air line fittings have them inserts that go inside the tubing to keep the air line round and secure !

[@oliverhallett2557]

You talking about the farrel? It would be pissing if he didnt

[@Donniec685]

That’s quite literally the only way those fittings work. I can’t see how you could possibly screw that task up

[@davidbaldanza9375]

You should get hose crimper pliers instead of using vise grips the vise grips with damage the lines

[@pushvedula5640]

Yeah, I’m hoping to do auto and diesel tech if that’s possible!!

Did you just say there is a snowmobile trail in the field filled with snow.... 🤔 lol

[@connorthomas2667]

there is desingated trails in ontario you ride on some farmers filed he might just revoke anyone else coming on his property meaning the trail has to go around and everyone else has to suffer since you decided to rip up and down a farmers filed since a lot of land is very much private property that let trails go thourgh

Very insightful vid, are most diesel techs paid hourly if you don’t mind sharing? I’m currently in automotive at a Honda dealership, and am curious about possibly diesel later on…

[@ertren6]

Depends. I currently work for a school district as a mechanic for the school buses (primarily) and all the other vehicles. It's hourly. I just got accepted for a city job for diesel tech at the waste management center. Hourly too.

Please don't swear. Let your yes be yes, or your no be no. It is written in Matthew 5:37. As a zealot, this could be comparable to being pricked after a heavily used wirebrush finds itself into your skin. Not only does it irritate one, but the brush itself was practically useless beside the fact.
