Ture that. We are expecting a lay off for a year as far as it sounds. Coming up this January.

Thats why Im going to be applying at dealerships this September/October or so. Gonna be hard since the winter is so slow.

 

I work at Billy Craft Honda in Lynchburg

 

I work at Yokohama.

 

I work at Lloyd Concrete woooooo lol

SOmeone mentioned working @ Branch..we do TONS of work with Branch but not Branch Highways. I know its the same company per say just different divisions

 

I work at Areva NP Inc.

 

even worse. at least at volvo you would have a consistent paycheck when you work.

dont do dealership, ESPECIALLY in school/fresh out of school with minimal experience. you will get shit upon.

find a decent indy, and work and learn. if you dont mind diesels, or heavy shit for that matter, try to get on with AEP in their fleet shop. all you will see is powerstrokes and 444E's, but its decent pay.

there is no advantage to working at a dealership aside from getting the latest training and tooling, but you will be stuck with a minimum of 60% warr. work, and thats on good days. at least at an indy you will be doing full pay work, regardless of whether its an oil change or what have you. a used car dealership is a little better to work for, but most of the time they want you to half ass fix it, and you wont have any information.

talk to shawn at united muffler in fairlawn, about a month ago i was talking to him and he mentioned he was needing help. you may start out being a GS tech (aka the tire/lube bitch) but thats how i started at Pep Boys 8 years ago. at least there you would have consistent hours, and have equipment and training avail. (i say this cause he goes to most of the training classes i got to, and we shoot the shit when we are at break)

just dont fucking cuss much, he's fairly religious.

 

you dont f'ing deliver, and i hate having to depend on the brown truck to deliver shit. not to mention the driver bitches every time he has to unload a 125lb wheel.....


fucking pussy. i asked him if he wanted to see a mounted 24.5 one time, he nearly cried.

 

125lb wheel? What the FUCK are you working on up there? lol

 

lol, well we do deliver up that way just not every day but I don't believe there are hardly any customers of ours in floyd so the drivers do whine and cry about making "special trips". But yes, our drivers are bitches and have a tendancy to cry over anything that involves working.

I do know exactly which driver you are referring to though. He delivers up that way and is the absolute worst one out of all of them. Whats the name of your shop? I've got a meeting this afternoon and would love to bring up the subject manner to my boss to try and get the issue resolved.

 

Look at that..... someone who actually wants to make a difference. Thumbs up P-Dawg
