Truck Technician

I work for the United States Post Office as a "Big Truck Technician"
My job is to perform maintenance and repairs on over the road cargo vehicles.
Semi's and Trailers
Long Box Cargo Trucks 11 Ton carrying capacity.
I work nights b/c most of the trucks are working during the day.
Sometimes when the shop is overloaded and my section is ahead in our maintenance schedule I work on the smaller local delivery trucks [Mail Jeeps] [even though they are not jeeps anymore]
And I rarely have to work on the staff cars.[but those techs call on me for consult sometimes b/c I have lots of real world diagnostic experience]
I've been working on cars and trucks since 1974
Been earning a taxable living at it since 1977
as for hobbies, I work so many hours during the week I have little time for other things,
BUT
when I can get away I like to fly kites
and Play with my Grandson
But for extra cash I get older cars and repair them for resale
most of them I get for free
I have to register them in my name before I can sell them, so over the years I have owned over a hundred different cars.
18 have been Geo Metro's
I like keeping the cars on the road.
It is my little way of saving the environment one auto at a time.
Enough about me, time for some others to speak up.
Schultz.
