Well my normal run to work was 32 miles so it is only a lil further and I have been making good money working on the side and I can still do that but this is a pay check every week plus some side work on the weekends but he doubled my last real jobs pay because I showed him today how to build a trans he didn't know how to build I used to work on big trans like garbage trucks and buses he has never done that so he can add that to his business and not many people can work on such big trans so he should pick up some new work and I am certified to build these trans while under warranty so he can charge what he wants for labor and the factory will usually pay it otherwise he can charge more for labor than he can a light truck or car job I would like to work for 5-10 more years then open my own shop but I think I need to learn a lil more about business he has offered to teach or show me so I was impressed with his professionalism today ***) ***) ***)
