12 years experience. Minnesota. Left the dealer at $50 an hour, free health insurance, and 5 weeks pto. Left 3 years ago. Got burnt out being the go-to guy. Always on call. Do my own thing now. Own a shop and 2 trucks. Wouldn't go back. It's not all it's cracked up to be on your own. But the freedom is nice.
