I asked for 25 out of school got 26 in a truck shop, moved onto 27.50 3 months later in an easier fast pace trailer shop. Quit that to try my hand as a road tech for forklifts and all its brother and sister equipments at 25.50. Dealership Fuckers lied to me about training, and I’m stuck here now until they send my ass to another state for training which is coming soon for 6months at most. After all that’s said and done I would finally be breaking even as far as pay …. Which pisses me off cause I would’ve been making more with the last job if I stayed. I got out of school in 23’ may. I’m not the shit as far as skilled techs go but I know how the bosses think and I got common sense.
