Ft mac Alberta, so knock off about 35% for US currency.
60 plus perks prolly about 70 per hour all in. 14 on 14 off 12hr. Fleet of Thomas and IC, no internal work cept trans filters, valve sets, way to dusty, tent/rigmat flooring. Plus, to be honest, Cummins and Allison not to many internal issues.
Did enough engine inframes and manual transmission rebuilds where I previously worked for most of my adult life. I'm over it.
Only mechanic 27hr 40hrs a week normally but i can work more whenever i want. 10 extra hours seems to be the sweet spot before taxes hit hard. I live in Oklahoma so cost of living isn't horrible yet. After wife finishes nursing school I will probably get a new job with better pay but I hope they will pay more to keep me. I can leave anytime I need no questions asked and that is worth alot with kids activities and family stuff. Couple weeks ago my mom went to the hospital and boss told me not to worry about anything and come back when ever I feel like it. Got a call each day from him about my mom and only 2 times was work mentioned. I have quit 2 job because I told them I need to go and they wouldn't let me.
$48.00 an hour, 40 hr week M-F, Northern California. 2 mechanics, 93 vehicle fleet mixed L/M duty trucks along with Pete’s, Freightliners, Kenworth, etc. We do all repairs unless too extensive or time consuming. No Tires. No tearing in too deep into engine or trans. Clutches are about the most major type of work we do, everything else we do. Most of what we do is 90 day BIT and Annual inspections repairing what we find along with LOF’s. We (our company)do ALOT of work on the refineries up here so it’s mostly “we need it yesterday” kinda stuff, or going to the refinery to fix something there.
I made $31.81 working on city buses and we didn't farm anything out with the exception of intense bodywork. Rotating weekends, paid federal holidays. We did everything from lube jobs to inframe overhauls.
I make $30.08 + 10% shift differential working on school buses. All state and federal holidays off. We send almost everything to the dealer. I mostly do tires, brakes, and some light electrical now.
Both are union shops, an hour outside of Chicago. In my fleet experience, everyone gets the same pay regardless of the tasks assigned. I'd suggest just getting over it unless you wanna go work at a dealer.
$41hr in CO outside of Denver for a heavy equip dealer. Was making $42 for a contractor but wanted to get some dealer experience. 50-60 hr weeks typically.
Alaska, 34 to 42 an hour with free health care and 25 days PTO a year. In a tech position we only diagnose and replace. We used to do complete engine rebuilds but it wasnt cost effective. That being said we machine our own brakes because they are custom. I mostly work on wiring, brakes, transmission, and engine issues. Also, being in alaska we do respond to roadcalls year round but we only look at it and if it is not any easy fix it gets towed. The hardest thing we do on a roadcall is swap a tire that is flat for vehicle specific towing reasons.
Where in AK? I'm in SE, sounds pretty much like my job but we just replace drums every brake job. I've been trying to get my boss to utilize the tow company instead of doing complex shit on the side of the road in the rain.
Its a muni job in Anchorage. We have transmission retarders on our vehicles so our brakes last roughly 200k to 300k miles so when we do brakes we do a complete over haul its time consuming but its an easy straight forward task. We found that over the years having 2 techs trying to fix a vehicle on the side of the road for 2 hours costs more then just towing it to the shop. Same with engines we used to rebuild all of ours but with the time and parts required and also probability to something failing due to a mistake it costs less to just buy a new engine.
> are getting *paid* low 30s
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Wow. As someone looking to get in the industry after being on the manufacturing side for 4 1/2 years it’s really great to see that the pay is pretty good even in places I wouldn’t think. I live in WA State and we start near $30 and my uncle works for Seattle County making $50+ or - a little with amazing benefits. Like Double retirements, retire at 55 if he wants (he won’t though) and he says it’s really easy and slow work compared to what he did before at Penske for 10 years. We’re also unionized work mostly(not trying to debate there’s pros and cons) which probably makes a difference in pay but I’m seeing a pretty good balance here regardless! Awesome.
Work for a utility in Montana. LOF, DOT inspections, brakes, electrical, and hydraulics. We are allowed to pretty much dig as deep as we want and it’s up to us to determine what might be too time consuming so that we send out. Me and another in my shop, about 95-100 cars, pickups, digger derricks, bucket trucks, and trailers. 4/10, as much OT as you want, none required. OT is time and a half. I am foreman at 41 an hour, my other guy is at 36 an hour. Been there 13 years, the other guy been with me a year. Firmly believe I’ll retire from there in 17 years. Excellent job/place to work.
I think I used to work for the same company, but in interior AK. To answer your question, low $50s in the Seattle area. Still working on busses though. Now I went from the tour buses in Alaska to transit buses down here.
Most likely the same company. There's only a couple. How long ago was that? I've heard they drastically raised wages and I'm about 10/hr less than I was previously working on equipment.
I'm in Tennessee. I'm at 27.50 an hour. I'm a mid level tech, I can still pronote again when I learn more about diag. We don't go any farther then cams and usually we don't do those. Certainly wouldn't let us pull a head or anything like that. I've been in the industry for almost a year, I'm coming over from automotive. 40 hours a week, 5 days. Overtime depends on the company's discretion
$31/hr. 100% insurance paid none out of pocket. One week of Vaca after a year. Coming up on 1year in June. They paid for my CDL and very chill on time away/off I. Washington State. It'd be nice to have more direction in terms of training but it's for a company of approximately 16 people where we do DOT's standard troubleshooting and diagnostics. No tires f*** that
28/hr in SC with CDL 5/10s 10hr ot guaranteed and service calls. Got a service truck after 6mo. 4th yr at a smaller fleet shop, we are slowly phasing from doing it all, eng rebuilds, cab swaps, etc to all newer trucks. Which don't require as much in depth work.

Sign me up. Good for you.
34.00 here, Texas. No in frames, no tires and no internal transmission. They pay for all supplies.
Who is your tires like a Mobile guy?
Yeah, they stock tires in the shop and come out them on when we call
Sun city?
I’m in the sun city and also at $34.50 if you were wondering if it’s possible.
What shop? Cummins was shit here....
Dallas

I have a ton of flexibility in the Winter but summer can be demanding. The downside, living in AK the summer is time for fun.
That sounds so amazing, are y'all hiring? I lost my last job over my daughter getting sick
Central KS. Similar pay & flexibility but we are running 50-60 hours/week

No mechanic should be doing F'n tires.....
Pretty standard in automotive. On/off highway we change them with our phone.
This is the way.
I’m commission based so sign me right the fuck up for all the tire road calls, I’ll take that freakishly easy money
Location is a big help
I'm in AK
How long is tourist season?
5-6 months
Yeah fuck that, half the year !??? . Bad enough to be working 5 days a week
Contemplating on hopping over to the city to just have 4-10s year around, that might still end up with weekends though.
As long as it only 4 days on and at least two consecutive days off I'm good . What city ?
I made $31.81 working on city buses and we didn't farm anything out with the exception of intense bodywork. Rotating weekends, paid federal holidays.

I'll never do dealer life again. Unless I go back to EPG

35/hr 4 years in in Idaho raised in ak. We are glorified lube techs. Get a to a project every once in a while but nothing hard or fast
Canada, Ontario, around 110k cad per year, 50 hours per week
Alaska, 34 to 42 an hour with free health care and 25 days PTO a year. In a tech position we only diagnose and replace. We used to do complete engine rebuilds but it wasnt cost effective.

SE? What part? I'm in Juneau and lookin for a better paying job.
I'll send you a private message
Most fleets are paying mid to high $20 range in central va for techs. Top guys are getting payed low 30s

I was there 2014 and 2015. Not a bad time there, but I had some other obligations that made me move.
Right on I'm in SEAK
I was in interior, but we had like six or seven locations back then. Of course it’s been nearly a decade.
I'm in Tennessee. I'm at 27.50 an hour. I'm a mid level tech, I can still pronote again when I learn more about diag. We don't go any farther then cams and usually we don't do those.

That's good pay, not sure what the complaint is.
Not a complaint, I'm just curious. I've definitely made higher hourly wage before but for the amount of work done it's not bad.
