Summary
I’ve worked in various automotive fields and semi trucks and trailers. I’ve worked with plenty of equipment over time and know tools. I also worked in parts department when at the Chevrolet place when we were slow and helped put parts ordered up and a parts store right after college for a short time. So I go where I needed and I know my way around automotive and the sorts.
