Mostly International brand heavy duty truck work. General bumper-to-bumper repair alongside of Maxxforce overhauls. Dealer was a flag rate setup and I was expected to be proficient in total truck repairs. Work ranged from heavy to medium duty units with Maxxforce and Cummins motors.

While with DART transit company I eventually moved to supervisor position for the final 3 years of my employment. DOT/PM's and all work orders during my shift were filed, created, and delegated by myself. Proper data entry and parts entry/re-order were my responsibility as well. Mechanic duties were also a part of my job as needed. I gained a large experience of a multitude of engines and after-treatment systems while I was employed with DART.
