Been out of work for some time and am getting a little worried about the house now.I have been a diesel tech for the last 30 years. Used to get a job at the drop of the hat as soon as they say my resume but now seems like it isnt working anymore.Getting older but have the skills to do circles around a 25 year old and can still work on all phases of any truck or construction equipment with ease. More into engine diagnostics and rebuilding than anything.I know this isnt Career builder but when you get desperate,you have to do what you got to do!

Have you thought of opening your own mobile or otherwise shop? I started to, but my ex left, so I had to take care of my kids instead.

Had a shop a long time ago and went mobile after that but is hard some time getting your name out there. Would still like to go mobile but really need a cube van and with the big bucks Im getting from unemployment, not an option.

I had a one ton lube truck and was going to spread the word as I did lube and fuel out in the field. Electrical is something I'm real good at, and was going to see where I can go with lube, fuel, and electrical.
