Fuck yeah 🤘😎🤘 this is me and my coworkers all day. I can’t think of one days that’s passed in the last 7 years that’s been 💯 serious or someone doesn’t get called gay 😅 being a mechanic is the only job in the world where a hillbilly, alcoholic and addict are all best friends
If you're a buisness owner and you've gotten to the point where you can turn down work and pick of choose your customers then you know you're doing well. Awesome content
@@Sirmellowman I always say its not the hours but who you give them to. I'd rather work 18 hours for MYSELF than work 18 hours so someone else can make money.
I spent 45 years on the wrenches, most of that was field service. Best job in the world. But I will admit that my last 3 years of work, I took a shop position. I had enough rain in my lunch box, it was time for a nice warm shop. Coastal BC was my playground.
My dad's been an HD Mechanic for the majority of his life. He spent a good amount of time in his own service vehicle up in Fort McMurray too. These guys work there asses off, and I know first hand they break there bodies in an attempt to get every job done and every unit on its way. Cheers man
I've watched blue collar workers from around the world over the years. And it's so lovely to see they are all the same. Curse words, adult jokes and the occasional gay remark 😂😂😂
When I was 18 I started working for my best friends stepfather who was a heavy equipment mechanic. Funnest job I ever had. I got to travel all over Ontario and work on so many different Machines. Long hours but it was worth it! 😆👍
im an instrument technician in alberta and i love heavy duty mechanics and the dynamic they always have with their helpers it’s always fun to listen in on them talking shit 😂
This man is motivation , love the content guys. Hope to see more and more videos . Can’t wait to open my mobil Mech business , definitely inspired by cam and Carson . Love Carson’s push by the way , if a company would take me in because I kept showing up regardless if I even worked there gosh that would be the day. Good job once again guys . Keep up the great work

Much respect brotha, that's the work. I remember me being a young punk and got two jobs, one from 7 to 16, second one from 17 to 21, that one hour in middle for travelling. Worked five days a week, the weekends for the second job starting from 9 till 20. I lived like that for three years and survived. Can't help but feel easier now that I'm truckin' 😁

My Dad has been a hydraulic mechanic all my life.As I got older I did a lot service calls with him, twisting wrenches in the field is hard grunt work.Much respect to all FIELD SERVICE GUYS!! Thanks guys for all hard work,keep the content coming y'all..
Did the same 6am - 11pm as a general contractor's "Apprentice" for 2 years worked weekends and even Christmas day, We would drive an Hour to the Job, Work until 5pm renovating a luxury bathroom for a dog. Then drive an hour and do another job closer to home putting in dry wall ceilings and custom trim. Could be painting an Exterior in the Morning and Tiling a bathroom or basement in the evening. We did everything so there was always work. too much work. Wasn't worth it for the money I was making. Now I do my 9-5 tool an die job and make more so I'm happy.
Probably never worth it as time is so valuable in life. Even a good wage won't compensate for the time you can't spend with family, friends and enjoying life. Nowadays I'll take a 9-5 without hesitation, when you're young it isn't a big deal to work in remote areas for 18 hours a day, been there done that.
@@GTStuning- You are right about that. Spent 10 years on the road over 3 Provinces, remote areas as well. During the work season the only time you got home was long weekends. When i settled down and we had our first daughter, i had enough seniority to stay in the shop. BUT other mechanics with seniority loved that lifestyle and kept going out even with a family at home. Good money but they would miss a lot of their kids growing up. I didn't want that, but it was a fun time on the railway gangs.
Life long industrial mechanic here (pump repair & automated machinery). Yep, this is a mechanic’s life, lingo, etc. No acting or added comedy here. Legit.
This is the level of apprenticeship I always wanted. Instead I just got crusty ass techs that told me they were wiping my ass every time I asked a question but would freak out if I just tried and made a mistake.
Guys like that are a-holes. Fortunately, i had a lot of good guys when i was an apprentice. Most of those a-holes likely had good guys when they were in the same boat. Funny how some forget. I can remember only one crabby old basta*d where i worked. One guy who knew him well said he was a completely different guy off the job but at work, a-hole.
This kind of work is so fulfilling. You show up and have a problem, you fix the problem, and know that you're enabling the farmers/loggers etc to keep their work going and food on their tables.
If the discovery channel made a series like this I would most def watch. As a lifelong carpenter who wrenches on his own vehicles on weekends I have huge respect for professional mechanics.
That's cool man enjoyed seimng you guess take that 12 valve or 8.3 cummins out .. I used to help a semi mechanic and the drainage of the used oil and greasing brought memories lol
You guys have me in fucking stitches watching this. Reminds me of everything I did as a kid with my dad , uncle and cousin.. just the constant banner and ball bustin.love it.

@@MooseBacon403 hey man wish you the best of luck finding a placement, I’ve been in the trade 7 months so far it’s been really enjoyable, I’m pretty sure you’ll like it too. Rental places are really good because they tend to have various types of equipment, and usually multiple of them, so there are some margins for “learning”
great video guys, as a person that wants to get into this industry this is one of the best insight videos iv seen. and being in bc too makes it more realistic too. keep up the great work and videos.
Not me , I got more class than that. When your filled with Holy Spirit why would you talk this way? How sad, it just shows depravity and being led by your sinful flesh.
Maybe they edited it out. Maybe he isn't the swearing type. I worked with guys like that BUT i made up for what they didn't say. Found out later i was called Cursing K.... behind my back by one gang of guys i was mechanic for.
It's a tough job young man's world ,I retired at 35 changing Rockwell axles in the mud in freezing temperatures at 6 am ain't fun at least they pay good now
as a hd mechanic myself i noticed that your dark humour sounds alot like ours in the workshop :D that´s probably common when working with these pieces of S**T :P love from Finland
when you hear blue collar worker these are the kinda guys you should think about people putting in insane hours to feed their families and keep their houses afloat dope work dude!
I'm an automotive mechanic, I only work 9 to 5 at the same location 5 days a week , the toughest days are when there lots of heavy tire jobs or suspension work where the bushings or wheel bearing won't co operate, after that my dogs are tired and Im sore ready to do nothing when I get home, this looks like a tough job you better be getting paid way better than me LOL
I wonder how many engineers are killed everyday in the minds of mechanics? Walk into any repair shop for 20 minutes and you will here…”if I ever meet the engineer that designed this, I will…”.
Yup as a machinist when I do reapair on machines often wonder if was a newbe or engineers last day and designed a adjustment simple but in area where it takes five hours to do
In the aviation industry, we use a type of synthetic fluid called skydrol for the hydraulic system. It was developed by Monsanto to replace the mineral based oil 5606. Your skin feels burning when it contacts with Skydrol and it can last for hours. I think the engineers/ chemists who developed should be held accountable but in reality, they are enjoying their retirement lives.
This was a cool video to watch. I work on airplanes and it’s the same stuff. Grease, oil,filters, broken shit, long days etc etc. good work man this was fun to see other people working hard.
The banter of these guys is what you try to describe to girls what goes through your head, and they just looked at you dazed, "why would you think like that"
Dude, I could be sad shit every day, but, everytime Carson says "What's a hernia?", I crack up and laugh uncontrollably for five to ten minutes Keep up the video's (even tho this video is a year old) - all the best from Belgium
In a country with harsh winters dudes like these need to work 18 hours a day during the warmer months to make up for their 5 months holiday during the colder months.
