Hello ladies and gentlemen, I’m a mechanic out of Local 18. Started out in construction and now I’m doing service and repair. Today I was doing a state preliminary on a TAC 32 2 stop front and rear hydro. I got some questions about performing an annual on this car. I’ll check out the forum first before I ask. Thanks.
The only thing I know is that I don’t know.

Thanks for the advice! I’m lucky I got some pretty knowledgeable mechanics on our team. I try and do like you suggested and just take it one step at a time, service and repair is a whole other animal compared to stacking rails. But I definitely dig it. Thanks again and glad to be hear.

Smart move on your part-
I started in the trade in 1981. My first 12 years were in construction and I enjoyed every day of it. I was given the opportunity to take a service route out near LAX in 1993. I was enjoying construction whether hydro install or traction. I hated Beverly Hills no start till 8am law. Anyway, twelve years in construction and the last twenty two in service. Nerve racking at first, call duty petrified me early on, but you’ve made the right move. I was fortunate to have two great seasoned mechanics nearby. While my old construction buddy’s were off due to rain, or equipment delays or whatever, I never missed a beat, and slowly learned the “ropes” of service. Best career move in the best trade anywhere. Today, my knees and back thank me for making that switch. Congrats on your new job, and a true statement from EElevator- your reputation will not only follow you, it might well proceed you in your career. Again, best to you.
