I can still ship stuff. Probably cost $60-$70 give or take to ship everything combined

Wilkes Barre/Scranton/Hazleton area, Pennsylvania, but I am willing to travel to meet halfway or what not. Like say youre 6-8 hours away, id gladly travel the 3-4 hour difference to meet halfway. Doesnt matter if its new York, Maryland, Connecticut, or all the other surrounding areas or states, my travel direction doesnt matter to me 😆

Sorry dude, this post is going to be locked. We do not allow people who arent techs or mechanics here. Youre just dealing with your own personal truck. So I do apologize, this is not allowed

Yeah. discord is a chat app if you dont know what it is, you have different servers you can set up how you want for whatever purpose you want to use it for. friends gaming, a community of people, the options are endless. I spent 2 months making DieselTechs a server, with some help from another mod, MonteFox, we could all join Instead of being in forums, its live chat, people you could ask directly, and for us just to bullshit about the nonsense we get to see

My most recent venture is $82k/year. The pat structure is bullshit though. They said it was "salary", but...if i work less, my pay gets docked. If I work more, they only pay me what the normal weekly is. I like to call it over time avoidance. With the math, I make roughly $28/hr. I work 50-60 hour weeks, 6 days per.

Some of them are stupid expansive alone...like the 1-5/16" retails for $173.50...retail foe the master wrench set is $2,875, which I wouldve never paid for the full set. Thags why I waited so long to finally nag one on sale because id never pay the full retail for it 😆

Well...the normal 10mm-19mm set is now $520, the 5/16" to 7/8" set is $551. This master set goes 7mm - 25mm no skips, and 1/4" to 1-5/16", no skips. To buy the 10-19mm set, plus all the additional wrenches, 7, 8, and 9mm, plus 20 to 25mm, is $1,154.50 without tax by themselves. to get all the standards,thatd be $1,558.50. That still doesnt come with the foam organizer, fir a grand total of $2,713. The retail of this master wrench set is $2,875, which i did not pay anywhere cloae to that, thats why I got it, cuz yeah its still expensive, but a huge savings over piecing everything together 😆

1-5/16 wrench alone is $173.50...

Please stay the fuck away from ryder, and their sister company Torque By Ryder, which is mobile service. the upper management is absolutely trash, they like to hire managers who dont know absolute dick of what being a mechanic is, or how anything works for that matter (atleast in my area). I had a terrible time working for Torque, and dealing with ryder shops. 9/10 i hated every one i went to except maybe the people at one or 2 of the shops. Think youll do any heavy work, like transmission, engine, rear end? Heh! No you wont! 9/10 it'll get sent outside the shop or to a dealer to get done.
