QUITTING MY JOB AS A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER

[Jaybird]

Lube tech is the foot in the door for mechanics, I’m all for it

[fawnathefox]

I’m glad to see ClawBoss still driving the bus. He’s my favorite bus driver.

I respect any man that gets in the trades as a career choice

[landonbabb]

I’m a mechanic, and word of wisdom. Tekton, harbor freight, and husky is your best friend. Don’t over spend on tools! It’s very easy to do…. And if you borrow it more than twice you need to get one…. Thanks for your school bus content boss.

Seems like a legit good dude I love to see that

[antivessal]

Man I love seeing when people who want to learn mechanic work. It is a work field that needs more people

Remember you dont have to keep up with the snap on guys. Harbor frieght does just as good on breakables. Spend decent money on your impacts and such but no need to go full blown snap on out the gate.

You’re hero for keeping them kids safe!

[BabyGMadDog]

I’m happy for you, good luck on the new career path!

The harbor freight, Hercules line and Quinn sockets are a lifesaver

[FelishaMcGriff]

Super cool. A few of our bus mechanics drive busses too ❤❤❤❤

[jailhousephilosopher]

Been a mechanic for 20yrs, got an associates degree, and ASE's. I still change oil, especially if we are short handed or slow.

[Proud_Troll]

BASED AF.
I think that being able to work as a mechanic is a universally good thing, like coding, or cooking.

[scubadivingsince]

You do you man. It’s your life you have to live it an be happy with what you have done an what you will do. Good job an best of wishes. 🙂👍

[Hellvrglrga]

Awesome man! It’s always cool to learn new trades.

I see you're a Harbor Freight guy; when i got started a few years back i bought a QUINN set that they had; it was like 427 piece tool set for $380. I know that might be a lot, but it covered a lot of the stuff you will need including full torx, hex bit, 12 point, metric and standard sockets in various square drives, screw drivers, regular metric and standard wrenches as well as a select set of ratcheting wrenches, breaker bar, extensions, ect. I only did a year of heavy use with them at a truck shop before i switched to painting cars, but everything made it out except one Torx socket and my 1/2" swivel socket broke.

clawboss knows a lot of stuff about cars I see good stuff more knowledge good stuff!!!

[biggorse]

My man good on you I’ll be honest since I was like 17 18 I’ve seen you talk about all those busses and tbh I’ve always wanted to just sit n have a drink with bro he has always seemd so chill

[BleuSkiddew]

If you're going to take this seriously, id definitely recommend getting a plastic cart with decent size wheels. The plastic is to reduce the risk of damaging a vehicle if it makes contact, the wheels are more likely to run over air hoses and stupid stuff on the floor, and its a good place to put some tools and supplies you need for the job to avoid running to your box. Your cart is basically the thing you use during the day and your box is storage for stuff that you don't think you need for the job you're currently working on. I know you're not flat rate, but if it ever happens, having a way to cut down the time walking to and from your box can really add up. Id also be sure to stay disciplined by having a spot for everything, and id say at least reorganize once a week.

Just keep following your feet, you’ll get where you wanna be.
