Certified Heavy Duty Mechanic

You and the very best Heavy Duty Mechanics have several things in common.  You are a fixer.  You like to get your hands into a project, keep on task, and take pride in getting the job done right the first time.  When the going gets tough and timelines are short, you are there to bail out the team and save the day.  The job should come with a socket wrench and a cape!
