a while back i posted about NADC school and how i was thinking about going. now i was just wondering how many of you guys are diesel mechanics, and what kind of wages you guys make? im interested in becoming a mech. and im just curious. wages, benefits, and such? also, what kind of place you working at? a local truck service joint, a Cummins dealer, Peterbilt, etc? the reason i ask that is cuz there is a Cummins dealer, a Peterbilt dealer, and 2 or 3 big trucking places within working/driving distance of me. thanks for any and all info.

I work with a guy that goes to NADC. He just went to a job fair, where Catapillar, volvo and mercedes were hiring straight from that school. I heard that NADC is a good school, but you have to want to learn, not just hang out!!

yea one of the guys i talked to said they have 75-100 companies that come through 2 times a year and interview ppl to hire right out of school. thats sounds pretty good to me. i'd like to work for Cummins, Caterpillar, or Peterbilt or something. I thought that some ppl on here might have some info for me.
