I also take very good care of my customers and all my regulars usually call me first for repairs even if I can't or won't do the repairs, I'll recommend where they can do it. I hardly ever have a new customer anymore because my regulars keep me so busy.

Not for mobile which is what I do. I make that much because I work a lot, 50-70 hours a week is normal. Of course I treat the mobile side like it's my own business and do all my own scheduling.

They call that a part time job around here 🤣.

Seriously though I've been pushing to go back to 84 hr weeks instead of only 70. It'd be an extra ~20k a year.

When I worked oilfields it was 84 a week or more. I've done that where I am now but as I get older I am finding out I want to do more of my stuff, not work all the time. I've actually been trying to cut back to 10-12 hour days instead of 12-14 ones or longer. And hardly ever do calls on weekends or middle of the night anymore, I let the new mobile guy get those.
 
I pulled the trigger and applied. Pay isn’t really that great compared to what I’m making now. The recruiter, different one than listed, said $35-40/ hr plus expenses.
 
No hookers or blow, that may have made it worth it to me. Just travel, hotel and food. 3 people share a rental car. You put your credit card down for incidental damages to car or room. The info they sent me said 40 hours. Oshkosh throws in $100 annually for safety boots and they supply shirts.
I worked with Oshkosh FSRs when I was deployed when I was a truck mechanic in the Marines. They just fixed the shit we couldn’t figure out or didn’t want to put out the giant box adapter thing to connect the software. It sounded like a sweet deal, but that was in Afghanistan, and their pay was a lot higher- both said $150k/ year. Guess I should wait a year or so until the US is in another war they shouldn’t be.

With some experience our underground mine mechanics are making $140-150k in Alaska working 14 on 14 off. I think our 20 year old wil make over $100k this year. Let me know if you are interested.
 
Fuck anything over a 60 hour week...

30-40hr for that job doesn't sound real hot unless they are purposely trying to hire inexperience and train up.

sounds like they need someone to fix all the dumb engineering ideas on the field test

that's exactly what it is. OshKosh is doing a big modernization/update push. well, somebody always is somewhere.

should be easy work and repetitive. I can't imagine they'd put the newer guys onto the diagnose side of things.

they just don't have enough people for all of the oil pans/software updates/wiring harness or whatever it is that they are going to be swapping around by the fleet.

Basically, go to one fleet and work there for a month, go to another and repeat until whatever update is all done. At the end of it, move on to another job most likely or try and find something else at oshkosh now that you're "in"

i've considered the FSR thing, seems like a sweet gig for a young retiree or somebody trying something out/needing a change of pace.
 
Traveling for a job get old really fast, I've done it and I only went out a couple times a month and it was for some really cool job assignments, like shoot a car commercial, go on a R&D trip, take a load of prototype vehicles across country.
