To proshadetree : Most "newbe" roadies struggle with "time management" and the ability to work by themselves.

You can't just take any shop guy, put him in a van, with a handfull of work order forms and turn him loose, most will not last.

I feel that some usefull information from an experienced Tech shared with a "GREEN" Tech could help him adjust to his new World,
Working in a shop is totally different, you have someone taking care of scheduling, lining up the work, dealing with customers, and so on.

A few pointers would help a bunch.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
