Question for roadtek or others who will respond: "You mentioned that you started in the shop then after 2 years you went out on the road.

Would you share what you experienced in the transition, what obsticles did you incounter, if any, and how you overcame them.

Was it a "Culture" shock or was it a smooth transition?

How well did you adjust to the fact that all you had to work with was what you had on your service van and had to do things by your self?

Did any of the other "Roadies" who had been at it awile, offer you any help with time management, or maybe some "do's and dont's,
any "nuggets" of info that would help? Or did they "throw you to the wolves and let you fend for yourself?

After going out on the "road", Was there ever a time you wanted to go back into the shop?

Just curious , Thanx in advance for any response, from you or others.
