I did that as well. Started off at a dealership, then worked for an independent shop. You remember QLube? Worked for them until the Pennzoil-Quakerstate merger in turn QLube was absorbed by Jiffy Lube. Left them to manage a Texaco Xpress Lube, then back to another independent...then decided to get into trucking. About 14 years total in the quick lube business.
Hmmm, back about twenty some years ago I used to work close by a QLube in Marietta, GA. Never used them since I like to change the oil myself. You brought some memories...
Now I am an expediter, which is a glorified truck driver. I drive a straight truck all over the US, transporting stuff that needs to be there yesterday, from auto parts, to electric motors, to airplane tires, to jet engines. I basically come in to save the day when "next day delivery" is just not fast enough. Once I had to expedite a $75,000.00 diamond ring from Atlanta to a CEO in Memphis. All I could hope was that she said "Yes."
