Had a FE ground route owner ask if I am interested in working for him as a Contractor through the peak season and possibly as a relief driver afterwards.

    This would be the customer who uses "mechanic in a can" and expects a permanent repair for the head gasket, oil seal, faulty oil pump, dirty or failing injectors, weak HPOP, slipping transmission, leaking or blown water pump, leak in the cooling system, tire that wont hold pressure, and wonders...
