"Thank you for your interest in Field Diesel Mechanic . Your time and effort are greatly appreciated. At this time, your application is no longer under consideration for this position."
40 years managing trucks and equipment. Dozens of certifications and licenses and many awards given by a Governor, representative and fleet managers.
And I didn't make the cut?
They want me to believe that it has nothing to do with my age?
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
So now that I went back to work, sorting through tools in the big trailer is a pain.
And since I've spent the last 30 years in a service truck and am now in a shop, I just ordered a tool box.
Several thousands of dollars later, it gets delivered next week.
The tool box I have at the moment, while it is huge, is actually not good for working out of. For a home shop, it's fine.
Now I'm just hoping that I made the right decision with this place.

Not your age. Your ability, knowledge, and qualifications.
If they claim to be an equal opportunity employer, call them and ask for an explanation other than age.
Right. Over qualified?
