Hi, the name is phil and I am a resident here in yyc, originally from the Philippines, wife and daughter are here. I am very interested in the heavy duty mechanics trade but hesitant cause I don’t want to be away from the family all the time, saw that the work-life balance sucks if you are a diesel mechanic… fifo, camps, on the road all the time, with that being said, I do have an IT background in the Philippines and am also interested in being an electrician, being able to make as much as a jman elec as a HD mech and being at home everyday is a win-win for me. Whatchu guys think?

Hey yyc, can you recommend parking spaces to park and sleep? I have a half ton truck and me, just need a place to rest before work… I am basically homeless cause of my relationship with my wife. I slept last night at Dfoot city but saw security guards roving and if I do another night they might notice me. Was thinking of Grey eagle? Or maybe Gold’s gym parking area? Even the walmart at westbrook? This one lady recommended indigo at bankers hall 9th ave, it was $3 from 6pm-6am but she wasn’t sure if I can stay at my truck to sleep. Any recommendations would be helpful, either paid or free. Thank you.
