Jonya’s Answer

In many of the shops, heavy-duty diesel mechanics begin their inspection by following a checklist of typical diesel engine glitches. If that doesn’t identify the problem, they may need to use diagnostic equipment to examine the engine, electrical and other systems for difficulties. Heavy-duty diesel mechanics should know how to place large vehicles on lifts so they could get underneath them to work because the average engine weighs 400-12,000 pounds!

Hope this helps!

Evelyn Angelica’s Answer

Is one of the best options I would say (in my experience) almost all males in my family are on that and first of all if you are smart and don't take things personally (everything as a professional) then you will get really good money and that world looks small and companies will look for your talent and after keep teaching yourself, because just get a degree is not enough for being the best, but even you can start your own shop and get really good money. I recommend it, I hope to have the same energy to spend as a diesel mechanic but I appreciate your interest on that amazing career.
