Highest paying that I have personally seen is garbage trucks and heavy equipment with lead techs and your level 1/A techs making anywhere from 33‐39$ a hours with over time, bonuses, and great benefits. Just depends on what you want to do. Also take that as a rough estimate, you can make more but for your top tier mechanics that's usually the bracket you fall under. With overtime you can comfortably say 100k+ a year. Hope this helps
