I have worked at kenworth in nor cal, was deployed to Hawaii for cOvid relief for 1 year and returned working at a shitty travel center. I caught a break working at western states when i came back and was fortunate enough to work under Adept Ape for over a year at western states. He is knowledgable, considerate and caring of not only the people he works with but most importantly the customer. What is the best bang for their buck? What is the TRUE REPAIR? What is best all around? Honestly. This Muth** Fu**** knows!!!! I can’t believe i had the GODDA** HONOR to work under him. I learned more in 3 months than i did a year plus at kenworth. He’s a freaking genius. I am honored to work under him, learn, and Most importantly call him friend. (Which I have less than 3). I parted ways before josh when trucks got slow and regret dearly not learning from one of the best in the field. I used to open his day with “I have an apprentice question” only to be greeted with “a question is simply a question, and an answer is simply an answer” he is humble, he is an incredible teacher, and he is HONEST. He would answer my question and actually TEACH. Josh. Do well. Keep your morales and do what you do best, fix what’s wrong, be honest and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD keep teaching people. There are too many that do but don’t teach. You have a teachers heart and for an apprentice being able to honestly answer a question and learn without it being a joke is GOLD. You’re the best and I will ALWAYS support you and treasure being able to call you friend. -Andy

Quitting just got you one more subscriber. I’ve watched for years. Never clicked the button until now.

I am a longtime subscriber. I have some CAT equipment. I welcome your return to repair videos as I do all my own work. Now almost every repair (that I haven't done before) starts with a KZread video search and view. KZread has given me the information and confidence to tackle almost any problem.

When one door closes another opens. You are an analytical guy, that I know just by watching you diagnose a problem. So leaving Western States will be uncomfortable, it may very well be greatest move for you, your channel and your family. Go for it. Anxious to see you doing repairs again.

We sincerely appreciate all of your amazing videos Josh. Certainly their loss and a poor decision on Western States' part. From the videos I have watched over the years, YOU and your channel has brought work from all over the country... because of YOU. I'm excited to see what the future brings for you and your viewers!

Josh what I love is your level-headedness and knowledge. I hope it isn't lost to Cat engines - but even more important not lost to the industry. We (the world) need Diesel Mechanics and there are getting fewer of them. Diesel engines aren't going away - Cat CEO in an interview talked decades at a minimum, in fact they are expanding right now the ability to make large engines 3500, C175 and 3600/C280. Your KZread channel inspired many and hopefully encourages some that wouldn't have otherwise seen a career as a diesel mechanic to take it up. A trade that is portable (as per other - tool boxes have wheels) is an AWESOME trade. Think also builder/carpenter, electrician, plumber they all offer an easy route to being able to move easily and indeed be paid well, AND if you want to set up your own business. With nearly 250,000 followers you have a BIG channel, and this positive view on getting your hands dirty is needed, so THANKS for prioritising it. Cat getting out of truck engines certainly changed the volume of engines being sold - about 50% of 15L, with about 90% of them being sold in North America. It is now more than 14 years ago and so given that it is now more than the average age of truck in NA the population is certainly getting smaller now. Even with the support the Cat engine operators have give the engine by continuing to keep their Cat powered trucks on the road rather than having newer trucks powered by something else.

Congratulations on keeping your integrity and not surrendering to the man. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to keep up with where you will be working. I'm an OTR driver based out of Chicago area but would consider driving my truck to wherever you are to have motor work done.

Good for you 👍🏾 we who watch your content truly appreciate the value your channel represents.

If it was all "working"... then it was probably the legal team. Liability. Even if you presented none (so far) then they were playing the "what if" and decided against your efforts, even though they did exploit those efforts at one time. The remote chance that you could inadvertently film something that could be used against them... outweighs your wants/needs/happy place.

The time lost setting up cameras and doing the KZread thing while at work is the problem. They want your time while on the job to be 100% focused on CAT work, to be as productive as you can as a mechanic for them. Makes a lot of sense. You can't blame the guys who deal with customers and schedule them in for service and repairs, they need work to get done as soon as practical.

You are correct, if you compared a job I filmed vs. didn't film anything, you couldn't tell any difference on the job labor time wise. It was actually quite insignificant the extra 3-5 minutes of filming per day. Easy for me to make that time up, but it's their company and their call. You would think all the jobs that I brought in to the shop would have more than made up for that, but that doesn't seem to matter.
