 Yes,
you will probably have a big red toolbox on wheels.
And most mechanics are responsible for buying
their own tools up to a certain size. Beyond that,
most shops provide those big sockets (try 2 3/4",
for example!), high-powered air tools, and torque
wrenches capable of supplying the several thousand
PSI required by some hydraulic cylinders.
You'll also find that a laptop computer is a
pretty valuable item in your toolbox, because
more and more buses are equipped with computerized
diagnostic systems that allow mechanics like you
to do the work without having to tear the machines
apart. 
By the way, if you'd like to see what you'll
be working on, look at "Show Me The Machine"
in the different driver/operator sections of this
site. |
