From Rookie to Reliable

Every hour your truck sits in a shop is money out of your pocket.

One ignored warning sign can turn into a $1,000 tow, a $5,000 repair and a lost load. Written by a diesel mechanic with 15 years in the shop, this no-nonsense guide shows owner-operators how to keep their trucks earning and their repair bills down.

No jargon, no fluff. Just the practical knowledge a good mechanic uses every day, explained in plain English.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize the sounds, smells, smoke and gauge readings that warn of trouble before it leaves you stranded
• Read fault codes yourself and know when to pull over and when it's safe to keep rolling
• Prevent costly DPF, DEF and EGR problems and avoid derates
• Handle common roadside breakdowns with a simple tool and parts kit
• Follow a preventive maintenance routine that actually pays for itself
• Walk into any shop knowing the right questions to ask and the red flags of overcharging
• Decide which jobs to do yourself and which are worth paying for
• Pass roadside inspections with fewer surprises
• Buy a used truck without buying someone else's problems

Packed with real-world shop stories, checklists, quick-reference tables, a troubleshooting-by-symptom guide and a glossary, this is the book to keep in your cab.

Fewer breakdowns. Lower bills. More time earning on the road.
