Congratulations, lemon.

Good luck.

Brenster try w.w.gay mechanical or local 234 jacksonville

I've recently started with a new company and the jump was well worth it.

trying commercial

I have been in Transport Refrigeration for many years, and often thought about trying a career slide to the commercial side of things.

I still think about doing this but, am not sure where to start.

It's not the 130f+ that's the problem, it's the 45f- up here in Canada, that sucks.

i AGREE
BIGGER IS BETTER!

thank you

I appreciate that, and will give them a call and see if they have anything available on monday. I'll check out their website right now.

thank you for the help.

If Orlando's not too far out for you, I would try MSI. They stay busy year round, and have one of the best apprenticeship programs/training facilities in the state.

www.msifla.com

yeah, i have been searching the tampa area, looking for apprentice or anything in the commerical area..right now i would be happy to come in as entry level just to get my foot in the door, Daytona beach is dead, i'm thinking Orlando or Tampa. I hate saying this but i wish it would get hot out .


I can't believe i said that...

Brenster, there's lots of shops here in Tampa that would gladly take someone with a great attitude, no ego, and proven track record on the residential side.

The fundamentals will never change, no matter what it is you're working on. If your understanding of electrical principles and troubleshooting is sound, you'll do well.

You can get out of the attics and on to a white-hot rubber roof in the middle of july

it does sound appealing

are there any companies here in florida that will take on a residential service/installer and train them in the commericial field? because i would love that kind of oppurtunity, the attics are getting old..

And no more penny pinching "Homeowners"

I guess that answers my question. Thanks

Amen to that. Did a favor for an old bosses neighbor, only charged a service call (she shut emergency switch instead of light switch) called him everyday till he gave her money back.
