I manage a D.O.T. cargo tank repair shop.

Field Notes and Resources for the Cargo Tank Trade

My shop floor leadership philosophy: training as a group effort, quality as integrity, and the primary duty of a Supervisor is to SET THE TEAM UP FOR SUCCESS.

I write about craftsmanship, developing technicians and leading a shop.

I’m also building Resources: a growing directory of links to manufacturer manuals, technical references and official sources. It points to the source. It doesn’t replace it. The right information helped me grow in this trade.
