 I work on maintenance on police cars, TPW, all of our fleet vehicles. I do anything from diagnostics to heavy repairs. It's worth working for the city. Mostly my biggest thing is the retirement. Being able to know that I put in 30 years and a strong 30 years and have a good retirement at the end. The coolest thing for me is probably the personalities, the new people you meet between anybody that works for TPW order or even the police officers that come through. My favorite thing about working for Fleet is it's easy to promote. It's easy to take advantage of the things that they provide for us. Since I've been with the city, I've grown pretty much a lot. I started off as a back two, moved up to senior within a year and from there it's been pretty good. To any new team members just come in with the mindset that hard work pays off and strive for greatness. On a daily basis, we diagnose and repair the customer's vehicles as needed whether it is a minor repair or a major repair. What makes it worthwhile is being a part of a team and bringing your knowledge in and sharing your knowledge with others and taking the knowledge from others as well and using that information to repair the automobiles correctly. Meeting new people is probably one of the coolest things working for Fleet and being able to help somebody out in need when their vehicle is down. Working for Fleet at the end of the day when you've repaired a problem and you've got a unit back out on the street, you know that you've done your part as a member of the community to ensure that the units are in working order. Working for the city has allowed me to find a place within a team that accepts your knowledge and helps you grow. My best advice to a new team member would have them come in and just kind of get to know everybody and be able to share their knowledge to help repair the automobiles. My job description is basically I oversee two service centers. One is the body shop that oversees all the maintenance repairs on all city vehicles which is roughly over 4,000. I have three employees there and on the north side of Fort Worth and the second shop is Water Service Center and I have roughly over 20 employees, two shifts. All water department equipment is maintained there. What's worth working here is the knowledge that you learn, the different variety of equipment, the staffing that you deal with. It's all internal, all employees that drop off vehicles are city employees. So you build a relationship not only with the equipment but with employees. The knowledge that you learn not just from the techno skills you learn through the years of service but also from the fellow employees, the staffing and also what's available online and anything that the schooling and training that is available to us. The rewarding part to work for the division that I currently work for is it's not a very large group. It is spread out somewhat but there is a bond and it feels like more of a family after a sense. When you start working you get a better relationship, not just a working relationship but a family relationship. I started at the entry level 30 years ago. I worked up every level, a mechanic to, a senior, a crew leader, a supervisor and I was able to maintain several service centers, the police garage, the fire garage, the body shop, the water department, Southside Service Center. So I worked actually on every piece of equipment the city has owned and I've managed quite a few different people who have come and retired and that relationship I built has also lingered on to after retirement which I still have a relationship from those I worked in the past and those who moved on to other jobs. One of the best advice is ask questions and listen. Some of you have been around at least like myself 30 years. Somebody come in with one year, two years, ask a lot of questions. How did you make it for 30 years for the City of Fort Worth? Well, I listened a lot to those older than me with the advice they gave to me and it paid off because I'm still here.
