This analysis is directed at the truck & transport mechanic who inspects, trouble-shoots, repairs, replaces, and maintains operating systems & components of buses, motor homes, tankers, and different types of trucks that are over 4,500 gross vehicle weight. The analysis identifies tasks and sub-tasks performed by such a mechanic, arranged in blocks of distinct operations relevant to that occupation. These blocks include workplace safety, basic occupational skills, chassis & frames, air systems, brakes & steering, electrical & electronic systems, cab & body, engine & supporting systems, drive trains, and accessories. For each task, the document outlines the element of skill and knowledge needed to perform the task adequately, identifies any shifts or changes in technology that affect the task, lists tools and equipment required for the task, and provides an indication of whether the task has been validated by each province and territory. The appendix includes a list of tools and equipment used in the occupation, and a tabulation of the percentage of time a worker spends performing each block and task in a given year (by province/territory and for Canada as a whole).

BUMPER TO BUMPER(R), The Diesel Mechanics Student's Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations, reaches the forgotten commercial motor vehicle drivers-diesel mechanics who often find themselves behind the wheel of the tractors they fix. It bridges the gap between the mechanic and the truck driver by providing a driver's perspective of the tractor-trailer. Written to give the diesel mechanics student a thorough understanding of how the total unit of a tractor and trailer operates when connected, The Diesel Mechanics Student's Guide shows how and why trucks are to be inspected, maintained, and operated to promote safety and cost effective maintenance programs. It also teaches the safety aspects of driving, working around, and operating a tractor-trailer and includes information about the commercial driver's licensing and testing program, tractor-trailer equipment, industry regulations, and standards. It is designed to meet industry standards for training set by the Department of Transportation and national accrediting bodies. Easy to read, The Diesel Mechanics Student's Guide to Tractor-Trailer Operations begins with an introduction to diesel mechanics careers available in the motor transport industry. The next 11 chapters introduce heavy diesel tractors and trailers and their components. Four more chapters explain the handling of tractor-trailer combinations. This is followed by chapters covering vehicle inspections, preventive maintenance, air conditioning systems, and emissions. Over a hundred original illustrations enhance and support the text. End-of-chapter tests and an extensive index are also included.
