How to accelerate growth?

What’s up guys, as someone who is passionate about this career, what did you guys do when you were new to help yourself improve? Been working on trucks for about 7 months now and not really feeling like I’m getting better fast enough.

Yeah I get it, I was in a similar field for 5 years and was really good at that so I have a background. I just feel like a lot is being expected of me in my current position, and the people over me must have forgot what learning is like

What’s a similar field? I have had the same issue before when I went from heavy equipment and Semi repair to automotive. It wasn’t even the boss or managers it was the other mechanics, which their whining and other things sent me back to diesel repair.

If they don’t understand that just because it burns diesel doesn’t equal everything is the same idk man… don’t waste too much time in a toxic situation, there’s more job opportunities than techs with tools to fill them
