With Her Two Hands

Guest:  Missy Dutto - Auto and Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technician
Fantastic chat with Missy Dutto who shared her journey from a daddy’s girl who grew up doing paint and body with her father for as long as she can remember (and probably earlier!) to where she is now as the only mechanic at the water company she works for, and as an instructor at the same school she graduated from. Well, the second school. She went to Wyo Tech for collision and upholstery and the Skyline College for automotive. Missy was candid about her experiences, both the good and the bad. And incredibly honest and humble in admitting what, I believe, is true for so many of us - that it is not having confidence in ourselves that so often is the biggest thing holding us back.

Haley Ingle is currently a Heavy Equipment Mechanic at CAT, but her journey to get there has been anything but ordinary. She grew up working on boats and four-wheelers, developing a hands-on passion for mechanics at an early age. She broke into the industry by landing a job at a local off-road shop, starting with sweeping floors before working her way up through parts and service and eventually turning wrenches herself. While gaining hands-on experience, she also attended technical college to further her skills. Over the years, Haley built an impressive resume, working for industry giants like Peterbilt and Kenworth. In addition to her career, she actively contributes to the Alabama Trucking Association and a local technical college, helping shape the next generation of technicians.
