Prompt 81 / Diesel / Fleet Repair Shop0/0 filled

Unsafe Vehicle Release Boundary

You are writing the shop's policy for what happens when a customer wants a truck back that should not go: [the scenarios, e.g., "a defect meeting out-of-service criteria, a repair left incomplete because approval was declined, a unit whose brakes are within legal limits but marginal, and a customer who wants to drive it 'just to the yard'"]. Decide this in writing now, because at the counter with a driver waiting is the worst possible time to work it out.
Your input: 0 blanks. The other 80 words do the thinking for you.

Shop Bay Schedule Optimizer

You are building next week's bay plan: [your capacity, e.g., "4 bays, one with a lift rated for tandems, 5 technicians — two A-level, two B-level, one apprentice — and 38 available technician-hours a day"]. The work in front of you: [the queue, e.g., "two PM-Bs, one injector job awaiting parts due Wednesday, an in-progress brake job at 60%, three diagnostic slots to hold, and a fleet customer expecting two units in on Tuesday"]. Produce the week as a grid, bay by bay, day by day.
Your input: 0 blanks. The other 86 words do the thinking for you.

Diesel Technician Job Ad

You are writing the job posting for a diesel technician in a market where every shop within an hour has the same opening: [the role, e.g., "A-level heavy-duty technician, day shift, medium and heavy duty mixed, pay band $32–$40/hr depending on certification and diagnostic ability, plus overtime after 40"]. The reader is currently employed, reasonably paid, and reading this on a phone in a break room. Write the posting. Lead with pay — an ad without a number is skipped by exactly the technicians you want, and everyone knows why it was left out.
Your input: 0 blanks. The other 94 words do the thinking for you.

Can't I just ask ChatGPT to write these myself?

You can — the way you can write your own contracts. Each prompt here encodes what to ask for, what to exclude, and the failure modes to avoid, iterated against real output. $29 skips that work for every job on this page.
