This is a role for someone who knows diesel work inside and out and wants more than just turning wrenches forever.

As the Diesel Truck and Trailer Service Manager, you will run the shop, set the standard, and shape the next generation of technicians—using real work, real equipment, and modern computer-based training (CBT). You will spend your time solving problems, improving systems, and making sure work is done right the first time.

This role is ideal for a seasoned technician who enjoys leading by example, keeping the shop running smoothly, and taking pride in seeing others succeed—without sitting in a classroom or dealing with corporate nonsense.
