You're <::>you're> be working Monday to Friday, with Saturdays available as overtime for those who want the extra earnings.

Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Why This Role Stands Out

You're not just fixing trucks - you're keeping a fleet moving. You're trusted, respected, and paid properly for your skill.
