Upon completion of the initial classroom phase, you will be paired up with a Lead Technician in your market for further hands-on training and offered an actual full-time job with us! Every so often you will be sent back for further classroom study to keep developing your skill set, and upon successful completion of the full multi-year program, you will be able to call yourself a Diesel Technician! Oh, and keep the tools.

• 4 weeks paid classroom training; all travel expenses paid.
• Free Technical Education.
• Further hands-on training by one of our technicians and a full-time job with us as a Mobile Diesel Mechanic in your market.
• Our Mobile Technicians are assigned a state-of-the-art vehicle, with all the bells and whistles, which they use to perform vehicle repairs at our customers’ locations.
• Real pay rates that you can afford to pay rent with and a predefined pathway for raises.
• $13.08/h (or state minimum wages, whichever is greater) + $250/wk stipend (taxed).
• $19/h after that for 6 weeks.
• Then 2nd class for 4 weeks at Indy at $19/h + $250/wk (taxed).
• Then + $1/h upon graduation.

Here is what you bring to the table:

• Desire to start a career as a Diesel & Trailer Technician and become one of our Mobile Mechanics.
• Willingness and ability to study hard.
• Dedicate four (4) weeks away from home to be with us.
• Maturity level to focus on the task at hand.
