Career Opportunity

Have you ever thought about a career as a Trailer Technician? Are you tired of working hard at a dead-end job and no appreciation for your contributions? Do you want to feel proud of what you do and get on the path to a better and brighter future for you and your family? Did you take apart and put back together that pickup truck in your driveway? Does your compact have an exhaust pipe that is too loud and a spoiler with enough down force to keep you driving under the speed limit? (Looks nice though). Are you working as a lube tech or in another position in the maintenance shop, but your company does not provide education or tools? Then this is the opportunity of a lifetime!

That’s right, we pay you to go through our program, we give you free education on fundamentals of Trailer Repair and how to fix & repair Trailers, along with a set of hand tools with toolbox, to get you on your way to be the best Trailer Technician out there!

To summarize: 5 weeks paid classroom training; all travel expenses paid. Free Technical Education.

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.
