Job description

Equal opportunity Employer - Disabled/Veterans encouraged to Apply****

Cox Fleet keeps your fleet moving! Headquartered in Indianapolis, Cox Fleet has grown to become one of the largest fleet maintenance companies in the country. Cox Fleet is the leading provider of on-site mobile maintenance and repair services nationwide, offering mobile on-site fleet service for light medium, and heavy-duty trucks and trailers. Cox Fleet also services customers utilizing its 50+ nationwide service centers; each offering accident repair, painting, refurbishment, and heavy mechanical repair. We are supported by a 24/7 in-house call-center and provide scheduled maintenance services and unscheduled services to fleets anywhere, anytime.

• Have you ever thought about a career as a Trailer Technician?


• Are you tired of working hard at a dead‑end J-O-B 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?

Sounds too good to be true. What is the catch, right? Here is what we ask from you in return: You must be willing to study hard (and we mean HARD!) for four (4) weeks of full‑time schooling at our Academy Campus. Travel expenses are paid by us, along with your hotel accommodation, a stipend for meals, and a paycheck. 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 Trailer Technician! Oh, and keep the tools.

To Summarize

• 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 Trailer 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. You are not going to be doing emergency truck repairs on a side of the road as part of your everyday duties, but rather go to our customers' locations to do preventative maintenance and general repairs onsite, so they can keep their vehicles running efficiently without having to take them to the shop.


• Real pay rates that you can afford to pay rent with and a predefined pathway for raises.

Pay Details

• $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 $21/h upon graduation.

Sounds like something you might be interested in.

Here Is What You Bring To The Table

• Desire to start a career as a Trailer Technician and become one of our Mobile Mechanics.


• Bring a willingness and ability to study hard.


• Dedicate 4 weeks away from home to be with us.


• Maturity level to focus on the task at hand. This is not a summer camp, but a start of your career path.


• Technical aptitude and a passion for fixing vehicles.


• Ability to operate iPad.


• This position follows regulations issued by the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Candidate must be able to successfully complete and pass a DOT-regulated pre-employment background screening and DOT physical prior to employment.


• A current and valid DOT medical card with more than four (4) months remaining until its expiration may be submitted in leu of a DOT physical. If the DOT medical card has four (4) months or less of validity remaining, a DOT physical will be required.


• Due to interstate operating authority commerce regulations, candidates must be at least 21 years or older.


• Safe drivers needed; valid driver's license required. Candidate must hold a valid state‑of‑residence driver's license, be able to obtain and maintain their Driver Qualification File.


• High School Diploma or an equivalent combination of education is preferred but not required.


• We conduct background checks, driving records checks, pre-employment drug testing and physical.
