• Working knowledge of DOT vehicle inspection, maintenance, and safety requirements.
• Ability to identify conditions that could place a commercial vehicle out of service.
• Ability to perform hands-on mechanical work with limited supervision.
• Ability to read inspection reports, repair estimates, service records, and diagnostic information.
• Strong organization, communication, and follow-through.
