Step into the heart of our fast‑paced manufacturing plant, where every task drives progress. In this hands‑on role, you’ll be on your feet - standing for extended periods, walking, and using your hands to operate tools and equipment with precision. Clear communication is key, so you’ll be regularly required to talk and listen as part of a safety‑focused, team‑driven environment. You’ll also lift up to 35 pounds and perform physical movements like bending, squatting, reaching overhead, and occasionally crawling in tight spaces. Repetitive hand tasks and climbing ladders or working at heights are part of the role.
With over 70 years leading the truck body industry, Morgan Truck Body is where innovation meets tradition. From electric vehicles to custom refrigerated units, we build it all - and we do it with passion and precision.
We offer:
- Competitive pay and full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life)- your health matters
- 401(k) with company match - because your future matters
- Tuition reimbursement and leadership development to boost your career
- Paid holidays and vacation time - we know balance is key
- Exclusive discounts on footwear, eyewear, and safety gear- because we care about your safety
Join a team where your impact is real, your growth is limitless, and your work fuels the future of transportation!
At Morgan Truck Body, our shared values aren’t just words on a wall - they’re the heart of everything we do. They fuel our success, shape our culture, and guide how we show up for each other, our customers, and the future of transportation.
We recognize and value the individuals behind the build - the makers, thinkers, and problem‑solvers who drive our success every day.
Doing the right thing isn’t optional - it’s how we operate, always. Honesty, accountability, and respect guide every decision.
We show up, step up, and get it done. Our commitment to performance means exceeding expectations and raising the bar — for ourselves and our customers.
We love what we build - and it shows. From the factory floor to the front office, we bring energy, innovation, and pride to every product that rolls out of our doors.
At Morgan Truck Body, part of the J.B. Poindexter & Co. family, we’re committed to building a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to succeed.
We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and celebrate diverse perspectives and do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind - regardless of race, color, religion, age, gender, national origin, disability status, genetics, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by law.
This commitment applies to every part of your journey with us - from hiring and promotions to compensation, training, and beyond.
Diversity drives innovation. Inclusion fuels our strength. At Morgan, everyone belongs.
