Own the uptime mission

Picture a tractor-trailer arriving with an intermittent electrical fault and a driveline vibration. You connect JPRO, consult OEM Diagnostic Software on a Windows laptop, confirm readings with a multimeter, and map a repair plan. After completing lube and filter service, you perform a DOT inspection to FMCSA standards, then R&R a clutch and address a steering component to return the unit to service with confidence.

Your impact

  • Troubleshoot and resolve electrical and mechanical issues on tractors and trailers using standard testing procedures and computer diagnostics (JPRO, OEM systems) with multimeters.
  • Execute comprehensive preventive maintenance for fleet tractors and trailers.
  • Perform DOT inspections in full compliance with FMCSA guidelines.
  • Deliver complete PM care: lubrication, filter changes, and inspections—ensuring interior/exterior appearance standards and cab safety/security checks are met.
  • Carry out foundational electrical repairs, replacing starters, alternators, and batteries.
  • Inspect and replace basic engine components; conduct transmission and clutch R&R; service driveline components.
  • Remove and replace steering and chassis components.

Tools you’ll command

  • JPRO and OEM Diagnostic Software
  • Multimeters and standard diagnostic procedures
  • Windows-based diagnostic workstation

Physical readiness

  • Lift and/or pull 50 lbs without restriction.
  • Comfortably stand or lie for extended periods.
  • Maintain the flexibility needed to reach equipment and components.

If solving problems, safeguarding compliance, and restoring performance are your strengths, this role puts them to work every day.
