🚛 HIRING NOW
A truck breaks down.
A trailer loses brakes.
A motor coach develops an electrical problem.
Heavy equipment won’t start.
The customer doesn’t need someone to tell them what’s wrong.
We’re looking for an experienced Diesel Road Service Technician who can bring the tools, diagnostics, experience, and problem-solving ability directly to the customer.
You’ll perform roadside repairs on:
🚛 Heavy-Duty Trucks
⚙️ Trailers
🚌 Motor Coaches
🏗️ Heavy Equipment
🔧 Gas & Diesel-Powered Commercial Vehicles
From emergency repairs to advanced diagnostics, you’ll be the technician customers and Dispatch count on to figure it out, fix it right, and get the equipment moving again.
Road service demands more.
More independence.
More versatility.
More problem-solving.
More responsibility.
And the opportunity to earn should reflect that.
This position combines a strong hourly rate with a competitive commission structure, giving productive technicians the opportunity to build serious annual earnings.
There’s no lift waiting for you.
No perfectly controlled shop environment.
No parts counter 20 feet away.
You bring the repair operation to the breakdown.
That means showing up prepared, assessing the problem, running diagnostics, developing a repair plan, finding the parts you need, and completing the repair safely in the field.
You need technical ability.
You need independence.
You need resourcefulness.
And when the first solution doesn’t work...
🔹 Perform emergency roadside assistance, service, diagnostics, and repairs
🔹 Diagnose and repair trucks, trailers, motor coaches, and heavy equipment
🔹 Perform brake repairs and service
🔹 Troubleshoot and repair electrical systems
🔹 Handle tire removal and installation
🔹 Perform engine and powertrain repairs
🔹 Complete advanced troubleshooting and diagnostic work
🔹 Diagnose and repair A/C systems
🔹 Diagnose and service emissions systems
🔹 Source necessary parts when they aren’t immediately available in inventory
🔹 Test-drive trucks, trailers, and equipment when needed to verify repairs
🔹 Follow all required safety procedures and roadside protocols
🔹 Maintain constant communication with Dispatch, Parts Counter Specialists, and Management
🔹 Process customer payments by credit card terminal when required
🔹 Handle customer concerns calmly, quickly, and professionally
🔹 Submit documentation, receipts, invoices, and service paperwork promptly
🔹 Keep your assigned service truck clean, organized, stocked, and professional
🔹 Wash and maintain your truck during available downtime
🔹 Report service-truck or equipment problems to management immediately
🔹 Follow proper accident and incident procedures when necessary
🔹 Maintain a clean and safe mobile workspace
🔹 Assist with additional road-service needs as assigned
A fault code gives you a place to start.
Road service requires a technician who can think through the entire problem.
What failed?
Why did it fail?
Is it electrical?
Mechanical?

If you read that list and thought...
Road Service Technicians spend a lot of time independently in the field.
But great road service depends on communication.
What did you find?
How long will it take?
Do you need additional support?
What failed?
What do you need?
Where can we find it?
Is there a safety concern?
Is your service truck ready?
Does something need immediate attention?
What happened?
Can you repair it?
What happens next?
The best technicians don’t disappear once they leave the shop.
Their truck is down.
Their schedule is blown.
Their delivery may be late.
Their equipment isn’t making money.
Then you arrive.
Stay calm.
Explain what you found.
Give them confidence.
Do the repair correctly.
Treat their equipment with respect.
Both matter.
It could be hot.
Cold.
Dark.
Wet.
Busy.
Loud.
The truck could be sitting somewhere you’d never choose to work on it.
Traffic could be moving a few feet away.
And you still have to think clearly and work safely.
That’s why road service isn’t for every technician.
Commercial equipment doesn’t schedule breakdowns for convenient hours.
That means this role requires flexibility.
📅 Weekend availability is a must
📞 On-call availability is required
⏰ Additional schedule flexibility may be needed based on service demand
If you want every workday to look exactly the same, this probably isn’t your seat.
