If you know trailers inside and out and take pride in uptime, this is your lane.

Why This Role Matters

Every mile our drivers run depends on one thing: equipment that performs.

We operate a modern, asset-based fleet with 300 trucks and 500 trailers. No outsourcing. No guesswork. Our shop team keeps freight moving with precision.

As a Master Trailer Technician, you are not just turning wrenches. You are protecting safety, compliance, and delivery timelines.

  • 2+ years of hands-on diesel or trailer repair experience
  • Strong understanding of air systems, electrical systems, and suspension components
  • Familiarity with diagnostic tools and shop software
  • Valid driver’s license (CDL is a plus)
  • Ability to lift up to 75 lbs and work in a shop setting
  • Safety-first mindset and attention to detail

If you’ve led other techs or trained junior mechanics, that’s a plus.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Pay range: Based on experience (you name your rate)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off + holidays
