We pay for your fuel and your parts. You bring the truck and the skills. No shop. No clock to punch. You’re not grinding 50-hour weeks under fluorescent lights for someone else’s flat rate. The Work Dispatched through our 24/7 centralized dispatch to service major national fleet clients. Roadside and on-site diesel truck and trailer repairs: brake chambers and brake jobs, airlines, gladhands, tires, lights and 7-ways, air leak diagnosis, electrical troubleshooting, diagnostic scans, jump starts, and more. You get the call, roll to the site, fix the truck, move on. No shop. No service manager. No standing around. You’ll own the Harrisburg hub: I-81 from Carlisle through Harrisburg to Lebanon and Jonestown, I-83 down to York, I-76 and US-322 through Middletown and Hershey. That’s one of the busiest freight crossroads in the country, and our fleet clients run it every day. We already have the customers and the calls in this market. What we need is a tech who answers the phone and shows up. You’d be our only tech on the ground in Central PA, so you get first call on everything in it. This is a 24/7 on-call role. You tell us when you’re unavailable and we work around it. We don’t expect you to never sleep. But a lot of our PA calls come in Friday and Saturday nights, and the more available you are, the more jobs you get, and the more you earn.
