Have you ever thought about a career as a Diesel and Trailer Technician? Are you tired of working hard at a dead-end J-O-B and no appreciation for your contributions? Do you want to feel proud of what you do and get on the path to a better and brighter future for you and your family? Did you take apart and put back together that pickup truck in your driveway? Does your compact have an exhaust pipe that is too loud and a spoiler with enough down force to keep you driving under the speed limit? (Looks nice though). Are you working as a lube tech or in another position in the maintenance shop, but your company does not provide education or tools? Then this is the opportunity of a lifetime! Cox Fleet, a national leader in mobile onsite fleet maintenance, is proud to announce open enrollment into our next FleeTec Academy class.

FleeTec Academy is a paid educational program that leads to a path to becoming one of our full-time Diesel and Trailer Technicians. It was established by us to help people get into the Commercial Maintenance field who otherwise might not be able to afford to spend over a year of their life at an expensive formal Technical School with all of the associated tuition debt and buy all of the necessary tools for the job without maxing out their credit card. That's right, we pay you to go through our program, we give you free education on fundamentals of Diesel and Trailer Repair and how to fix & repair Trucks and Trailers, along with a set of hand tools with toolbox, to get you on your way to be the best Technician out there! Sounds too good to be true. What is the catch, right? Here is what we ask from you in return: You must be willing to study hard (and we mean HARD!) for five (5) weeks of full-time schooling at our Academy Campus. Travel expenses are paid by us, along with your hotel accommodation, a stipend for meals, and a paycheck. Upon completion of the initial classroom phase, you will be paired up with a Lead Technician in your market for further hands-on training and offered an actual full-time job with us! Every so often you will be sent back for further classroom study to keep developing your skill set, and upon successful completion of the full multi-year program, you will be able to call yourself a Trailer Technician! Oh, and keep the tools.

To summarize:

• 5 weeks paid classroom training; all travel expenses paid.
• Free Technical Education
• Further hands-on training by one of our technicians and a full-time job with us as a Mobile Mechanic in your market.
• Our Mobile Technicians are assigned a state-of-the-art vehicle, with all the bells and whistles, which they use to perform vehicle repairs at our customers' locations. You are not going to be doing emergency truck repairs on a side of the road as part of your everyday duties, but rather go to our customers' locations to do preventative maintenance and general repairs onsite, so they can keep their vehicles running efficiently without having to take them to the shop.
• Real pay rates that you can afford to pay rent with and a predefined pathway for raises.

Pay Details:

• $16/h (or state minimum wages, whichever is greater) + $250 / stipend for 1st week (taxed)
• Then $21/h upon graduation from the 1st phase of training.
• Additional training and pay progression will be available.
