About J&A Fleet

J&A Fleet is a locally owned fleet maintenance and mobile repair company serving trucking and commercial vehicle operators across Illinois and Indiana.

We specialize in keeping trucks on the road and minimizing downtime through fast, reliable mobile service, honest diagnostics, and dependable repair solutions. Our team supports semi-trucks, tractor-trailers, and commercial fleets with emergency roadside repair, on-site maintenance, and fleet service programs.

We are built on communication, trust, and quality workmanship — and we’re growing.

What You’ll Be Doing

We are hiring Mobile Repair Technicians to perform field-based mechanical work, diagnostics, and maintenance on diesel and commercial vehicles.

You do NOT need to be a master diesel mechanic to apply — we are open to experienced mechanics from automotive, equipment, fleet, or heavy-duty backgrounds who are willing to learn and grow.

Responsibilities include:

• Perform mobile diagnostics and basic mechanical repairs on commercial vehicles
• Complete preventative maintenance (oil changes, fluid checks, inspections, etc.)
• Assist with brake work, component replacement, and system checks
• Perform DOT inspections (training provided if needed)
• Respond to roadside breakdowns and service calls
• Maintain safe work zones during roadside service
• Use tools and equipment safely and efficiently
• Document work performed and communicate updates clearly
• Participate in ongoing training and skill development

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a mechanic, technician, or similar hands-on repair role (diesel, automotive, fleet, equipment, or heavy-duty)
• Willingness to learn diesel systems and mobile diagnostics
• Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently in the field
• Valid driver’s license required
• Ability to lift up to 100 lbs
• Strong attendance, reliability, and professionalism
• Willingness to work in a fast-paced, roadside environment

What We Offer

• $21 – $50 per hour based on experience
• Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision)
• Paid time off and holidays
• Tool assistance program
• Boot reimbursement ($150/year)
• Safety glasses reimbursement ($175/year)
• HSA / FSA options
• Company-paid life insurance
• Short- and long-term disability coverage
• Training and advancement opportunities
• Year-round, stable work

Why Join J&A Fleet

• Mobile, real-world repair work (not stuck in a shop all day)
• Strong demand and consistent workload
• Hands-on training and growth into advanced diesel diagnostics
• Opportunity to build a long-term career in fleet service
