Why Join Cox Fleet's FleeTec Academy?

• 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!

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 / wk. stipend the first week (taxed)
• Then $21/h upon graduation from the 1st phase of training.
• Additional training and pay progression will be available.

Sounds like something you might be interested in. Apply now! Our class size is kept extremely small to ensure we can dedicate the time teaching our future technicians properly. We only have one spot in each geographical market we hire, so it will be competitive. Could that next hire, be you?

Here is what you bring to the table:

• Desire to start a career as a Diesel and Trailer Technician and become one of our Mobile Mechanics.
• Bring a willingness and ability to study hard.
• Dedicate 5 weeks away from home to be with us.
