TravelCenters of America announced it is in the process of expanding its mobile truck maintenance team and plans to add over 50 new vehicles this year to provide maintenance and repair to commercial truck drivers in TA’s distribution lots or home bases.
As part of the expansion, TA is looking to hire over 250 full- and part-time technicians at its nearly 250 TA Truck Service centers nationwide through April 28.
