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. TA will need tire and lube technicians, in-bay technicians and TechOn-SITE mobile truck maintenance team technicians, TA officials said in a press release.
“As we continue to build the trust of more and more professional drivers and fleets to keep their equipment rolling, we have seen increased demand for our services,” said Brian Lukavich, divisional vice president of TA Truck Service.
