- 4–6 current ASE certifications, preferably in the Medium/Heavy Truck (T-series) group, such as T2 Diesel Engines, T4 Brakes, T5 Suspension & Steering, T6 Electrical/Electronic, and T8 PMI.
- Strong diesel diagnostic skills with software such as Cummins INSITE, Detroit DiagnosticLink, Allison DOC, or JPRO.
- Air brake and hydraulic system experience required.
