Apprentice Tractor Mechanic Jobs in Minnesota (NOW HIRING)

Class 8 Trucks & Trailers | Mobile Service Truck Provided |

Are you a diesel mechanic who enjoys troubleshooting, staying busy, and working with modern equipment—not spending all day doing major engine teardowns? Join a stable, family-owned company that values its technicians and provides the tools, equipment, and support you need to succeed.

As a Diesel Mechanic, you'll keep our fleet operating safely and efficiently through preventative maintenance, diagnostics, and light-to-moderate repairs on Class 8 trucks and trailers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Performing routine PM services on Class 8 tractors and trailers
• Diagnosing and repairing mechanical, electrical, and air system issues
• Servicing brakes, tires, lighting, sensors, and air lines
• Completing minor engine and trailer repairs, including walking floor trailers
• Working both in the shop and in the field using a fully equipped service truck
• Maintaining accurate service documentation and inspection records
• Ensuring equipment is DOT-compliant, safe, and road-ready

Whether you're an experienced technician or a newer mechanic looking to grow your skills, we'd love to hear from you.

Required:

• Diesel mechanic experience (entry-level through seasoned technician)
• Experience with PMs, brakes, tires, and basic diagnostics
• Knowledge of electrical and air brake systems
• Ability to work independently and solve problems in the field
• Valid driver's license

Preferred:

• Experience working on Class 8 trucks and trailers
• Hydraulic and pneumatic system knowledge
• Warranty repair and dealership coordination experience

✅ Competitive Pay: $27–$43+/hr based on experience

✅ Modern Fleet: Newer equipment with much of the fleet still under warranty, meaning less major repair work

✅ No Seasonal Layoffs: Stable, family-owned company with consistent year-round work

✅ Take-Home Service Truck: Fully equipped mobile service truck provided for field work

✅ Clean, Organized Shop: Work in an environment designed for productivity and safety

✅ Flexible Scheduling: Choose from 4x10s or 5x8s on 2nd shift (starting around 11:00 AM)

✅ Independence & Variety: Split your time between shop work and mobile repairs—no two days are the same

• If you're looking for a long-term opportunity with excellent equipment, steady work, and a company that values skilled mechanics, apply today and bring your expertise to a team where your work truly makes a difference.
