Technician Spotlight: Roger M. How did you start working in the maintenance industry? In high school, I took a couple of classes in this field, and after joining the military, I have been working in maintenance ever since. What do you enjoy about your shop or working at MF? I appreciate the team cohesion and how we come together as a family to solve problems on a piece of equipment. What advice do you have for a new employee? Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if you don't know the answer. Many people are afraid to ask questions, but it's the biggest thing to learn. What do you wish others knew about what it's like to be a technician? I wish people knew that there is a distinction between a technician and a mechanic. A technician is capable of diagnosing a technical issue and resolving it, whereas a mechanic is typically given a solution to repair what's in front of them. What are your future goals? I aspire to become a Trailer Manager while also gaining more knowledge in the diesel side, so that I can provide support for both the trailer and tractor. This cross-training will help me be a better leader and an essential part of the team.

While a fleet may have made the final decision to do an engine overhaul, selected what procedure they want to do, and acquired all the proper parts, one last piece remains: Finding a technician to do the job. One option is a rebuilder that's within the service network of the brand for your engine, with many providers offering multi-year warranties with their overhauls. Or you can go to a shop that can handle overhauls for multiple engine brands, such as Blaine Brothers , who sends their technicians to Cummins classes for specific makes, models, and EPA years to make sure they're prepared for the job. “It’s a very skilled job that you can’t just give to anybody,” said Jason Kendrick, director of service operations. “Those specialists are the techs who are sent to training classes.” For more on how to find and train a technician to handle your overhauls, see below. #engine #truckingindustry #technician #training
