Technician Spotlight: Phil O. Lead Diesel Technician- Caledonia, WI I started my journey by building hot rods with my buddy in the garage. What began as a fun hobby led me to pursue my passion at UTI, where I earned my Automotive and Diesel degree. After spending years in the automotive world, I found my way into a Kenworth shop and have been working in the diesel industry ever since. What I love about working at Mater Fleet is the culture of teamwork. It's inspiring to see upper management, from our Tractor Manager to the President, rolling up their sleeves and getting involved directly in the work—whether it's under the trucks or moving parts. To new employees: Be patient. Our work involves a learning curve because we’re not brand-specific. We work on all makes and models, and that variety can be challenging but rewarding. Looking ahead, my goal is to lead a shop or department within this industry in the next five years. I'm excited about the future and the opportunities ahead! #DieselTech #CareerJourney #HeavyDutyTrucks #Teamwork #FutureGoals

Hiring a diesel technician nowadays can be quite challenging. In fact, many fleets NTI works with have likened it to the difficulty of hiring a professional driver in 2021. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Amanda Schuier for an episode of Taking The Hire Road, where we dove into the intricacies of recruiting and retaining technicians compared to drivers. This is definitely one worth tuning in to! You can watch the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3WuVz42

This past week, I had a car issue that created a difficult conundrum in my flow because my life rhythms feel interrupted without MY car. (That’s a polite way of saying sh*t went sideways quick.) Like a condition that causes generalized body weakness, the parts of my whole life started to feel so much more challenging without MY car. MY car is part of “all systems go” for me as a wife/mom/businesswoman/friend/community member. It’s a “vehicle” for moving my meaningful decisions forward. So… Today, I put my spotlight on the “surgeons” in our Service Centers throughout this industry— our talented technicians. 🎥🛠️🔦 👆🏻Gratitude! Thank you all!☝🏻 * * * * * * * * * * People go to Service Centers for help when our cars seem “off” and sure we may bring our guesses, not knowing what is exactly wrong; we feel anxious, maybe even panic, and likely helpless. It’s often an emotional EXPERIENCE. And then those dedicated technicians spend quality time to properly diagnose our concerns, offer us a repair plan, and fix our problem. Bravo! 👏🏼♥️👏🏼 Cars make people’s lives work— I don’t know too many people who’d disagree. My own personal experience, a talented technician solving MY car problem, gave me an incredible sense of relief. And relief is a gift! Service Center— that word “service” is about PEOPLE not cars. This is meaningful business. ASOTU | More Than Cars
