Our fleet is the backbone of the business with 30+ vehicles and growing, from diesel pump trucks to service vans to heavy equipment. The Opportunity Own the Fleet. Vacuum/pump trucks, a growing lineup of Transit and Promaster vans, and every piece of vocational gear that keeps them running. You should know these trucks and all their quirks. Obsess over uptime. We want someone who feels it personally when a truck is down & already thinking about the fix on the drive in, not waiting for a work order. Hands-on, no bureaucracy. If something needs fixing, you fix it. No red tape between you and the wrench. Family-owned, high standards. Not corporate, but we expect the kind of professionalism and accountability that comes from someone who genuinely cares about the equipment. Be part of growth.
