Communication Matters
Technicians should not be left guessing about the customer concern, approval, parts status, or repair priority.
Now Hiring Diesel TechniciansAn Honest Invitation • Blair, Nebraska
An Open Letter to Diesel Technicians
For the technician who still cares about solving the problem, doing the repair correctly, and being proud of the truck that leaves the bay.The best technicians usually are not searching job boards every day. They are busy diagnosing electrical problems, tracing aftertreatment faults, repairing brakes and suspensions, and figuring out what everyone else could not.
But sometimes it is not the work that wears a good technician down. It is the shop around the work.

Maybe You Are Tired Of...
- Every job becoming an avoidable emergency
- Waiting on parts with no useful communication
- Being rushed while quality still carries your name
- Watching shortcuts become the normal process
- Feeling like your experience and ideas do not matter
We Get It.
At STS Truck Services, we are not pretending we are a perfect shop. We are saying something more honest: we are actively working to become a better one.
Good technicians deserve more than surviving another day.
They deserve clear information, dependable support, meaningful work, and a team that understands the difference between moving quickly and rushing a repair. They deserve a shop willing to identify what is not working and improve it.
We Are Building Something Different.
A stronger shop is created by the way people plan, communicate, document, repair, and hold one another accountable every day.
Diagnostics Matter
We value root-cause thinking, inspection findings, technician notes, photos, and repairs that address the actual failure.
Quality Matters
The truck leaving the shop carries the technician's reputation and ours. We want repairs completed safely, professionally, and correctly.
Improvement Matters
We are strengthening workflow, shop organization, customer communication, and the processes that support the people in the bays.
Great Technicians Are Craftsmen.
You do more than replace parts. You solve problems. You chase intermittent faults. You understand how one system affects another. You know when the easy answer is not the correct answer.
You explain what failed — and why.
You take pride in the details customers may never see.
You know that fixing it right protects safety, uptime, and trust.
Not Perfect.
Committed to Better.
We do not expect perfection from a technician, and we will not pretend the shop has nothing left to improve. We want people who care, communicate, keep learning, take ownership, and help the team get stronger.
- Clearer planning before the work begins
- Better communication about approvals and parts
- Stronger documentation and diagnostic support
- A team willing to improve the process
We are building the kind of shop we would want to work in.
The Technician We Hope to Meet

You Take Pride in the Repair
You would rather find the cause, document the work, and fix it correctly than send the same truck back out with a temporary answer.
You Communicate
You share findings, ask questions, document concerns, and understand that good communication protects everyone.
You Keep Learning
Modern trucks demand continued learning. You use diagnostic information, technical resources, experience, and curiosity together.
You Help Build the Team
You bring solutions, support coworkers, share useful knowledge, and want to leave the shop stronger than you found it.

We are deliberately not filling this page with vague promises. Compensation, schedule, tools, experience, and the details that matter to you belong in a direct, honest conversation.
A Career Conversation Should Work Both Ways.
You should have enough information to decide whether STS deserves your application—not merely whether you qualify for ours.
Start the Conversation
Call the shop or submit the non-driver application. Tell us what kind of work you do best and what you want from your next shop.
See the Environment
Arrange a visit, walk through the shop, look at the bays and equipment, meet the people, and ask direct questions.
Decide With Clear Information
Discuss expectations, experience, scheduling, compensation, and whether the opportunity makes sense for both sides.
Not ready to submit an application?
That is okay. Start with a private conversation and decide whether a shop visit is worth your time.
We Do Not Expect You to Believe Every Word on a Website.
Come visit. Walk through the shop. Meet the people. Look at the trucks and the bays. Ask hard questions about workflow, expectations, communication, equipment, scheduling, and the work we handle.
No pressure. No polished sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about what you want from the next chapter of your career and what we are working to build at STS.
If You Are Happy Where You Are...
We are genuinely glad. Good technicians deserve good employers, meaningful work, and a place where their contribution is respected.
If You Keep Thinking, “There Has to Be a Better Place...”
Maybe there is. Maybe it is here. The only way to know is to start the conversation.
We Are Not Looking for Someone to Simply Fill a Bay.
