Hiring and Retaining Diesel Technicians
Posted on 08/04/2023 03:11 PM
In the rapidly evolving commercial transportation industry, the demand for skilled diesel mechanics is at an all-time high. These essential professionals play a critical role in keeping trucks and equipment running smoothly, efficiently and, most importantly, dependably. However, finding and hiring qualified diesel mechanics has become a significant challenge for many companies in the field.
One of the primary challenges in hiring diesel mechanics is the shortage of qualified candidates. As the transportation sector continues to grow, the demand for skilled mechanics is outpacing the supply of trained professionals. Many experienced diesel mechanics are nearing retirement age, creating a skills gap that the industry struggles to fill. Additionally, as technology advances, the role of diesel mechanics is evolving, requiring a new set of skills that may not be readily available in the current labor market.

In a world of rapid change, evolving work dynamics and shifting economic landscapes, it’s an extraordinary achievement for an individual to celebrate 30 years at a single company. Dave Gurska, Aim Integrated Logistics’ Chief Operating Officer, recently marked three decades of unwavering dedication and commitment to Aim Transportation Solutions.
Let’s rewind to 1991, right before Dave’s 30-year journey at Aim began. Dave’s education in business administration from Penn State-Behrend set the stage for him to start work for his father’s startup company.
