Fleet Budget

Do you know the real cost to employ a fleet mechanic or technician? At an average hourly wage* of $19.97, a diesel service technician or mechanic actually costs $30.72/hour to employ – with the hourly wage being only 65% of the story. Hire a technician too soon, and you may not have enough work to keep him or her busy. Hire too late, and you could disappoint customers. What a nightmare for your fleet budget.

Instead, imagine having a totally flexible workforce – adding skilled workers precisely when they are needed, and then easily removing them when things slow down. TransTechs, the transportation industry’s leading skilled technician staffing provider, can help you re-evaluate your fleet budget when it comes to staffing.

With a flexible workforce through TransTechs, you maximize productivity and can be assured of having the mechanics you need, when and where they are needed, without long-term commitments.
