Diesel Road Technician – $104K+ Potential – Shop + Field Work (No Tire Calls)
Location: Cumberland, RI
Schedule: Monday–Friday + Rotating On-Call
Pay: $25–$50/hr (Based on Experience)
Earning Potential: $104,000+ annually
Pay Schedule: Weekly
Position Summary
Promotive is hiring an experienced Diesel Road Technician for a high-volume, well-equipped shop in Cumberland, RI — offering a rare mix of shop stability and road-side variety.
If you like the idea of not being stuck in the same bay all day — but also not living 100% on the road — this role hits the sweet spot. You’ll split time between a fully equipped shop and field service calls, tackling real diagnostic challenges (not just tire changes… seriously, no roadside tire work here).
This is a great fit for a technician who enjoys independence, problem-solving, and the satisfaction of being the one who shows up and gets it running.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform in-shop and roadside diagnostics and repairs on heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and diesel equipment
- Diagnose and repair diesel engines, emissions systems, and aftertreatment components
- Respond to breakdowns and complete preventive maintenance services
- Use diagnostic software and scan tools to accurately identify and resolve issues
- Document repairs clearly using shop management systems
- Communicate effectively with service advisors and team members
- Represent the shop professionally during road service calls
- Participate in a rotating on-call schedule for after-hours support
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience as a Diesel Technician (B-Level or higher)
- Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills across diesel systems
- Experience with heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and emissions systems
- Road service experience preferred
- Ability to work independently in field environments
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
Compensation & Benefits
- $25–$50/hr based on experience
- $104K+ annual earning potential
- Weekly pay (because breakdowns don’t wait, and neither should your paycheck)
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and sick time
- Paid holidays
- 401(k) with up to 3% company match
- Paid training and OEM/diesel certifications
- Uniforms provided and professionally laundered
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Best of both worlds: steady shop work + on-the-road variety
- No roadside tire jobs — you’re here for diagnostics and real repairs
- 11 fully equipped bays with modern lifts and alignment systems
- Advanced scan tools and up-to-date technology
- High weekly volume (100–150 vehicles) = consistent workflow
- Strong leadership that understands both shop and field operations
- Team-oriented, low-drama environment (yes, even with on-call rotations)
About the Shop

It’s a place where experienced diesel technicians can solve real problems, stay productive, and still make it home at a reasonable hour (most days).
If you’re ready to break up the routine, take on real-world challenges, and earn what your skills are worth…
Apply today and step into a Diesel Road Technician role that keeps things interesting — and pays you well to do it.
