    Tractor-Trailer.net also tests a technician’s working knowledge of electronic service manuals.

    Mitchell 1 is counted among the original participants when the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) of the American Trucking Assns. first organized their National Technician Skills Competition.

    “State maintenance councils, as well as the national TMC, really appreciate companies such as Mitchell 1 who help us test our technicians on the challenging skills they need to maintain our increasingly sophisticated equipment,” said Mike Jeffress, vp of maintenance for Maverick Transportation and past general chairman of the Arkansas Trucking Assn. “We couldn’t put on the level of competition we do in Arkansas without their participation.”
