About this role & career path
Diesel techs in foodservice fleets build depth on powertrain, air brakes, emissions, and reefer systems. Paths often run lead tech → shop supervisor → fleet maintenance leadership, or specialty roles (APU, refrigeration, warranty). Large distributors like PFG value uptime, safety compliance, and multi-unit troubleshooting.
Build the skills for this role
Prioritize diesel diagnostics (electronic engines), air-brake and DOT inspection skills, hydraulic/electrical troubleshooting, and reefer basics. Strong PM discipline, parts documentation, and shop safety matter as much as wrench time. No specific certification catalog or costs were provided in the job data—verify CDL, ASE, or EPA 608 needs with the employer if required for their fleet.
- Walk through a hard diesel or reefer diagnosis you owned end-to-end.
- Explain how you prioritize PMs vs. breakdowns on a delivery fleet.
- Be ready on air brakes, emissions faults, and safety/DOT habits.
- Ask about shop hours, on-call, and mix of tractors vs. trailers/reefers.
Good fit if you like shop-floor diesel work supporting a large foodservice distributor (PFGC) in the Columbus/Grandview Heights area, care about fleet uptime, and prefer hands-on wrenching over office or remote roles.
