Be the Go-To Diagnostic Expert: Diesel Truck Technician III at Lawrence Companies

Tired of flat rate, warranty clocks, and chasing hours? At Lawrence Companies, you’re paid for every hour you work on a fleet you’ll get to know, at a company you’ll own a piece of. We are seeking an experienced **Diesel Truck Technician III** (Class A) to join our maintenance and repair team in Roanoke, Virginia.
