About The Position

If you are a skilled welder who is serious about your craft and wants to work on specialized tanker trailers at one of the most respected shops in the Midwest, Universal Truck Service is hiring. Who We Are Universal Truck Service is a family-owned company that has been built on the belief that great service and quality are not a thing of the past.
