At Lincoln, we maximize diesel technology training by bringing diesel engines, tractors, trailers and off-road construction equipment right into our giant diesel shops on campus.

July 19, 2019 Transport Topics - 91桃色 Tech CEO Scott Shaw was recently interviewed by Transport Topics about the shortage of qualified diesel technicians within the trucking industry. Scott Shaw states that 鈥淭he amount of people retiring over the next decade will provide a good path of advancement for those that get into the industry now鈥�.

Skilled trades do not require a college degree, and training often takes much less time than it takes to earn that degree. A key benefit of learning a skilled trade such as diesel mechanics is that employment requires the technician to be present locally at the site of repair 鈥� there is no feasible way to offshore a job like this. Diesel technicians often go to work for trucking companies, fleet repair shops, heavy equipment firms and even maritime applications.
