Many times, those big truckstops will hire anyone who has a tool box with tools along with a manger who has no truck backgorund.
Perfect example, stopped at a T/A last week for a air leak on my trailer, luckily got a mechanic who did know something and let me hang out in the bay. He had been there 9 years and was ready to leave because if the job involved more than an oil change, he had to do it because no one else knew how, the new manager was at corperate training and was coming from some industry that has nothing to do with trucks or truck repairs. He also told me that the "techs" at the T/A's work on commision, so the more trucks they run through a bay, the more $$$ they make.
