Designed for: In-house technicians, shop-based diesel mechanics, field service technicians, and maintenance personnel responsible for servicing and repairing trucks, trailers, and related equipment.
Diesel mechanics are critical to keeping freight moving and fleets compliant — but not every technician is cut out for the demands of the role. The Star Behaviors Diesel Mechanic Assessment identifies the Qualities, Core Values, and Behaviors that separate the dependable, detail-driven mechanics from those who may cause delays, cut corners, or burn out quickly.
This assessment evaluates behavioral traits such as problem-solving ability, personal responsibility, consistency, patience, technical curiosity, and pride in workmanship. It also gauges how well a candidate will respond to structure, handle pressure, follow safety protocols, and maintain focus on long-term reliability rather than short-term fixes.
Downtime, repeat repairs, and safety violations can cost fleets thousands — and often stem from hiring technicians who are a poor behavioral fit, not a lack of technical skill. With this assessment, maintenance managers, shop supervisors, and HR teams can make smarter, more confident hiring decisions and reduce mechanic-related service disruptions.
By using the Diesel Mechanic Assessment early in the hiring process, you ensure you’re investing in individuals who take ownership, stay engaged, and are committed to quality — day in and day out.
