Where would I work?

A Shop Supervisor/Foreman will work in larger truck/trailer maintenance facilities across the country. These can range from independent shops to large integrated maintenance facilities that are an important part of a carrier's operation.

Working on trucks can be dirty and physically demanding. Most shops provide coveralls and/or shop uniforms, and some provide safety footwear and other personal protective equipment. Whether or not your employer provides you with the necessary uniforms or protective gear, it's your responsibility to stay safe at all times.

As the Shop Supervisor/Foreman, it's also your responsibility to make sure your staff is working safely and using the appropriate protective equipment.
