Mitchell 1 joined the Arkansas Trucking Association in their return to an in-person trucking championship that brought together 108 of the best drivers and 50 of the top technicians in the state. \u00a0Mitchell 1 operated the Service Information Skills station at ATA Return of Champions event, held June 23-25 in Rodgers, AR, which \u00a0tests competitors on their abilities to use online repair information to diagnose and fix maintenance problems they\u2019re \u00a0likely to encounter in their jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cMitchell 1\u2019s online programs make technicians more proficient, because all the information they need to correctly diagnose and fix any truck is instantly available,\u201d commented Kristy LaPage, business manager for Mitchell 1\u2019s commercial vehicle group who worked the service information station in Arkansas.<\/p>\n
\u201cSkilled technicians are a critical element to keeping fleets operating efficiently and freight moving and are a scarce resource for our industry,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s important to recognize their hard work and dedication through these competitions.\u00a0 It\u2019s really a pleasure to be part of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the event, drivers tested their skills in a pre-trip inspection competition, written exam and hands-on obstacle course at 14 stations.\u00a0At the Mitchell 1 Service Information station,\u00a0 Jesse Elmore of Doggett Freightliner came in first place and was also crowned the Truck Technician Grand Champion. Elmore, a Van Buren, Ark. resident, took home trophies in four stations.<\/p>\n
