Benjamin Kirtley, 2025 Truck Technician Grand Champion.<\/p><\/div>\n

Once again, Mitchell 1 was honored to support the Service Information Skills station at the Arkansas Technician Championship<\/a>, held Friday, June 26, at the Embassy Suites Convention Center in Rogers, Arkansas. It\u2019s always a highlight for our team to take part in these competitions and see firsthand the incredible talent and dedication of the technicians who keep our industry moving.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s top honor at our station went to Benjamin Kirtley<\/strong> of J.B. Hunt, who not only earned the highest score at the Mitchell 1 station but also took home the title of Truck Technician Grand Champion. With his win, Benjamin secured a spot at the TMC SuperTech competition this fall, where he\u2019ll represent Arkansas on the national stage. As the Mitchell 1 station winner, he also received a $50 Visa gift card.<\/p>\n

The 2025 competition brought together 21 truck technicians and 17 trailer technicians, all of whom rotated through a series of challenging hands-on stations designed to test their knowledge, speed and problem-solving abilities. In the Trailer Technician competition, Jimmy Eichelberger<\/strong> claimed the top prize with a strong performance across all stations.<\/p>\n

At the Mitchell 1 station, technicians were tasked with diagnosing and solving real-world repair scenarios using our TruckSeries repair information software. It\u2019s always exciting to see competitors dive into the tool and use it to quickly find the information they need to complete a job accurately and efficiently.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve supported state and national technician skills competitions for many years, and it\u2019s something we truly value. These events give us a chance to celebrate the vital work technicians do every day and to demonstrate how the right tools \u2013 like TruckSeries \u2013 can make their jobs a little easier.<\/p>\n

TruckSeries<\/a> is Mitchell 1\u2019s all-in-one repair information software suite for Class 4-8 trucks, offering seamless access to labor estimating, diagnostic trouble codes, repair procedures, interactive wiring diagrams, ADAS resources, and more\u2014all from a single login.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Benjamin and all the competitors! We\u2019re already looking forward to next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
