Honoring the Unsung Heroes of Hauling: National Technician Appreciation Week

Corja & Blog

It’s easy to see the trucks on the road and overlook what makes them move. But without technicians, the entire transport system would grind to a halt. National Technician Appreciation Week, held from September 21 to 27, 2025, is the perfect time to recognize these essential professionals. Technology & Maintenance Council+2Magnum Companies+2

For over a decade, Corja Auto Hauling has depended on talented mechanics, diagnostics experts, and maintenance teams to ensure our rigs remain road-ready. Here’s how our technician team makes a difference and why you should join us in saying “thank you.”


What Technicians Do Behind the Scenes

  • Preventive Maintenance: They inspect brakes, suspension, engines, and electrical systems before every trip.

  • Troubleshooting & Repairs: When a rig has an issue en route, these techs diagnose problems quickly and get trucks back into service.

  • Diagnostics & Calibration: Modern carriers have complex systems—diagnostic tools, emissions checks, onboard computers—and techs keep them all in check.

  • Compliance & Safety: They ensure every vehicle meets DOT requirements, is within weight limits, and is safe to operate under load.

  • Upgrades & Retrofitting: When we adopt new tech or tougher emission standards, technicians lead the adaptation.


Why They Matter to You

  • Reliability & Delivery Confidence
    Your car depends on the truck arriving on time, and that requires the rig itself to be dependable. Technician work reduces breakdowns and delays.

  • Safety First
    Well-maintained trucks are safer on highways. Every repair or check helps prevent accidents involving your vehicle or others.

  • Efficiency & Cost Savings
    A properly running vehicle uses less fuel, has fewer repair costs, and maintains performance across the trip.


How We Celebrate at Corja

  • Shoutouts and recognition across our fleet

  • Small bonuses and tool gifts for our maintenance crew

  • Sharing stories of standout techs in our social media

  • Inviting them to meet with drivers & customers to spotlight their role

This week, we urge everyone to pause and thank the techs in this industry—at every yard, every service bay, every maintenance shop. Without them, none of our transports would roll.
