Peterbilt Adds Technician Institute Campus
Peterbilt Motors Co. announced the opening of its fifth Peterbilt Technician Institute campus, in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
Since launching in 2013, the PTI program has graduated more than 600 factory-certified technicians and boasts a 95% placement rate at a Peterbilt service location. Each PTI student earns 12 Peterbilt certifications as well as certifications for the Paccar MX-11 and MX-13 engines as they prepare for a career in the diesel industry. PTI is a collaborative program with Universal Technical Institute, according to the Denton,Texas-based company, a unit of Paccar Inc.
“The 50% growth of the Peterbilt dealer network this decade ensures that there are plenty of long-term career opportunities with our dealers, many of which begin as a diesel technician,” PTI program manager Brian Brooks said in a company release.
Peterbilt has about 380 North American dealer locations. — Transport Topics
