Body Shop Painter / Prepper / All-Around Worker - Location: Roseville, MN | $1,500 Sign-On Bonus

Who We Are

Universal Truck Service is a family-owned company that has grown from a small New Brighton shop in 2000 into a multi-location operation serving the Twin Cities trucking industry. The founders started Universal Truck Service in 2000, with the purchase of a small failing shop in New Brighton. Over the years our success and growth has led us to Roseville and a 68,000 square foot facility with a complete 18 bay truck shop and state-of-the-art bodyshop as well as our new Tanker and Trailer repair facility just 10 minutes north in New Brighton.

Universal Truck Service was founded on the belief that great service and quality are not a thing of the past.
