Garbage Truck Mechanic Jobs in Wisconsin: Pay & FAQs
How much do garbage truck mechanic jobs pay per hour?
Nationally, Diesel Mechanic / Fleet Technician roles in the waste industry average $30.00 per hour, about $63,000 a year. Most positions fall between $23.08 and $39.42 per hour; those hourly figures are converted from annual pay at 2,080 hours per year, not separately surveyed. Actual pay in Wisconsin varies by employer, route type, and contract. Check each listing for the posted rate.
Do garbage truck mechanic jobs pay overtime?
Mechanic pay is strongly overtime-driven. Trucks are serviced outside collection hours, breakdowns are unplanned, and shops routinely run overnight and weekend coverage, so premium hours plus shift differentials can lift actual annual earnings well above the base hourly rate. Tool allowances and boot stipends are common additions that do not show up in an hourly quote.
Can you get garbage truck mechanic jobs with no experience?
Fleet shops hire at two levels. Lead and A-level technician roles require proven heavy-truck experience and ASE certification, but most shops also run entry-level technician, lube-tech and apprentice positions that take candidates straight out of trade school, or with no formal training at all, and develop them on the floor. Employers commonly pay for ASE testing and hydraulic training once you are on staff, so the certifications listed below are more often earned during the job than required to get it.
Are garbage truck mechanic jobs union jobs?
Shop technicians at municipal fleets and at unionised private haulers are frequently covered by a collective bargaining agreement, often through a Machinists or Teamsters local. Union shops typically pay on a posted classification scale (apprentice through A-tech) with tool allowances and step increases written into the contract. Non-union shops are common too, so confirm which applies before comparing offers.
Are part-time garbage truck mechanic jobs available?
Shop technician work is overwhelmingly full-time because fleets need trucks turned around overnight. The flexibility in this role comes from shift choice (first, second and overnight shifts) rather than reduced hours, and night shifts often carry a premium.
