Service

Jared Malone attended Universal Technical Institute in Houston, Texas, where he learned about the financial aspect of earning potential and career possibilities. This insight directed his career choice towards the commercial trucking industry. Once he graduated, the school provided hands-on training opportunities at a variety of manufacturers. He then came home to Georgia and applied to work at a large commercial truck dealership in Atlanta. He quickly landed a job as a diesel technician and spent the next eight years working there as well as foreman and assistant service manager.

That’s when he came to Peach State Truck Centers in Jefferson as a service manager. For six and a half years Jared excelled in this role. Then he was promoted to Vice President of Service. Jared describes himself as a pretty normal guy who likes all the usual stuff like football and an occasional pick-up game of basketball.
