Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's 250 team is looking for an experienced truck driver to join their operation for the upcoming season.
Additionally, they're also seeking an additional mechanic for their program.
Both positions require prior experience in the intended field. If you're interested and feel like you fit the bill, send your resume to Wil Hahn at Mxwilbur266@yahoo.com
I can think of a truck driver the top of my head, has MX experience to boot!
Profesh! Paging Profesh
Profeshinal might need Bobby to buy him out of his contract with the Russians 💀

Times must be tough when teams can’t find mechanics. Or it’s the pay…..
Yep. You would think that any openings like this would be quickly filled from within the industry.
I laughed at all Professionals stories thinking they are fake about all the foreign drivers. The last few months have changed my mind. He is telling the truth. Maybe this job would be perfect for him.
I bet its a really interesting job if you are a driver and into the sport. I bet they don't pay that well though. I wonder if it is interesting enough that someone could vlog about their week as another view of the sport...
I think he might have a difficult time getting past the drug screening for this role.
Except that dude would try to convince the 250 team to switch over to 2004 CR125s. 😆
I'm just here for Wil Hahn's email
A pretty niche job really, if you want to be a truck driver and are okay with being away from home that much you can probably make more money elsewhere and not have to set up and tear down tents and toolboxes and cook for people all weekend.
But if its the right fit for you its pretty damn sweet, id imagine these are nicer rigs than 90% of other truck drivers are driving too.
I still have a ways to go, but I’ve been thinking about this as a retirement job. Pay wouldn’t really be an issue and if I can take the wife along, we would be set!
Pay, schedule, hours, away from family. It is not as glamorous as it seems.
Being a family man, I couldn't imagine living life on the road like that.
Other hand, it could be awesome for a young guy who loves the sport and also knows how to work his ass off. Those drivers do an awful lot for the team.
Thankless job too. Lot of pressure and you take alot of heat if there is a mechanical or a bike failure. Honestly, really only makes sense for a younger person who just wants to be a "part" of the industry or work their way into a team situation. Gotta start somewhere ig.
I seriously considered pursuing the mechanic route once I was out of high school, but honestly unless you’re really lucky or know somebody it’ll be a long time before you ever start making money, and a really long time before you start making money where it’s worth it to be away from your family almost every weekend out of the year.
Why did the previous driver and mechanic quit ?
Pit Row
They need another mechanic? Huh. They must have added a rider? I wonder who that could be. 😀
I know dudes in the industry and professional wasn't lying. The stories I hear about them. How about taking a bath in a toilet to save money for a shower.
My initial thought too.
But maybe they want someone fresh
Have you read his posts ? I would swear pros not American and not sure what he is as I do not recognize the language he speaks when he posts.
Pay, hours, being treated poorly the list goes on n on
He’s pretty well versed in American culture
That really sucks. Yea, there's more drivers and mechanics out there, but an earned reputation can last a while.
Where I was going with my question was .
Maybe they both quit due to the deganism and the family business antics. !
What about Tomac going to KTM
Seems to be a pattern at Star racing
Getting bitched at for food prep/not buying the right food, fixing shit on the truck and trailer when it breaks, working far more hours than the you're getting paid for (or really allowed to by D.O.T.), the list goes on.
At 80k a year (which I bet star isn't offering) against the hours worked you're barely at $20'ish an hour. A couple drivers are at 100k, but they are the exception not the rule.
Maybe so, but at 80K a year for a guy who loves moto and doesn't want a mindless and thankless job with Dominion it could be a dream.
Yep. I'm a truck driver and I've got a close buddy who's well-connected in the industry, so he knows what the pay is like.
I'd probably have to take a $30k-40k cut in annual salary to take this Star job. And, as you say, all of those ancillary duties, being over-the-road for months on end, etc. It just doesn't seem to be worth it for an experienced driver.
I'll keep watching races on Peacock and go to a couple per year.
The truck drivers are the hardest working guys at the team on race day.
I know 2 former factory team drivers, and they grind hard when at that job.
