Can you be comfortable being uncomfortable? Are you fine with always speaking your mind? Can you lead, execute, and stay focused despite many distractions, and do the work yourself if needed?
At Autocar, we fight for the customers’ needs. We invest in and grow businesses that disrupt their industries by putting the customers’ needs first. From big data to industrial manufacturing, we deliver tools that transform the work of the people that use them.
It takes a special kind of person to be a part of this business in transformation. We are privately owned and expect our team members to act with an owner mindset: Relentless about creating value for the customer. Dogged about finding efficiencies and eliminating waste. Standing arm in arm with the rest of the team until the job is done—and ready to do it again the next day, with a smile.
It is not easy do things differently. But we do it—because we are passionate about improving our business and the lives of the people who use our tools.

What You’ll Get
About Autocar
Autocar, LLC headquartered in Birmingham, AL, is not just another severe-duty vocational truck manufacturer - we built America’s first motor truck. We carry the first specialized truck brand in North America and are the only American-owned and operated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of trucks. For over a century, Autocar has stood for purpose-built performance, durability, and reliability in the most demanding vocational applications.
Today, that legacy continues with a clear focus: building trucks that work as hard as the people who depend on them. We collaborate with our customers to build trucks to their exact specifications and needs. They operate in environments where failure is not an option, and our products are engineered to meet that standard every day.
Autocar’s purpose-built severe-duty refuse truck lines include the Class 6-8 ACMD cabover, Class 8 ACX cabover and the DC-64 Class 8 conventional cab. We recognize that performance and uptime are everything and offer every customer 24/7 access to our ALWAYS UP® direct factory support center staffed by expert technicians who engineer and build Autocar’s trucks. Autocar promises to provide trucks that deliver the best value, provide the best service, and provide a complete solution for customers’ needs.

The many technical innovations first introduced by Autocar which are now standard in all cars and trucks around the world, plus its focus on custom-engineering trucks for the most demanding applications, led to Autocar’s reputation among truck professionals in the 20th Century as the "World's Finest".
