Master the Terminal Yard

Our massive distribution center is looking for a skilled Yard Jockey to manage our trailer traffic overnight. You will pilot a highly maneuverable terminal tractor (yard goat) to shuttle 53-foot trailers between the staging yard and the active dock doors.

Why This Job Rocks:

  • No Traffic: You never leave the gated distribution yard. No DOT logbooks, no weigh stations, no highway stress.
  • Fast Paced: You will execute 50+ trailer moves per night. The shift flies by.
