Job description

$21.50/hour | 3-1/2 Day Workweek | Thursday-Saturday OFF

This is a CDL-A yard job built around your time off.

You’ll work Sunday through Wednesday, go home every day, and then have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday completely off every week.

No long-haul.

No living in a truck.

No working six days a week just to make a decent paycheck.

And if you want to make more money, your CDL-A gives you the opportunity to pick up local driving work on your days off at full driver pay when shifts are available.

Tired of working 5-6 days a week just to get your hours?

Schedule:

• Sunday: 5:00 PM - 4:00 AM
• Monday: 5:00 PM - 4:00 AM
• Tuesday: 5:00 PM - 4:00 AM
• Wednesday: 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM
• Thursday-Saturday: OFF

You get three full days off every week, plus most of Sunday.

What Makes This Yard Job Different?

Save Your Back: You'll operate a dedicated, climate-controlled Kalmar yard truck with a hydraulic boom that makes trailer work easier and minimizes landing-gear cranking.

Work in a Manageable Yard: This is a 45-trailer / 22-door customer yard. You're not trying to navigate a massive 300+ trailer distribution hub all night.

Stay on the Property: 95% of your shift is spent on-site. Occasional street driving is limited to things like fueling or shuttling a trailer when needed.

Go Home Every Day: This is a local, dedicated operation. When your shift is over, you're done.

Want to Make More Money? Your CDL-A doesn't have to sit unused on your days off. When additional local driving work is available, you can pick up local route driving shifts at full driver pay.

Want the time off? Take it.

Want the extra money? Pick up another shift.

You decide how much you want to work.

There's Room to Move Up: The person who previously held this exact position was promoted to a supervisor role at another FirstFleet location. We believe in promoting from within and developing people who prove themselves. If you come in, learn the operation, do good work, and want more responsibility, there is a path to move up.

No sweeping. No OTR. No long-haul driving.

What You'll Do

• Move trailers around the customer yard
• Position trailers at loading doors
• Pretrip trailers prior to loading
• Perform occasional shuttles or fueling runs
• Keep the yard organized and moving

Paid Training: You'll receive one-on-one paid training on the day shift with an experienced trainer before moving to your regular night schedule. We'll teach you the yard, equipment, procedures, and customer requirements.

Pay & Benefits

$21.50/hour

• Paid weekly by direct deposit
• Medical, dental, vision and hearing coverage available
• Company-matching 401(k)
• Short-term and long-term disability
• Life insurance

What You Need

• Valid Class A CDL
• Minimum 1 year of tractor-trailer experience
• At least 21 years old
• Acceptable driving record
• No DUI/DWI within the last 5 years
• No DOT-reportable accidents within the last 3 years

If You Have a CDL-A and Want Your Time Back…

You don't need another driving job that takes over your entire week.

Work four days. Get three full days off. Go home every day.

And if you want to build a career instead of just collecting a paycheck, there's room to move up.
