Located in Bristol, IN
Salary: 20.00
Schedule: Full-Time, Day Shift (Monday – Friday, daytime hours)
Location Area: Elkhart County, IN
Tired of over-the-road routes, sleeping in truck stops, or being stuck inside standing at an assembly line all day? Step into an independent, fast-paced yard role where your driving precision keeps production moving.
Home Every Single Night: Reliable, local day-shift schedule with steady manufacturing hours and open weekends.
Top-Tier Pay: Earn $20.00 to $26.00/hour right from the start, with overtime opportunities available during peak production runs.
Cab Autonomy: Spend your day behind the wheel maneuvering equipment and coordinating staging without a manager hovering over your shoulder.
Active, Engaging Work: Perfect balance of skilled equipment operation and physical yard movement—no mundane bench work or sitting idling in highway traffic.
Maneuver raw frames, in-process units, and finished trailers (24–53 ft) between assembly, paint/finishing, wash bays, and yard lots.
Operate terminal tractors (Ottawa/Kalmar), ball-hitch/pintle tugs, and heavy yard trucks safely and efficiently.
Execute tight-quarter backing maneuvers into production bays and loading docks.
Stage trailers and outbound inventory accurately using VIN and serial numbers against shipping schedules.
Assist delivery carriers with coupling, uncoupling, wheel chocks, and dock stabilizer jacks.
Conduct daily pre-trip and post-trip equipment inspections, checking inbound and outbound units for transit security.
Experience: 1–2 years running yard spotters, terminal tractors, heavy tow rigs, or semi-trucks in an industrial, freight, or manufacturing yard.
Skills: Proven ability to back 24–53 ft trailers into tight spaces; solid familiarity with 5th-wheel, gooseneck, and pintle hitches.
License: Valid driver’s license with a clean, insurable record (Class A CDL is a strong plus).
Work Ethic: Reliable, safety-minded, and comfortable working outdoors in seasonal Midwest conditions.
