Job Description

A warehouse only moves as fast as its yard. Every trailer has to land at the right door, at the right time, without a wasted minute or a wrong turn.

If you can handle a yard mule like it is second nature and keep a busy dock running smooth, a leading Houston logistics company wants to talk to you.

The Role

You are the person who keeps trailers flowing in and out of the yard all day long. You spot trailers at dock doors, shuttle empty and loaded units between staging areas and parking spots, and keep everything organized so the warehouse team never has to wait on you. It suits someone who notices details, moves fast without cutting corners, and takes real pride in a well run yard.

What You Will Do

• Operate a yard mule safely to move trailers throughout the facility
• Position trailers at assigned dock doors for loading and unloading
• Transport empty and loaded trailers between staging areas, parking spots and docks
• Inspect trailers for damage and report safety or maintenance concerns
• Verify trailer numbers, seal numbers and shipment details before every move
• Keep accurate records of trailer movements, yard activity and equipment checks
• Coordinate with warehouse staff, dispatchers and supervisors to prioritize movements
• Complete routine pre trip and post trip inspections of yard equipment
• Watch yard conditions and keep trailers parked safely and efficiently
• Support trailer inventory and overall yard organization
• Follow all company safety policies, DOT regulations and facility procedures
• Jump in to support warehouse operations during busy periods

What It Takes

• A high school diploma or GED
• One to two years operating a yard mule, yard jockey, spotter truck or similar equipment is preferred
• A background in warehouse, distribution, logistics, transportation or 3PL environments
• A strong grasp of yard safety procedures and trailer movement operations
• Comfort maneuvering trailers in tight spaces and busy yards
• A sharp eye for detail when checking trailer numbers, seals and shipping paperwork
• Clear communication with warehouse teams and transportation staff, plus the ability to work independently while staying safe and productive
• Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic. Bilingual English and Spanish is a plus.

Schedule and Flexibility

Your schedule is steady and predictable: Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, with a 30 minute lunch built in.

Compensation

Pay starts at $20 per hour. The first 90 days are a standard introductory period. After that, you become eligible for company sponsored benefits and pay increases tied to performance and attendance, which may include health insurance, paid time off and more. You keep the freight moving, and the role is set up to reward you for showing up and doing it well.

Work Environment

You spend your shift outdoors and in the yard, climbing in and out of equipment, walking the dock and staying alert in every kind of weather. Expect to lift up to 50 pounds and stay on your feet in a fast moving setting.

Ready?

If you take pride in a well run yard and want to be the reason trailers move exactly where they need to go, we would love to hear from you. Let's talk about how you can keep this dock moving.
