    I ran them for most of 35 years. The best one had a Detroit in it. It would roast the tires. The thing about it that sucked was the top of the rear door opening was low for going in and out over a 100 times a day. When you hit the top of your head wirh a hat on, you would end up on the floor.

    I can’t find a video on any paper work that a yard driver has to do. I’m sure it’s more than writing a trailer numbers

      Hey. So basically you have a CB Radio on you cab . They will radio you to put or pull trailers out of docks all day. Organized the yard prior to your duties

      Hey . You can search on Google. But some companies you are required to have your CDL some don’t depending on your home state .

    • @PerspectivePossibilities
      @PerspectivePossibilities 4 місяці тому +2

      Some companies don't require a CDL since you're only driving on the yard & will train you to get your CDL

  • @andysaunders3708

    We used to use them for log trailers.
    No brakes, no lights, no chains, and tyres as bald as f*** on the trailers, (which were all bent and cracked to shit).
    For a company that has "Home Safely Every Day" on their shirts, kinda bullshit.
    Up to 40+ tonnes of logs per trailer, on wet and slippery surfaces - not exactly confidence inspiring...

    Why do some yard dogs drive on public roads in my area ?

      Those are the ones that require CDL. They probably move trailers for one yard to another.
