YARD-FOCUSED CDL-A WORK

DEDICATED YARD WORK

Why Drivers Want This Job

This isn't your typical CDL job.

You won't be spending your week crossing state lines or living in a sleeper cab. You'll report to the facility, perform your yard-driving responsibilities, and go home after your shift.

What makes this opportunity stand out:

  • $1,176 average weekly pay
  • Home daily
  • 3.5 days on / 3.5 days off
  • Day and night shifts available
  • Hourly pay structure
  • Dedicated yard operation
  • Automatic equipment
  • Consistent facility-based work
  • No traditional OTR lifestyle
  • Major candy manufacturing operation
  • Approximately 40-mile hiring area around Hershey, PA

And perhaps most importantly:

You get substantial consecutive time off without giving up a full-time CDL-A position.

A Schedule That Gives You Your Time Back

3.5 Days On. 3.5 Days Off.

The biggest advantage of this position is the rotating schedule.

You'll work approximately 3.5 days, followed by approximately 3.5 days off.

That means more consecutive time to spend on the things that matter outside of work.

Use your days off for:

  • Family
  • Personal appointments
  • Projects around the house
  • Rest and recovery
  • Personal commitments
  • Simply enjoying your time away from work

Important:

This is a rotating schedule, not a traditional Monday–Friday schedule.

The rotation includes one weekend day as part of the work schedule, and your exact workdays and shift assignment are determined by facility operations.

If you're looking for a predictable rotation that gives you significant blocks of time off, this is where this job really stands apart.

Home Daily — No OTR Lifestyle

Sleep in Your Own Bed Every Night

This is a true home-daily yard position.

You report to the Hershey-area facility for your assigned shift, perform your yard duties, and return home when your shift is complete.

You won't be:

  • Spending nights in a sleeper
  • Living out of a truck
  • Crossing multiple states
  • Searching for overnight parking
  • Spending days away from your family

Instead, you'll spend your workday moving and positioning trailers within the facility yard.

Then you go home.

What You'll Do as a Yard Jockey

This is a yard-focused CDL-A position.

Your primary responsibility is safely moving trailers and equipment around the facility.

Typical responsibilities include:

  • Moving trailers throughout the yard
  • Spotting trailers at designated dock doors
  • Positioning trailers for loading and unloading
  • Shuttling trailers between yard locations
  • Connecting and disconnecting trailers
  • Performing yard checks
  • Monitoring trailer locations
  • Communicating with yard and operations personnel
  • Completing required equipment inspections
  • Following facility procedures and safety requirements
  • Maintaining a safe and organized yard

If you prefer maneuvering equipment over running long-haul freight, this could be a great fit.

Day & Night Shifts Available

Depending on available openings, qualified drivers may have opportunities for:
