Lazer Spot
Its not over the road we mostly do yard management IE trailer spoting and also some trailer shuttleing localy. Its a good company to work for if you ever get tired of the open road and want to be home every night.

Be careful with what you get into with this company. Being a truck driver and a yard dog are two totally different worlds!
Currently I make $15/hr + OT after 40 and every bit of that is earned! It's bad enough you get 10 + moves over the radio while trying to complete the first 3 moves inbound/outbound gave you. Then on top of the next 10 moves you might get 4 more to boot! Also forget about ignoring the radio, the warehouse will just send a team out to flag you down and hand you yet a new list of 5 + moves. Before you know it, you will fall behind and to make it worse. . . the warehouse may have you deliver messages to drivers that their load is ready. Oh, yeah and if you need to fill a spot with an empty trailer you will have to find it all the while getting more moves over the radio.
It's very annoying work and allot of pressure to move trailers. The warehouse makes those truckers sit for 5, 10, 15 hours + but don't even think about making the warehouse wait to have a trailer moved. Then we also run out of space for the trailers, oh, well. . . then we start parking them in the parking lot meant for CARS! It's a blast trying to negotiate around those aisles and planters.
Lazer Spot itself is not bad it's the clients! My site needs two driver for both shifts or you'll get nothing done.
