My employer has a set of RR tracks that separates a lot on the property where we park trailers that is bound by fencing and has automatic opening gates on both sides when you pull up to it..My question is does the Yard Jockey need to posses a CDL A to cross over the tracks to the other lot? And also if the yard has continuous traffic as far as outside carriers making deliveries or if there is constuction going on in the yard or anything else of the sort is the Yard Jockey required to have a CDL A? Our Yard Jockeys don't leave the property.

If the yard jockey stays on private property, he doesn't need a CDL nor does he/she have to follow DOT rules, he can work all day long. Once they touch the road, they need to follow all of dot lawsTrucker61016, truckdriver31 and ZVar Thank this. -

Your best bet is simply flag down or call the local officer. They are, after all, the ones that would write the citation. See what their policy would be. My guess is no one will care even if it's not strictly legal.
Not that I think it's illegal, but with 35,000 towns in the US, it's impossible to know what each town will claim as roadway and subject to DOT or not.FlaSwampRat and truckdriver31 Thank this. -

Now even if it's illegal, if the officer writing the citation doesn't care, well an unenforced law is the same as no law.FlaSwampRat and truckdriver31 Thank this.
