many times there will be no advertising of dock workers. as in one LTL job i had, it was all internal hiring from recommendations of other workers. by doing it this way, there are no long lines of applicants. this too is why many jobs now, you apply online. so get up, go in person and apply for the yard job.

So what's so bad about the yard jockey job? Working in the rain or snow?
I'm currently getting experience as a yard jockey right now, but the yards are a disaster with massive potholes or craters. I could see eventually trying to take my experience and get work in a real facility with actual pavement and hopefully they at least use road salt if needed.
At least even in my current job, I have a lot of autonomy and sometimes even get done early and just chill out in the guard shack.buddyd157 Thanks this. -

Appreciate all the replies. The end goal would be getting into p&d or an ltl position but I have been doing yard work for almost 6 years now and it's something I really enjoy. Thinking the pay would be better at od which is why I was looking.

I would apply online and follow up in person. As you can see.....you may find the best of both worlds!
