    I was a yard jockey for a while in 2012... for about 6 months I worked as a temp for Ryder. I got payed $13.50 plus time/half... Very fast paced and you just move trailers all day... It'll definitely teach you how to back if you don't know how...

    My warehouse requires us to hook up both air lines and the electrical line.

    Wish ours took secomds but our drop lot is next door to the warehouse so we have to go out on the main road with a lot of traffic. Depending on the time of day may site there for several mins waiting on traffic.
