I was a yard hostler for 4 1/2 years at a trucking company my brother worked at. I really enjoyed it, and it taught me a lot about truck maneuverability and the basics of backing for when I went over the road.
Saw this about two years ago when I wanted to learn about 45, 90, alley docking it was and still is the best, most chill video ever, much better than some dbag trainer screaming in your ear to throw you off on purpose lol. 10/10!
As a driver on the road I have to say that is some of the best driving I’ve seen. I wish more on the road were like you. Hell you even used the suicide lane like your suppose to! Very very well down young lady!
Very good job! I've been in this business for 28 years and it's refreshing to see young people do such a good job and take pride in their work. I've never driven a yard jockey with tandems on the unit, I love the space you have between the cab and reefer. We have reefers come in and the motor is like a foot or two from the back lol. I was a truck driver for 9 years as well. Seen a lot and it looks like your company has nice equipment. Keep up the good work.
Lift the trailer off the ground a little bit before doing the tug test. As you can see in this video, it puts a big strain on the landing gear if you dont. I've been doing this job for 19 years, and I always lift them up a couple inches before tugging. 😊
That Autocar has no rear suspension, It's axle and frame. It rides like an old log truck. The Kalmar trucks are like cadillacs in comparison, air bag suspension better placed controls etc. I drive both on a daily and always go for a Kalmar unless I want my spine compressed a little bit 🙃
Nice work. I’m doing this for my first year with my CDL and I’ll hit 90k this year. I do port work and we’re quite a bit more fast paced than this. I love it though. Money and benefits are great.
Rare to see your girls drive trucks or yard hostlers, your calm and you have something millions of people don't, common sense, you make slow professional moves, that's what sets you apart, not like these macho truck drivers that think if they move real fast their good lol, you got something on them, keep it up your deserve the compliments but don't let it go to your head
Pretty cool I haven't seen a mule with double axles and not having the boom. Love the visibility on the Autocart but love the commodities on the new Ticos especially their turn radius and performance.
Love this I'm about to start shunt trucking tomorrow going to be my first trucking job. Then once I get experience on backing up then ill get trained on local routes
Those yard goats are easy to maneuver in with their short wheel base & being up close to the very front of the tractor unlike conventional cab tractors where you're further back away from it. Also those yard goats are the most common fifth wheel cabovers in the USA these days. I remember there was a mix of cabovers & conventional cabs on USA roads back in the 1980s & down. These days I very seldom see any cabovers besides yard goats, fire trucks, garbage trucks, crane trucks, & a few others.
Driving on point! Only suggestion as someone who has been in the industry for a while, is ear plugs while hostling. That model seems quieter than any yard goat I have driven but in the long run, wearing plugs might make a difference.
I gotta say you make this look easy. It's as if you're driving a regular pick up truck. Keep up the excellent work. Is this an easy job to obtain & learn? Also is the starting pay rate decent? I'm now considering it myself after watching your video.
Nice video. Great driving. I'm job searching right now. And a listing came up for this position in the bay area CA. 30/hr. Unfortunately I don't have a class A. But this looks like something I would enjoy to do.
Well I have my cdl and was offered a position at the Costco DC doing hostling and I can tell you this I make more doing this than I ever did over the road. Most places don’t even require you to have a cdl for this hostling position. I get to stay close to home and go home every night. Having a cdl doesn’t mean you’ll make more. But it’s good to have opens many doors. But hostling is not one of them.
@@coreylavars6274 it’s called food service where you can make 100k plus company’s like pfg Gordon food service is foods and they are home every also only thing is is that it’s touch fright but if you handle moving boxes 📦 then your good RUclips channel called I’m Anthony tv if your interested
Congrats on your CDL! What area are you in? Recruiting companies are usually strict on the "1 year of experience" rule. I would look really hard for direct hire companies that hire you based on your yard assessment, rather than your resume.
@@anotherag5076 That's good advice. That year of experience requirement shouldn't be as strict. Students fresh out of training are the most careful. When I was a student I seen a lot of truck drivers fly by without a care in a known student yard. Passing the CDL exam was made challenging for a reason. To make sure you are as skilled and safe as possible driving a semi. I'm in the Indianapolis area and I just began my truck driving job search.
These comments are hilarious LOL " this is some of the best driving I've ever seen blah blah blah" lol. She is doing what the other yard goats do ..I'm not putting her down but what was special about what she did? She's literally doing the job. It's not like women can't drive trucks I see women truck drivers all the time. Just say you think she's cute and be done with it that's why we all came anyway. 😁
If you drive on the road, the answer is yes. Many places hire non cdl hostlers, though, because they only do trailer moves in the yard. Amazon will hire hostlers brand new and train them in the yard trucks and train them for the cdl as well.
If I’m inside the yard I raise the fifth wheel. When I get on the road I raise the landing gear because of dips and because I’m pulling heavy loads and don’t want the trailer raised too high. Ever see that OSHA video about the yard dog incident with the container?
It’s been 2 weeks since I became a yard jockey and I gotta say I am impressed by how well you do this job. I’m learning from you 👏🏽
I was a yard hostler for 4 1/2 years at a trucking company my brother worked at. I really enjoyed it, and it taught me a lot about truck maneuverability and the basics of backing for when I went over the road.

Totally drift truck to drive and back up.so why compare a spot truck to an over the road truck.
@@jerrywilcox9890 different truck or not, it requires a cdl and the knowledge she used is the exact same.
@@freep2s not the same lol.
Thank you I try to always stay safe!
@@jerrywilcox9890 you’re right. I never claimed to be a “real” truck driver :)

Have to say I was shocked how GOOD you are! I know a lot of grown men that can’t do this job the way their suppose to!
I love your videos! Could you please make one explaining how you started and how long was the process to learn this ❤️
Hi, I do this job in Japan and I love it. I dislike sometimes long driving, and my favorite is backing trailer :)
Lift the trailer off the ground a little bit before doing the tug test. As you can see in this video, it puts a big strain on the landing gear if you dont. I've been doing this job for 19 years, and I always lift them up a couple inches before tugging. 😊
I was thinking that too but didn’t wanna seem like i was picking on her.
Awesome
Awesome. That’s how I do it. Baby throttle.
I love the visibility in those yard goats. I'd like to take one for a test ride someday. Thank you for showing us what it's like.

Just took my cdl test in a cascadia sleeper. First interview was "Show me what got". Very easy to backup in for a rookie.
Best video on utube.
I did yard hostling for about 5 years I say it is the best job I ever had.
Nice work. I’m doing this for my first year with my CDL and I’ll hit 90k this year. I do port work and we’re quite a bit more fast paced than this. I love it though. Money and benefits are great.
You're one of the few. So stick with it and hope you're mind and body can last.

Wear gloves working with those door handles. I've seen hands get split wide open because of metal slivers like razors. Good job keep kicking ass.
Fun job
THE CUTEST SHUNTER 😍😍😍
Very impressive work
I applied for this job yesterday. I hope i get it..
I hope so too 🤞
Ive been jockying for one year i love it but ur truck is way nicer then mine.
Please make more vids… im in Otr driver and your backing is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Great advice
Excellent job. Been doing mocking for over 2 decades.
I do the same thing since an accident a few years ago. I do get to go out in a regular truck sometimes though. Mainly when we are short on drivers

Get some sun glasses and your cdl and your ready for the road lol
U the boss girl!!
Where did you go? I share your videos with other student drivers or people who are having trouble getting used to docking. They learn a lot from you.

You drive very good but i have one problem with your work WHERE ARE YOUR WORK GLOVES 😆 keep up the good work
I always want to use the same tractor that you're using. I'm current using single axle yard tractor and it's sucks
I kind of miss the single axles actually, they turn much faster!
Yo JC! We miss your skills come back.
Aww miss you guys, tell George I said hello
Good job Driver
I do this in Hunts point produce market Bronx New York for 5 yrs
I'm saying who got time to put they seat belt, and plug the lights up?
Autocar Mule. Nice
It’s a very good mule
your truck dosen't have a hydraulic 5th wheel ?
Like pro. 200/shift
@1:09 did they run out of money for stop signs?
She is good
I live in an apartment next door to one of these infernal machines and their endless unnecessary beeping.
So move! 😂
Move
✌same here (kalmar ottawa) shunt tractor yard operator
I use to work for northern didn’t see any hostlers in their yard
I,m surprised the shunt unit has such a long wheelbase and double drive axles.
How fast a yard dog can go
Oh, Northern
I shunted trailers for 7 weeks at a Walmart DC. NEVER AGAIN!
Why did you have to crank the landing gear. Most hostlers have a hydraulic filter wheel that can raise the trailer
She had to raise the landing gear and drop the trailer to the deck because she was taking it onto the road, it has to be dropped to avoid power lines
I’m a yard dog also getting ready to get my cdl now jus waiting for spots to open in school
Well I have my cdl and was offered a position at the Costco DC doing hostling and I can tell you this I make more doing this than I ever did over the road.

I never seen a tandem axle yard truck
Does yours have AC?
This looks like ontario ca...
That spotter truck turns way different then a semi.now use a semi lol see how well ya backup.
True, the spotter truck is designed specifically for backing 👍
It takes all of ten minutes to get used to one or the other. I drive both. It ain't rocket science.
Bro chill out
@James Dukes I don't have to chill out you ain't nobody dude.ill say what I want
This is good content.
Please drop a comment and let us know you’re still alive. We’re worried
You’re in a yard dog. Why raise the landing gear? Just raise the 5th wheel up a few inches.
If I’m inside the yard I raise the fifth wheel.
When I get on the road I raise the landing gear because of dips and because I’m pulling heavy loads and don’t want the trailer raised too high. Ever see that OSHA video about the yard dog incident with the container?
Korsonada na driver fighting spiret na driver it is true.
do they pay good?
For having no college degree, I am very happy with the pay.
Some better than others. I make $24/hr with overtime every day. It's a good living.
