Sir JBG !!! Did that same thing for YRC for 11 yrs,, COOL in Winter & HOT in Summer !!!! Used water hose pipe to coool off !!! Forget the shower !!!HAHA KEEP IT SAFE
There is AC in all trucks unless broken. The ac doesn’t matter most of the time because that back door stays open 80 to 90 percent of the time, so that little worthless fan is needed believe it or not lol
Thank so very much Juan for letting us share a part of your day with us. God Bless You. Wonderful video John, I thourghly enjoyed it. Ten 👍 to both you and Juan. God Bless You. As always, safe travels. ✌ Loved the saying at the end, it is very true. 👍👍
Wow that was so awesome Now I have an Idea of what a truck yard jockey does I would love to thank you John and the yard Jockey for doing this It was a treat :)
I am now officially a yard switcher with averitt. Thank to this video. What to expect when coming aboard. First you go to 4 days orientation then you start the week after you can request a trainer. I did 40 moves a day getting pay 18.50 an hour plus overtime. Your first week will get tire. They will call out door number to pull.i had a blast dispatcher and our grew make fun of each other make the day fun.plus u get to be home every day. It's worth it
Man does that bring back the memories, 6 days a week, 12 hr shifts...all on swing...go..go...go..one trailer after another..and hardly any breaks,can hear it now...James I need trailer 188 over here now,line 3 trailer is empty,grab trailer 208,and swap with line 3......and all my yard was gravel.................
I know the feeling sir. I also did this for 20 years....We ran from a computer monitor in the cab....clear one move then another one pops up....Hotter then two Hells in the summer, yard was on a hill top so the wind chill in the winter was often below zero. I'm retired from it now but watching this definitely brought back some memories. ..thanks John.
The place I work as a yard driver I work 3 12 hr days and have 4 days off. I love so far. Have been doing it for 2 years now. It is a good size place. I work on the cool/freezer yard and then across the road is the dry side where I started at. Its great being home and sleeping in my own bed!
this is awesome video John very cool. now i got somewhat an idea what these guys do. i always wonder about the truck yard Jockey does. very interesting.
Great video ! Especially that BLIND SIDE backing at the end of the video. Now THAT was IMPRESSIVE ! I've been a Yard Jockey for 2 days and would love to see him or anyone else post up how to properly do setups and say were the "marks' are for backing these switcher trucks. NOT at all like backing with a fullsized tractor with a sleeper. Not even close.
That last maneuver was not blind side it was a U Back or a U-Turn Back. You do a U-Turn Half way until you see the location of where you’re going then straight line back, hope this helped.
Hey, John!! That yard jockey was having the time of his life playing with your head cam. lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now I know that yard jockeys work harder than the lumpers, as they have to move trailers, back them up, and they never stop. I'm happy that you let him use it for a short run to and fro. Now we all know how hard they work. Laterz 🤗😁🐸
I used to be yard jockey for FedEx ground (they call em switchers) and it really was a fun job to me (NEVER woke up in the morning fretting work), and it wasn't til they started to enforce stricter rules for us then it started to lose it's appeal.
Awesome video JBG have a great rest of your week my friend. Might want to avoid Wisconsin for awhile tons of flooding and tornado warnings for much of the state check the Weather channel for more info be safe out there my friend.
I remember when I was a dock worker for roadway express in the early 90s they always had me running the yard dog because the reg guys kept damaging the yard truck and didn't want to put propane to run it. no ac no windows. barely ran. at least he had a fan lol!!!!
Hello Mr John nice little video what are trying to do Mr uncle Larry 😆😆😆 enjoyed the video be safe out there on your travels from Paris Texas God bless you
Good job but there's a lot of corners being cut and a not a lot of safety standards being upheld by the company and that's just my take by watching the two moves that he made in this video.
I drove one earlier in my interview to see if I can back that thang up...I sho did back that thing up. I get to start work tomorrow. The pay is low for someone who can maneuver a truck n trailer with a cdl. I'm going OTR soon glade my back skills will be on point doing yard dog for month than hit the road.
I’m a yard jockey/Driver. It’s fun but exhausting due to the heat because you have to open the back door all day and the blow back from the heat is crazy sometimes. I’ve done it for a few months and my skills are amazing!
Why is there no blue lines on your truck? is there another truck used to plug full trailers? seems pretty dangerous if you're hauling heaving trailers.
im about to be getting one as a shuttle truck...switching from a nice day cab to one of these is going to suck lol. no room to stretch the legs. and probably not great on the road.
So many questions I want to ask.... no light cable hook up or other trailer brake....nice trailer back up skills though. How many trailers do you touch a day?
Using the light cord in the daylight depends on the policies of the various trucking companies. The service brake line isn't necessary when moving empty trailers as the brakes on the yard tractor is more than sufficient to stop quickly.
Guy deserves zero praise. Not hooking up the blue hose means he has zero trailer brakes. Some person down below in the comments said it's not neccessary because the trailers are empty which is pure bunk as you're still trying to stop a trailer when empty weights over 12,000 lbs. By his actions odds are he never hooks up the blue even when he's pulling a load. By not hooking up the blue whether empty or not it creates excess wear on the tractor brakes. You're also supposed to slowly pull out after dropping the trailer and this guy just puts it in gear and punches it. Wonder what other sloppy work this guy does. I figure I've moved over 20,000 trailers using various yard tractors and sometimes rigs so I have some experience.
I'm also a Yard Jockey and a Yard Jockey Trainer myself for P&G at their site in Vandailia, OH. Do you guys use tandem axle Ottawa yard tractors and if so how do you like them compared to the single axles?
Here I was thinking "Dang John, I want to know what kind of diet you're on..." then I saw the tattoos lol, you had me fooled John. lol no actually I thought someone stole your camera.
Interesting in become a Hostler at my warehouse job, but I fear of expensive errors like: miscommunication, valuable crashes, or a day I forget to completely safe inspection on the truck.
As a yard driver, I appreciate you showing what we do.
Couldn’t agree more. We don’t get enough light shed on us :)
agreed, lot of drivers get irritated at us for being ''impatient'' of ''pushy''. now they can see what we do all day.
Juan you are a rare breed of hard working people a lot of people admire your work hope to see you soon
I thought you had become a professional yard jockey. What a great treat thanks and safe travels on your journey.
.great idea for a very cool video....guys like Juan are worth their weight in gold
Sir JBG !!! Did that same thing for YRC for 11 yrs,, COOL in Winter & HOT in Summer !!!! Used water hose pipe to coool off !!! Forget the shower !!!HAHA KEEP IT SAFE
Thank you Juan!
Never knew what it was like having your job.
They should splurge and give you two fans. No AC i see.
Thanks for your hard work.
There is AC in all trucks unless broken. The ac doesn’t matter most of the time because that back door stays open 80 to 90 percent of the time, so that little worthless fan is needed believe it or not lol
in my shunter truck there is AC, so i would imagne that one has one too

Wow! That was a surprise. Thank you! I always wondered how they did that. Juan is really good at his job! Great video! 😃
Wow that was so awesome Now I have an Idea of what a truck yard jockey does I would love to thank you John and the yard Jockey for doing this It was a treat :)

That guy is a working machine, awesome video. Young mans work. You and Baby Blue have a great night, and safe travels. God Bless
Thanks John that was so cool. I always wondered how those guys operated. And thank you to Juan.
this is awesome video John very cool. now i got somewhat an idea what these guys do. i always wonder about the truck yard Jockey does. very interesting.
I am a yard jockey but in Canada we call them shunters. I shunt trailers lol. And I love my job!
That shunt truck has dual drive axles. I never knew that shunt trucks had duals. Thought they were just single axle.
cool and i never know that cool.
same here
@@philliplee980 where do you live and drive? I live in Nova Scotia Canada
That’s really cool that he did that for you. Good stuff JBG!
Very nice great to someone who excels at there job great work and 2 thumbs up for sharing.
I love this one John, Juan was awesome
thank you juan and jbg for shareing that with us that was cool
This was badass!! Great video!!
One of your best videos.
I want to drive one !!
Juan is the kind of employee I would want on my crew. He has hustle in his bustle. NOT the guard.
Great video ! Especially that BLIND SIDE backing at the end of the video. Now THAT was IMPRESSIVE !

Thanks for this video to. New job 2020 switcher job. Always my GOD first¡¡ god bless you brother for you time
This is awesome he's quick like the ending you made his day
I used to be yard jockey for FedEx ground (they call em switchers) and it really was a fun job to me (NEVER woke up in the morning fretting work), and it wasn't til they started to enforce stricter rules for us then it started to lose it's appeal.
What a creative idea for your channel! No wonder your RUclips presence is soaring!
That is cool that you show a yard Jockey point of view!! GG
That was so cool.
i always wondered how those lil trucks handle. Thanks, Juan!
when you’re 100k pounds they dont pull very well lol
Nice one John and Juan
Thank you!!!
THANK YOU! - GOD BLESS!!!!
Please make more videos like this i love yard dogs
Nice driving Juan!!!
Awesome video JBG have a great rest of your week my friend. Might want to avoid Wisconsin for awhile tons of flooding and tornado warnings for much of the state check the Weather channel for more info be safe out there my friend.
Great video idea, JBG. Thumbs up!
Thank you JBG and Juan, pretty cool.
so What are you doing
Awesome video! I have a buddy that's a yard jockey.
That was awesome!
I miss doing the Yard hostling...really need to get my CDL.
Thank you brother.
I remember when I was a dock worker for roadway express in the early 90s they always had me running the yard dog because the reg guys kept damaging the yard truck and didn't want to put propane to run it. no ac no windows. barely ran. at least he had a fan lol!!!!
Hey John your getting it done.
Pretty cool stuff. We can definitely hear the air leak when in high range, when you shift into 6th and it goes away on the low side.
Love driving the Ottawa!!
He drop and hook the trailers so fast. thanx jbg
I was a yard jockey in Denver at a local trucking company. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it
Hello Mr John nice little video what are trying to do Mr uncle Larry 😆😆😆 enjoyed the video be safe out there on your travels from Paris Texas God bless you
Thanks for the videos John have a great day from westmlnster MD
Good job but there's a lot of corners being cut and a not a lot of safety standards being upheld by the company and that's just my take by watching the two moves that he made in this video.
Great video and what a great guy

Thank you for your video 🙏🏾 is there training in yard jockey jobs for students coming from trucking school?
I’m a yard jockey/Driver. It’s fun but exhausting due to the heat because you have to open the back door all day and the blow back from the heat is crazy sometimes. I’ve done it for a few months and my skills are amazing!
That was cool John awesome video
It's fun watching professionals do their thing.
I always wanted to be a yard jockey what do you have to do be a yard jockey
I have an interview this week here in PA for jockey driver. Lets see how it goes.
This is awesome. Thanks for this vid
FedEx Ground doesn’t require you to have a CDL, start as a package handler and work your way up.
@@soup8080 yup just work hard for the promotion like I did.
Thank you Mr. Yard/jockey. You did good😉👍
ty for this video i quit 4 years otr to become a yard jockey
Tornado warning in Parnell Wisconsin moving northeast I'm not sure where Shebogan is from there but you may want to call home
Thought it was JBG for a moment there did this for a bit
Why is there no blue lines on your truck? is there another truck used to plug full trailers? seems pretty dangerous if you're hauling heaving trailers.
Thank you 🙏 form Oklahoma city
wholesome guy, respect :)
Thanks Juan!!!
That was pretty cool.
JBG thanks for showing Juan work skills
Very interesting video 👍
im about to be getting one as a shuttle truck...switching from a nice day cab to one of these is going to suck lol. no room to stretch the legs. and probably not great on the road.
Nice alternate view of the yard mule at work moving those trailers around
That was fun. great to se how jockey works
So many questions I want to ask.... no light cable hook up or other trailer brake....nice trailer back up skills though. How many trailers do you touch a day?

that was something different, thanksJuan and Johnny
I was just watching the weather channel and there is a flash flood warning for Shebogan Wisconsin
this is a wonderful wonderful video game
👍👍👍💪💪💪✌✌✌
Here I was thinking "Dang John, I want to know what kind of diet you're on..." then I saw the tattoos lol, you had me fooled John. lol no actually I thought someone stole your camera.
this is what did for target dc and now coke of Albany. jokey.s make the best backing drivers known
I'm a yard jockey as well. What brand does your sit use and do you prefer tandem or single axle trucks?
Super idea!
¡Great video!
Thanks good video ✌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video!
Awesome video!
Interesting in become a Hostler at my warehouse job, but I fear of expensive errors like: miscommunication, valuable crashes, or a day I forget to completely safe inspection on the truck.
That all comes with practice. If safety is your number one priority none of that should happen :)
Awesome JBG.
We might
Also, I noticed Juan has that "missing horn button" common on Kalmar trucks, but I also see twin screw mules, never seen those in person.
that was a great video. god bless
Those 2 guys at end were like wtf, what he saying. They had the confused look.
Great 'yard jockey' video. Can park on a dime and give 11 cents change !!
In a CDL class now. Anyone can answer, do you enjoy being a yard jockey?
