We're hiring Yard Jockeys to help keep our transportation operations running safely and efficiently. But for someone with long-term career goals, this opportunity could be more than just moving trailers.
Here's the opportunity:
You'll begin by working as a Yard Jockey for six months, gaining hands-on experience with trailer movements, yard operations, equipment inspections, and transportation coordination.
After six months, depending on your standing, attendance, and performance, you may be eligible for consideration to transfer into Clemens Food Group's internal CDL-A Apprentice Training Program.
Your first six months are an opportunity to demonstrate what you're capable of and work toward the next step in your transportation career.

Complete pre-trip and post-trip equipment inspections.
Identify equipment issues and coordinate with Garage and Transportation teams.
Communicate with coworkers and supervisors using handheld radios.
Maintain accurate records of trailer movements and daily activities.
Help support on-time departures and established operational performance goals.
Assist route drivers and other team members when needed.
You'll be working in an active, fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly. Staying focused, organized, and safety-minded will be essential.
What Makes This Role Exciting?
A potential pathway into a CDL-A career.
For candidates interested in growing into commercial driving, this position offers a chance to gain valuable transportation experience while demonstrating readiness for additional training.

Developing safe and consistent equipment operating habits.
Building relationships with the Transportation team.
Demonstrating dependable attendance and punctuality.

Transfer is not automatic or guaranteed. It is dependent on meeting applicable requirements and receiving approval for the internal opportunity.
The goal is simple: Give motivated individuals an opportunity to demonstrate their potential while building a foundation for a future in transportation.
What We're Looking For:
You don't necessarily need to have worked as a Yard Jockey before.

Familiarity with refrigerated trailers or cold storage operations.
