For facilities that move trailers throughout the day, keeping the right equipment at the right dock can become a job of its own.
E&J provides dedicated on-site drivers — often referred to as yard jockeys, spotter drivers or yard hostlers — to handle trailer movement around your facility.
Instead of pulling road drivers away from routes or adding another driving position internally, you can have dedicated support focused on keeping trailers staged, docks supplied and your operation moving.
On-Site Trailer Movement Where You Need It
Your dedicated driver stays focused on the movement happening inside your facility so your shipping, receiving and transportation teams can stay focused on everything else.
Dock Moves
Move trailers to and from loading docks as your production and receiving schedules require.
Trailer Staging
Position loaded and empty trailers so they're ready when your operation needs them.
Yard Organization
Keep equipment organized throughout your property and reduce unnecessary trailer movement.
Operational Support
Support shipping, receiving and production teams throughout the workday.
A Smarter Way to Staff Your Yard
Adding another internal driving position means more than another paycheck. It can also mean recruiting, benefits, insurance, equipment, scheduling, turnover and managing call-offs.
E&J gives businesses the ability to outsource that function and build coverage around the actual needs of the operation.
E&J can supply the personnel needed for dedicated on-site coverage.
Depending on the arrangement, we can provide both the driver and the truck used for trailer movement.
Your route drivers don't need to spend valuable time repositioning trailers around the facility.
Service can be structured around ongoing, temporary, seasonal or longer-term needs.
