Their primary responsibility is to organize and manage the transportation yard, which involves moving and parking large trucks and trailers in designated spaces, loading and unloading cargo, and ensuring that all vehicles and equipment are well-maintained and safe for use. They also communicate and coordinate with dispatchers, warehouse teams, and drivers to ensure smooth operations and timely deliveries. Additionally, Yard Drivers are responsible for conducting regular inspections, reporting any damages, and adhering to all safety regulations and protocols.
