The Local Yard Driver role with Lazer Logistics in Oakland, CA, presents an ideal opportunity for drivers seeking stability, predictability, and a better day-to-day driving experience. Unlike traditional driving positions that involve navigating multiple stops, long routes, and heavy highway traffic, this position keeps drivers in one dedicated location throughout their entire shift. This means no traffic hassles or multi-stop deliveries, just focused and safe movements of trailers within the yard. Drivers will find this job more consistent and predictable than many other CDL positions, with clear expectations about their tasks, schedule, and the start and end of their workday.

Working as a Local Yard Driver, employees are home daily and enjoy a consistent schedule with predictable hours. The role involves limited road driving, no customer deliveries, and no touch freight, which significantly reduces stress and unpredictability often associated with driving jobs. The steady, repeatable nature of the work allows drivers to plan their personal lives more effectively and benefit from reliable pay. Entry pay starts at $26.00 per hour, with a $1.00 shift differential depending on the hours worked, and there is also the potential for overtime pay after 40 hours weekly, along with weekly pay and a referral bonus of up to $2,000.

This role requires a valid Class A CDL and a current DOT Medical Card, along with a safe driving record and experience operating tractor-trailers. Candidates must be able to work safely in various weather conditions and be physically capable of getting in and out of the truck throughout their shift. As a Local Yard Driver, you will be responsible for moving trailers within the yard and between dock doors, performing drop and hook operations, conducting pre-trip and post-trip inspections, maintaining accurate logs and documentation, and following all safety procedures and company policies. Communication with dispatch and yard personnel is also a key component of the role.

Lazer Logistics offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid time off and holidays, short- and long-term disability coverage, an Employee Assistance Program, optional pet and voluntary insurance, and participation in the Employee Ownership Program. This makes the Local Yard Driver position not only a consistent and rewarding job but also a well-supported one in terms of employee health, financial security, and overall wellbeing. If you're seeking a rewarding career in logistics with a company committed to safety, innovation, and employee satisfaction, Lazer Logistics in Oakland, CA, could be the perfect fit for you.
