Job Description

Lazer Logistics is a reputable logistics and transportation company known for its commitment to providing efficient and reliable service across the United States. Based in Cedar Rapids, IA, Lazer Logistics specializes in third-party logistics services, offering innovative freight solutions to a diverse range of industries. The company prides itself on fostering a positive work environment, emphasizing employee safety, satisfaction, and work-life balance. With a strong network and advanced technology, Lazer Logistics continues to grow and deliver excellent service to its customers. The company offers a stable career environment with opportunities for advancement and comprehensive benefits designed to support employees and their families.

The Local Yard Driver role at Lazer Logistics in Cedar Rapids offers one of the most consistent and predictable careers available for CDL drivers. Unlike traditional driving jobs that involve long routes, multiple stops, and extensive time spent on the road, this position keeps you in a single location throughout your shift. As a Local Yard Driver, you will be responsible for moving trailers within the yard, ensuring safe operations in a controlled and low-traffic environment. This role is ideal for drivers who value routine, steady work, and a more manageable day-to-day driving experience.

In this position, drivers will benefit from a consistent schedule, allowing them to be home daily without the stress and unpredictability of long-haul driving. The job offers limited road driving and no exposure to highway traffic, further enhancing safety and reducing stress. Additionally, there is no handling of freight, no customer deliveries, and no multi-stop routes, allowing drivers to focus solely on trailer movement within the yard. This operational setup ensures predictable hours and reliable pay, providing drivers with a balanced lifestyle and financial security.

The pay range for this role is between $22.00 and $23.00 per hour with opportunities for overtime after 40 hours each week. Drivers also enjoy weekly pay and the potential for referral bonuses up to $2,000. Beyond financial benefits, Lazer Logistics offers a full benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with company match, paid time off and holidays, short- and long-term disability coverage, and an Employee Assistance Program. Optional pet and voluntary insurance options, along with an Employee Ownership Program, are additional perks that demonstrate the company's dedication to the well-being and satisfaction of its workforce.

This Local Yard Driver role is an excellent opportunity for CDL holders looking for a stable, predictable, and rewarding driving job in a supportive company environment. If you seek a job that reduces the demands of traditional driving roles while providing competitive pay and comprehensive benefits, this position with Lazer Logistics in Cedar Rapids is a perfect fit.
