Job Description

Lazer Logistics is a national leader in yard management, operating across the United States and Canada with a workforce of over 6,000 employees. As a prominent company within the logistics and transportation industry, Lazer Logistics is committed to providing stable, long-term employment opportunities that prioritize safety, consistency, and an excellent quality of life for its workers. The company utilizes modern, well-maintained equipment, including electric vehicle (EV) yard trucks, and is proud of achieving over 2 million zero-emission miles through its EV program. Lazer Logistics not only offers a strong workplace community focused on safety and respect but also provides opportunities for career advancement, including leadership and management roles, and promotes employee ownership through its Employee Ownership Program. The company maintains a supportive environment where employees are valued and encouraged to grow professionally.

This job opening is for the position of Local Yard Driver, a role designed for drivers seeking a consistent, predictable work environment without the challenges of long routes, traffic, or multiple delivery stops. The Local Yard Driver operates within a controlled yard area, focusing exclusively on moving trailers between dock doors and within the yard itself. This position offers a unique advantage for those who prefer to remain in one location during their shift, allowing for a steady workflow without the unpredictability often associated with conventional truck driving roles. Drivers in this role enjoy consistent hours, a predictable schedule, and competitive weekly pay. Starting pay is $22.00 per hour, with a potential shift differential of $2.00 depending on hours worked, and overtime opportunities are available after 40 hours.

Key benefits of the position include the opportunity to be home daily, minimal exposure to highway traffic, and no requirement for customer deliveries or handling freight manually. This role is ideal for individuals seeking a more controlled and less stressful driving experience, as well as those interested in a supportive team atmosphere with an emphasis on safety. Employees have access to a full benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with company matching, paid time off, holidays, short- and long-term disability, an Employee Assistance Program, and optional voluntary insurances. Moreover, Lazer Logistics supports work-life balance and employee well-being by fostering a family-friendly atmosphere and providing a referral bonus of up to $2,000 for successful hires. Working as a Local Yard Driver at Lazer Logistics offers a rewarding career path with stability, environmental responsibility, and professional growth opportunities.
