agreed, lot of drivers get irritated at us for being ''impatient'' of ''pushy''. now they can see what we do all day.

Juan you are a rare breed of hard working people a lot of people admire your work hope to see you soon

Thanks for the ride Juan.

Thank you Juan! Never knew what it was like having your job. They should splurge and give you two fans. No AC i see. Thanks for your hard work.

There is AC in all trucks unless broken. The ac doesn’t matter most of the time because that back door stays open 80 to 90 percent of the time, so that little worthless fan is needed believe it or not lol

What a creative idea for your channel! No wonder your KZread presence is soaring!

Hey, John!! That yard jockey was having the time of his life playing with your head cam. lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now I know that yard jockeys work harder than the lumpers, as they have to move trailers, back them up, and they never stop. I'm happy that you let him use it for a short run to and fro. Now we all know how hard they work. Laterz 🤗😁🐸

That is cool that you show a yard Jockey point of view!! GG

thank you juan and jbg for shareing that with us that was cool

Great video idea, JBG. Thumbs up!

I love this one John, Juan was awesome

One of your best videos.

Juan is the kind of employee I would want on my crew. He has hustle in his bustle. NOT the guard.

This was badass!! Great video!!

Thanks for the videos John have a great day from westmlnster MD

Man does that bring back the memories, 6 days a week, 12 hr shifts...all on swing...go..go...go..one trailer after another..and hardly any breaks,can hear it now...James I need trailer 188 over here now,line 3 trailer is empty,grab trailer 208,and swap with line 3......and all my yard was gravel.................

I know the feeling sir. I also did this for 20 years....We ran from a computer monitor in the cab....clear one move then another one pops up....Hotter then two Hells in the summer, yard was on a hill top so the wind chill in the winter was often below zero. I'm retired from it now but watching this definitely brought back some memories. ..thanks John.

The place I work as a yard driver I work 3 12 hr days and have 4 days off. I love so far. Have been doing it for 2 years now. It is a good size place. I work on the cool/freezer yard and then across the road is the dry side where I started at. Its great being home and sleeping in my own bed!

Awesome video! I have a buddy that's a yard jockey.

I want to drive one !!

Great video ! Especially that BLIND SIDE backing at the end of the video. Now THAT was IMPRESSIVE ! I've been a Yard Jockey for 2 days and would love to see him or anyone else post up how to properly do setups and say were the "marks' are for backing these switcher trucks. NOT at all like backing with a fullsized tractor with a sleeper. Not even close.

That last maneuver was not blind side it was a U Back or a U-Turn Back. You do a U-Turn Half way until you see the location of where you’re going then straight line back, hope this helped.

i always wondered how those lil trucks handle. Thanks, Juan!

This is awesome he's quick like the ending you made his day

Thank you for your video 🙏🏾 is there training in yard jockey jobs for students coming from trucking school?

Great video and what a great guy

That was so cool.

Please make more videos like this i love yard dogs

He drop and hook the trailers so fast. thanx jbg

I used to be yard jockey for FedEx ground (they call em switchers) and it really was a fun job to me (NEVER woke up in the morning fretting work), and it wasn't til they started to enforce stricter rules for us then it started to lose it's appeal.

I was a yard jockey in Denver at a local trucking company. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it

Pretty cool stuff. We can definitely hear the air leak when in high range, when you shift into 6th and it goes away on the low side.

I'm also a Yard Jockey and a Yard Jockey Trainer myself for P&G at their site in Vandailia, OH. Do you guys use tandem axle Ottawa yard tractors and if so how do you like them compared to the single axles?

Awesome video JBG have a great rest of your week my friend. Might want to avoid Wisconsin for awhile tons of flooding and tornado warnings for much of the state check the Weather channel for more info be safe out there my friend.

THANK YOU! - GOD BLESS!!!!

I miss doing the Yard hostling...really need to get my CDL.

Thank you Mr. Yard/jockey. You did good😉👍

Thank you 🙏 form Oklahoma city

Now that is bad ass. Fast worker!

That was awesome!

Awesome video!

ty for this video i quit 4 years otr to become a yard jockey

Tornado warning in Parnell Wisconsin moving northeast I'm not sure where Shebogan is from there but you may want to call home

I remember when I was a dock worker for roadway express in the early 90s they always had me running the yard dog because the reg guys kept damaging the yard truck and didn't want to put propane to run it. no ac no windows. barely ran. at least he had a fan lol!!!!

That was fun. great to se how jockey works

That was pretty cool.

Hey John your getting it done.

Great video!

I drove one earlier in my interview to see if I can back that thang up...I sho did back that thing up. I get to start work tomorrow. The pay is low for someone who can maneuver a truck n trailer with a cdl. I'm going OTR soon glade my back skills will be on point doing yard dog for month than hit the road.

Nice alternate view of the yard mule at work moving those trailers around

Love driving the Ottawa!!

Thanks for this video to. New job 2020 switcher job. Always my GOD first¡¡ god bless you brother for you time

I’m a yard jockey/Driver. It’s fun but exhausting due to the heat because you have to open the back door all day and the blow back from the heat is crazy sometimes. I’ve done it for a few months and my skills are amazing!

JBG thanks for showing Juan work skills

It's fun watching professionals do their thing.

that was a great video. god bless

I'm a yard jockey as well. What brand does your sit use and do you prefer tandem or single axle trucks?

Thanks Juan!!!

Amazing video.....

this is a wonderful wonderful video game 👍👍👍💪💪💪✌✌✌

Brilliant good video🎥

Here I was thinking "Dang John, I want to know what kind of diet you're on..." then I saw the tattoos lol, you had me fooled John. lol no actually I thought someone stole your camera.

¡Great video!

that was something different, thanksJuan and Johnny

Awesome video

Thank you brother.

So many questions I want to ask.... no light cable hook up or other trailer brake....nice trailer back up skills though. How many trailers do you touch a day?

@bob-jo5gd

5 жыл бұрын

Using the light cord in the daylight depends on the policies of the various trucking companies. The service brake line isn't necessary when moving empty trailers as the brakes on the yard tractor is more than sufficient to stop quickly.

Awesome JBG.

Thought it was JBG for a moment there did this for a bit

Very nice jbg thanks

Super idea!

Great video

I was just watching the weather channel and there is a flash flood warning for Shebogan Wisconsin

Also, I noticed Juan has that "missing horn button" common on Kalmar trucks, but I also see twin screw mules, never seen those in person.

Very interesting video 👍

Thx juan!!

wholesome guy, respect :)

How you do this in bad weather
