Description

Do you have a sharp eye for detail and confident skills behind the wheel? The DeLong Co. is hiring a Spotter Driver at our Omaha, NE facility — someone who can safely move trailers and shipping containers around our yard, keep equipment inspections sharp, and keep pace in a fast-moving logistics environment. This is a yard-only driving role — no CDL required, and you'll never operate on public roads.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As Spotter Driver, you'll keep trailers and containers moving safely and efficiently around our yard. Day to day, you will:

• Perform pre-trip and post-trip inspections on assigned yard trucks each shift, reporting any mechanical issues or safety concerns
• Safely back, spot, hook, and unhook approximately 30 trailers per day, including 40-ft and 20-ft trailers with mounted shipping containers
• Open and close container doors on approximately 30 containers per day
• Communicate clearly and consistently with team members and dispatch using handheld two-way radios
• Move trailers between dock doors, staging areas, and yard spots as directed
• Follow all yard safety protocols and traffic patterns at all times
