A typical shift for a Yard Mule Driver involves moving trailers to and from loading docks, staging areas, and parking spots within a facility's yard, often coordinated by a yard supervisor or dispatcher. You’ll frequently use communication systems to receive move assignments, perform pre- and post-trip inspections, and ensure all safety protocols are followed when handling equipment.
