Are you the kind of person who can back a trailer into a tight spot better than most people can park a car? If so, we may have the perfect seat for you.

As a Yard Jockey, you'll be the traffic controller of our food distribution operation, keeping trailers moving, docks flowing, and drivers smiling. You'll shuttle trailers between dock doors and yard locations, organize equipment, and help ensure that the right products get loaded onto the right trucks at the right time. In short, you'll keep the wheels of our operation turning, literally.

This role requires a CDL drivers license, safe driving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment where every move matters. If you enjoy being behind the wheel, solving logistical puzzles, and making sure chaos never gets a chance to settle in, we'd love to meet you.

We proudly offer overtime pay after 40 hours, generous weekly incentive bonuses, a well‑rounded benefits package, 401(k) with employer match, and three weeks of PTO.

We are Wagner Food service, a one of a kind food distribution company located in Glen Burnie, MD.
