Join a Solid Team in Montgomery
Road & Rail Services is hiring a Transfer Operator / Yard Dog for our Montgomery location. Since 1987, our mission has been to provide safe, reliable, and efficient rail-related services while protecting the environment and constantly improving. We live by our values of safety, accountability, teamwork, and dependability - and we're looking for someone who wants to bring those same values to work every day
This is demanding, physical outdoor work in Alabama's heat and weather. The right candidate is steady, dependable, and ready to learn a new skill - not someone chasing the "next best thing." If you have experience in outdoor construction, warehouse work, heavy equipment, or industrial labor and you're looking for stability, benefits, and a career path with upward mobility, this could be your opportunity.
This crew is a tight-knit group of hardworking people who support one another and take pride in doing things right. We're not looking for the person with the fanciest resume - we're looking for someone who wants to show up every day, give their best effort, and grow with us long term.
What You'll Do
As a Transfer Operator, your workday will be spent outdoors transferring bulk materials between railcars and tank trucks. You'll use pumps, hoses, and valves to move product safely, sometimes wearing full protective equipment. You'll climb railcars, work at heights, and handle heavy equipment - all while following strict safety procedures that keep you, your team, and the environment safe. Every transfer you complete is part of keeping America's supply chain moving.
As a Yard Dog Operator, you'll also:
Move trailers and tankers safely around the yard and to loading/unloading points using a yard tractor.
Inspect equipment for mechanical or safety issues before and after moves.
Coordinate with loaders and supervisors to ensure smooth flow of traffic in the yard.
Perform minor housekeeping and maintenance tasks to keep the work area organized and safe.
Operate safely at all times and follow FRA and company safety rules without exception.
This combined role offers variety and challenge - some days will focus more on transfer work, while others will emphasize yard movement depending on operational needs.
What We're Looking For
Prior outdoor labor or equipment operation experience (construction, yard hostler, warehouse, or similar)
Valid driver's license (CDL preferred but not required)
Reliable transportation – must be able to arrive on time every day
Willingness to work hard, learn new skills, and commit long term
Stable work history – frequent job changes are not a good fit for this role
Safety-first mindset and ability to follow detailed procedures
What We Offer
$17/hour starting pay
Steady Monday–Friday day shift
Full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, 401(k
Annual steel-toed boot allowance & all PPE provided
Career growth opportunities with a company that promotes from within
Ready to Apply?
If you're dependable, motivated, and want a career - not just another job - we want to meet you. Join Road & Rail Services in Montgomery as a Transfer Operator / Yard Dog and be part of a company that values hard work, teamwork, and long-term success.
