About UPS & Our Culture

Behind every smooth sort operation is a perfectly orchestrated trailer yard — and that orchestration belongs to our Yard Control team. UPS Yard Control Associates manage the constant movement of trailers into and out of dock doors across our largest hubs and package centers, ensuring the right trailer is at the right door at exactly the right time. If you are searching for active, outdoor-adjacent UPS warehouse jobs that pair equipment operation with high-level logistics coordination, these pivotal roles sit at the operational center of our entire supply chain and represent some of the most strategically important logistics careers in our ground network.

What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"Yard control is where I found my niche at UPS. You are not on the belt — you are managing the entire trailer ecosystem of the building from the yard. Driving a yard truck to spot trailers, communicating door assignments to the sort sup, and keeping the yard board accurate is genuinely complex and engaging work. The pay is strong, the equipment training is fully funded, and there is nothing quite like this UPS warehouse job in the local market." - Current Yard Control Associate, Kansas City, MO.

Role Overview & Responsibilities

As a UPS Yard Control Warehouse Associate, you manage the inbound and outbound trailer flow in the truck yard of our package center, operating yard trucks to spot trailers at dock doors and maintaining real-time accuracy in the yard management system throughout your shift.

• Yard Truck (Spotter) Operation: Operate a UPS yard truck — a specialized terminal tractor — to move loaded and empty trailers between the yard staging field and assigned dock doors, responding to dock door assignments from the sort supervisor in real time.
• Yard Board Management: Maintain complete and accurate trailer location data in UPS's yard management system, updating every trailer move immediately so that sort supervisors, linehaul drivers, and operations managers have real-time trailer visibility at all times.
• Seal Log Compliance: Record inbound trailer seal numbers and outbound seal applications in the facility's seal log before any trailer departs the yard, maintaining the chain-of-custody documentation required by UPS security and DOT compliance standards.

Benefits & Perks

UPS Yard Control Associates earn an equipment operation premium on top of the Teamsters base hourly wage. All yard truck and terminal tractor operation certifications are fully funded by UPS on-site. Full Teamsters medical, dental, vision, and pension benefits apply, alongside the UPS Earn & Learn tuition assistance program and paid personal time.
