About Yard Dawg

We Know the Yard—Because We've Lived It.

Where Yard Dawg began

Meet Kevin Jones, Founder and Lead Spotter

Yard Dawg was built from experience—not theory. Our founder, Kevin Jones. and Lead Spotter has spent his entire career in warehousing. So, Yard Dawg was built by someone who truly understands the flow of a warehouse—from the floor to the yard. With over two decades of hands-on experience in logistics and warehousing, our founder brings deep industry knowledge, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to doing things right the first time.

After spending years working in various warehouse roles and mastering the art of safe and efficient yard spotting, he saw a gap in the industry: a need for reliable, on-demand coverage without the commitment of temp agencies or staffing contracts. That’s how Yard Dawg was born—a flexible solution for freight movement when you need it most.

Safety is not just a checkbox here—it’s a standard. Our drivers have completed safety courses, served on warehouse safety committees, and actively promotes safe operating practices on every job. When you call Yard Dawg, you're not just getting a driver

— you're getting a skilled professional who knows how to keep your yard running smoothly.
