Jumpstart Your Career with Rail Terminal Services – Join Our Team in Spokane, WA!

Ready to step into a stable, rewarding job in a recession-proof industry? Rail Terminal Services is hiring right now for a Hostler Driver / Groundperson position working with us at the BNSF Spokane, WA Rail Terminal—and we’re excited to bring YOU on board! No experience? No worries! This entry-level role comes with full on-the-job training—we’ll teach you everything you need to succeed. Think of this as your chance to drive, learn, and grow in a dynamic role that combines Hostler Driver and Ground Person duties—all in one awesome job!

A Little About Us:
You’ll be part of the Rail Terminal Services family (not the railroad itself)—a tight-knit crew with roots at rmsintermodal.com. We’re all about growth, teamwork, and taking care of our people.

Live Close By? Perfect!
We’re looking for folks who already live within a 45-minute commute of Spokane, WA. (Sorry, out-of-area candidates or those needing relocation—we can’t consider you for this one.)

What Your Days (and Nights) Will Look Like:

Shifts include nights, weekends, and some holidays—flexibility is key!
Expect 8-10 hour days in a fast-paced, outdoor setting.

Earn Big from Day One:

Starting Pay: $18.00/hr with the chance to earn $40,000-$55,000 in your first year (hello, overtime!).
Weekly Pay: Get paid every week—no waiting around.

Perks You’ll Love:
(Health benefits kick in after 60 days + the first of the month; other goodies start after your 90-day intro period.)

Affordable healthcare, free dental, and low-cost vision coverage.
Free life insurance—peace of mind included!
Paid holidays, personal days, and vacation pay (earned on your yearly anniversary).
Boot reimbursement and a 401K to help you save.
Yearly raises and overtime opportunities to boost your paycheck.

What You’ll Be Doing:
This isn’t just a job—it’s an adventure! You’ll:

Drive a jockey truck, moving 53ft trailers, containers, and chassis around the rail yard like a pro.
Get hands-on with ground duties—climbing railcars, securing tracks, and handling connectors.
Team up with crane operators, guiding them with hand signals to load and unload equipment.
Stack and unstack chassis, plus load/unload racks—every day’s a little different!
Pitch in wherever needed in our fun, team-focused environment.

What We’re Looking For:

You’re 18+ with a valid driver’s license (no CDL needed!).
You can pass a 7-year background check (no felonies in the last 7 years, jail/parole/probation in the last 5, or pending charges).
You’ll ace a drug test and a physical capabilities test.
No GED or diploma required—just bring strong communication skills and a can-do attitude!

No Railroad Experience? No Problem!
If you’ve worked in a warehouse, driven deliveries, operated a forklift, or tackled outdoor jobs like landscaping or laboring, this could be your perfect fit.
