At my job, the Yardmen use "yard trucks" instead of tractors in the yard. Is there a reason why they use "yard trucks" instead of tractors?
Yard trucks are designed for easy hookup, and unhooking. Some even have hydraulic lifts on the fifth wheel so that the front trailer legs do not have to be cranked up and down. The trailer front is lifted to be moved.

Yard Trucks -An Introduction..
Me, giving a brief rundown on yard trucks.
Gary working to close down scrap yard where fire raged on Saturday
22.11.11
An extensive fire this weekend at a scrap yard near the Gary/Chicago International Airport appears to be the last straw for city officials.
Before Saturday’s fire, Gary officials filed a case against Summit Inc. in Gary City Court with the goal of shutting the business down for violating city ordinances and codes.
Now the city will work to have Summit shut down before the January court date, Gary Corporation Counsel Susan Severtson said Monday.
“Obviously they are a danger to surrounding citizens, surrounding businesses and not to mention their own employees,” Severtson said. “They have not managed to bring the business in compliance and operate in a safe manner. Long before this fire, we had made that determination as well.”
Gary had worked with Summit for the company to comply but those attempts were unsuccessful.
The city had cited the company for a number of violations, including failing to have a proper licensure, Severtson said.
