Jeff Triplett Sr. has always had a dream of opening his own yard mule business, and 15 years ago, he was able to make that dream come true. He brought with him decades of knowledge that he gained from the best - Melvin Triplett, his father, and Dan Triplett, his grandfather. Although still very involved in the business, he has since passed down the reigns to his son, Jeff Triplett Jr. who makes the fourth generation in the business.
Yard Mule Specialists was opened 15 years ago, continuing Melvin and Dan's vision of serving customers with a small-town touch. Today, we're proud to say that we still live that ideal each and every day. We've been blessed to grow from our small-town roots to selling nationwide and having satellite locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and San Antonio areas, with expansions planned in the near future for Laredo and Louisiana.

Services
Yard Mule Specialists' service team is designed to maximize your up-time. Our fleet of highly trained mobile service technicians are ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, where they can perform most repairs on your worksite.

A Yard Mule is a truck specifically designed for moving containers and semi-trailers in or around warehouses, distribution centers, constructions sites or freight yards. Yard Mules can move trailers about 3x faster than traditional day cabs. They typically have a shorter turning radius for greater manuverability, and a hydraulic 5th wheel, which lifts to move trailer landing gear off the ground.
Yard Mule Specialists has the largest parts inventory in the Gulf Coast area. Don't quite know what you need? That's ok, our experienced Parts Research department can help determine what's necessary to get you back up and running. For most orders, we can have the parts to you same day, with free delivery service in the Houston and surrounding areas.
With faster hookup and release, and a far better turning radius than a day cab, Yard Mules are an easy way to increase productivity at warehousing, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, freight yards, cross docks, construction sites, ports and intermodal ramp, rail operations, and more. They come in single and tandem axle configurations; or come with a variety of gross weight ratings and options.
