No, they don't.

Out of the 3 blood vessels: veins, arteries and capillaries, only the ARTERIES have a pulse. This pulse occurs because of the method the arteries use to pump blood. When you feel for a pulse on the neck, wrist etc... you are pressing the artery against bone which is how the rhythem is felt. Hope this helped :)
