The Opportunity

As a Residential ASL Driver, you are the face of GFL. Operating a modern, fully automated side-loading truck, you will navigate curbside routes to provide seamless waste removal for our neighbors. This is a solo-operator role that rewards independence, precision, and a commitment to safety.

• Master the Machine: Operate state-of-the-art automated side-loading trucks and hydraulic systems with expert precision.
• Own Your Route: Safely collect solid waste or recyclables on assigned residential routes, ensuring every customer receives "Green Ribbon" service.
• Safety First: Conduct rigorous pre- and post-trip inspections. At GFL, safety isn't a box to check-it's our way of life.

• The Strength: Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs repetitively and the stamina to handle the physical demands of the road.
• The Skills: Excellent spatial awareness (backing up 120+ feet in tight spaces) and the ability to recognize unacceptable waste materials.
• The Mindset: A self-starter attitude with the flexibility to adapt to changing weather conditions and route needs.

Working Conditions & Physical Demands

Enjoy the outdoors! You'll be exposed to various weather conditions and the hum of a high-performance fleet. This role requires sitting approximately 75% of the time while driving, with frequent movement for vehicle checks and maintenance.
