Job Description

Job Summary

Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks equipped with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments depending on the line of business. They transport material to disposal, transfer, or recycle facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity.

Commercial drivers navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers. Residential drivers collect residential household waste or recyclable material and safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments. Roll‑off drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, navigating driveways, alleyways, lots, and high‑traffic roadways, often in tight overhead environments. All roles require adept parking and backing skills.
