About The Position

Commercial CDL drivers operate heavy-duty trucks equipped with front-, side-, or rear-end load-lift attachments, depending on the line of business and vehicle. They pick up containers of waste or recyclable materials and transport loads to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity. Containers may weigh more than 1,000 pounds and may need to be moved to a pickup stage area. Drivers navigate congested roads, driveways, alleyways, and lots; skilled backing is essential. Drivers are expected to operate vehicles and equipment safely and reliably.

The role requires compliance with company safety rules, OSHA and DOT requirements, and applicable laws. Drivers inspect and document their vehicles, report safety and service issues, follow assigned routes, complete end-of-day documentation, communicate customer requests and route hazards, and help keep customer locations clean. The position is designated safety sensitive and includes required drug and alcohol testing under applicable regulations and company policies.

Drivers work hard and drive safely, are home at night and on weekends, and are offered competitive pay, benefits, and opportunities for growth. Benefits may vary by site.
