About The Position

Drivers at WM operate heavy-duty trucks equipped with front, side, or rear-end load lift attachments, depending on the specific line of business and truck type. These drivers are responsible for transporting materials to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities once their trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial Drivers specifically provide pick-up services for containers filled with waste or recyclable materials, which can weigh over 1,000 pounds and may require manual maneuvering to a pick-up stage area.

Residential Drivers focus on collecting household waste or recyclable materials in residential environments, also requiring safe maneuvering in congested areas. Roll-off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open-top and compactor containers from customer locations, navigating various terrains and potentially tight overhead environments on industrial routes, with skilled backing being crucial.
