About The Position

Drivers operate heavy-duty trucks with front, side, or rear-end load lift attachments, depending on their line of business and truck type. They transport material to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial Drivers pick up containers filled with waste or recyclable material, which may weigh more than 1,000 pounds and may need to be maneuvered to a pickup stage area. Residential Drivers collect household waste or recyclables and safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments. Roll-off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open-top and compactor containers from customer locations. Drivers may navigate congested roads, driveways, alleyways, and lots, and roll-off routes may involve tight overhead environments. Skilled backing maneuvers are essential for the role. The position operates Monday through Friday, with occasional weekends, and drivers are home nightly. This safety-sensitive role requires strict compliance with safety rules and protocols. Employment may involve drug and alcohol testing, including pre-employment, post-incident, reasonable-suspicion, and random testing, consistent with regulations and company policies. The expected U.S. base pay range is $30.00–$32.00 per hour, with the specific offer influenced by relevant experience, education, training, certifications, qualifications, and work location. Eligible employees receive a competitive total compensation package, which may vary by site.
