About The Position

Drivers operate heavy-duty trucks equipped with front-, side-, or rear-end load-lift attachments, depending on the line of business and vehicle. They transport material to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity and provide pickup service for containers holding waste or recyclable material. Depending on the route, drivers may maneuver heavy wheeled containers, collect residential waste, or prepare, load, and transport large mobile open-top and compactor containers. The work involves navigating congested roads, driveways, alleyways, lots, and sometimes tight overhead environments; skilled backing maneuvers are essential. Drivers are expected to operate vehicles and equipment safely and reliably, follow assigned routes, and provide dependable service to customers and communities. Drivers are home at night and on weekends.
