6d•$22 - $31

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 collect waste or recyclable materials and transport full loads to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities. Commercial drivers service customer containers, which may weigh more than 1,000 pounds and may need to be moved to a pickup area. Residential drivers collect household waste and recyclables. Roll-off drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile containers from customer locations. The work involves navigating congested streets, driveways, alleyways, lots, and, on some industrial routes, tight overhead environments; skilled backing is essential. Drivers are expected to operate vehicles and equipment safely and reliably, follow assigned routes, complete inspections and documentation, and meet customer service needs. The position is safety-sensitive and requires compliance with applicable safety rules, protocols, and government regulations. The posting says drivers are home at night and on weekends. The stated pay range is $22.00–$31.00 per hour. The schedule is Monday through Friday with an early start. The title advertises a $5,000 sign-on bonus, though the corresponding bonus field in the posting is shown as a placeholder.
