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 truck type. They transport materials to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial Drivers collect waste or recyclable material from containers, which may weigh more than 1,000 pounds and may need to be maneuvered to a pickup area. Residential Drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and safely operate in residential environments. Roll-off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open-top and compactor containers from customer locations. The work involves navigating congested roads, driveways, alleyways, and lots; roll-off routes may also involve tight overhead environments. Skilled backing maneuvers are essential for some routes.

It is designated safety sensitive and requires strict compliance with safety rules and protocols. Employment requirements may include drug and alcohol testing, including pre-employment, post-incident, reasonable-suspicion, and random testing in accordance with regulations and company policies.
