CDL Truck Driver- Roll Off and Commerical $3000 Sign On Bonus
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 materials to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity.

Roll-off drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open-top and compactor containers from customer locations.

The position follows assigned routes and safety procedures and includes vehicle inspections, customer-service duties, reporting service or safety issues, attending required training and meetings, and completing end-of-day documentation. The role is designated safety sensitive and requires strict compliance with safety rules and protocols, including applicable drug and alcohol testing. This is an on-site position in the Syracuse area, with an early start time and drivers home daily.
