Drivers operate heavy-duty trucks 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 and provide pickup service for containers of waste or recyclable material. Depending on the assignment, drivers may collect commercial or residential material or prepare, load, and transport large open-top and compactor containers. The work involves navigating high-traffic roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots; some industrial routes may have tight overhead environments. Drivers may need to maneuver wheeled containers weighing more than 1,000 pounds, and skilled backing maneuvers are essential. The position follows a Monday–Friday schedule with a 5 a.m. start time and some weekends. The listed pay range is $22.00–$31.00 per hour. A new-hire sign-on bonus is advertised, though its amount is not stated in the description. This is a safety-sensitive role requiring strict compliance with safety rules and protocols.
