About The Position

WIN Waste Innovations is seeking a Commercial Driver to operate heavy-duty trucks equipped with front- or rear-end load lift attachments.

Drivers inspect and document their vehicles, communicate service issues and customer requests, maintain container placement and cleanliness at customer locations, complete route and end-of-day documentation, and work with Route Managers and Dispatch to meet customer needs. The normal work setting is outdoors and/or in a video- and GPS-monitored vehicle. Employees are exposed to dirt, odors, noise, and weather extremes or similar conditions for much of the workday. The role requires frequent handling of objects weighing more than 50 pounds and pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, and lifting up to 50 pounds.
