Grapple Truck Driver

GFL Environmental Inc.•Gainesville, FL

About The Position

Grapple Truck Driver Do You Have a "Claw" for Excellence? Join GFL as a Grapple Truck Driver! 🏗️🚛 Are you tired of the same old "pick up a bin, put down a bin" routine? Do you look at arcade claw machines and think, "I could do that better, but with a 20-ton truck"? At GFL Environmental, we don’t just drive; we operate heavy-duty machinery that keeps our communities looking sharp. We’re looking for a Grapple Truck Driver who’s part skilled navigator, part hydraulic artist, and 100% a safety pro. The "Grip" on Your Daily Routine Forget the gym—you’ll be flexing your mental and mechanical muscles every day. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Be the Neighborhood Hero: You’re the one who clears the "big stuff"—storm debris, old sofas, and yard waste that regular trucks won't touch. The Master of Hydraulics: You’ll use the grapple arm to snatch up bulk waste with surgical precision (and zero property damage). King of the Cab: Navigate local routes in a high-tech rig, keeping things "Green For Life" while listening to your favorite tunes. Home for Dinner: No long-haul burnout here. Our drivers are local, meaning you’re back in your own driveway every single night. Why You’ll Love the GFL Crew We’re not just a waste management company; we’re a team of over 20,000 employees who actually enjoy what we do. Yellow is the New Green: Work for one of the fastest-growing environmental services companies in North America. Ready to Grab This Opportunity?
