| Job Description: |
Drivers in this position operate heavy-duty trucks with additional lift/loading attachments. Using specialized equipment on their truck, they prepare, load and transport walking floor trailers to and from disposal sites, transfer stations, and recycle facilities. Containers will weigh in excess of 1,000 pounds and, at times, may require maneuvering to pick-up. They then transport the contents to a disposal, transfer or recycle facility when the container has reached the legal load capacity. Safe driving is crucial when traveling and maneuvering the truck in high traffic / congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots around other vehicles and under highlines. A high level of skill especially regarding backing maneuvers is essential to being successful as a semi / tractor-trailer driver.
