Job Description:
Drivers in this position operate heavy-duty trucks with front or rear end load lift attachment. Using specialized equipment on their truck, they pick-up and service residential or commercial containers filled with waste, recyclable material, or yard waste. Containers may weigh in excess of 1,000 pounds and, at times, may require maneuvering of wheeled containers to a pick-up stage area. They then transport the material to a disposal, transfer or recycle facility when the truck 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 commercial driver.
