Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments depending on the line of business they are operating in and the type of truck they are operating. Drivers transport material to a disposal, transfer, or recycle facility when trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial drivers provide the pick‑up service of containers filled with waste or recyclable material, often weighing over 1,000 pounds and requiring careful maneuvering into a pick‑up stage area.

Commercial drivers navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots with highly skilled backing maneuvers. Residential drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and must safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments, also navigating high‑traffic roadways and lots. Roll‑off drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, operating in tight overhead environments while on industrial routes.

Highly skilled backing maneuvers are essential to successfully perform this job.
