Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments depending on the line of business and the type of truck. They transport material to disposal, transfer, or recycle facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial Drivers provide pick‑up services of containers filled with waste or recyclable material—containers may weigh over 1,000 pounds and may need to be maneuvered to a pick‑up stage area.

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