CDL Truck Driver PTO

Job Summary

Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments dependent on the line of business and the type of truck. Drivers transport material to a disposal, transfer or recycle facility when trucks reach legal load capacity.

Commercial Drivers navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers. Residential Drivers collect residential household waste or recyclable material, safely maneuvering vehicles in residential environments, and navigate similar congested routes. Roll‑off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, navigating driveways, alleyways, lots, heavy‑traffic roadways, and tight overhead environments on industrial routes, again requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers.
