CDL Truck Driver - Commercial Front Load

I. Job Summary

Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks equipped with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments depending on the line of business and truck type. Drivers transport material to disposal, transfer, or recycle facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial Drivers provide pick‑up service of containers filled with waste or recyclable material. Containers may weigh in excess of 1,000 pounds and may require drivers to maneuver wheeled containers to a pick‑up stage area.

Commercial Drivers navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, using highly skilled backing maneuvers. Residential Drivers are responsible for collecting residential household waste or recyclable material and must safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments, also using skilled backing maneuvers. Roll‑off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations. They navigate driveways, alleyways, lots, and high‑traffic roadways, operating in tight overhead environments on industrial routes, again requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers.
