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 they are operating. They 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, some of which may weigh in excess of 1,000 pounds and require maneuvering wheeled containers to a pick‑up stage area.

Commercial Drivers navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, and must perform 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 navigating high‑traffic roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots. 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, sometimes in tight overhead environments on industrial routes, again requiring highly skilled backing maneuvers.
