Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments, depending on the line of business. They transport material to disposal, transfer, or recycle facilities when trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial drivers pick up containers filled with waste or recyclable material, often weighing in excess of 1,000 pounds, and maneuver them onto a pick‑up stage. Drivers navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, performing highly skilled backing maneuvers.

Residential drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments. Roll‑off drivers prepare, load, and transport large open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, operating in tight overhead environments on industrial routes.
