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 for containers filled with waste or recyclable material, which may weigh over 1,000 pounds and require maneuvering through tight spaces.

Residential drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and navigate high‑traffic residential environments. Roll‑off drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, often operating in tight overhead environments and industrial routes. All drivers must perform highly skilled backing maneuvers to complete their duties safely.
