Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks equipped with front, side, or rear‑end load‑lift attachments.

They navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, using skilled backing maneuvers. Residential Drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and safely manoeuvre vehicles in residential environments. Roll‑Off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, operating on industrial routes and sometimes in tight overhead environments, again employing advanced backing skills.
