CDL Truck Driver PTO

Job Description Job Summary

Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments depending on the line of business and truck type. They 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, sometimes weighing over 1,000 pounds, requiring maneuvering of wheeled containers to a pick‑up stage area.
