CDL Truck Driver

About the Role

Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks equipped with front, side, or rear‑end lift attachments, transporting waste or recyclables to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities once legal load capacity is reached. Commercial drivers handle container pick‑ups, often maneuvering 1,000‑plus‑pound containers, while residential drivers collect household waste in congested neighborhoods.
