About the Role
Front-End Drivers are the backbone of our waste and recycling operations, operating front-end trucks to service a diverse network of multi-family residential and commercial routes. In this role, you will fulfill customer contracts by collecting solid waste and recyclables, ensuring efficient transport to designated stations, landfills, or drop-off locations. The position requires servicing multiple customers daily along assigned routes, maintaining the highest standards of safety and customer service.
Day in the Life
Your day begins with a thorough pre-trip inspection of the vehicle and equipment, followed by navigating designated routes using key maps and GPS. You will interact courteously with customers and the public, answering questions and addressing requests while ensuring the cleanliness of customer sites by managing spills and debris. The role involves significant physical activity, including maneuvering the truck into tight clearance spaces, operating equipment to dump containers, and climbing to the top of the truck to verify load security.
