Home Daily

We are looking for a dependable, hard-working Class B CDL Driver who takes pride in doing a job well, works safely, and understands that the day is finished when the route is finished.

This is not a position for someone looking to simply clock in and clock out. Our drivers are an important part of the communities we serve. They represent our company every time they drive through a neighborhood, interact with a customer, help a teammate, or solve a problem on the route.

We are looking for people who show up ready to work, stay focused, take responsibility, and help the team get the job done.

What You'll Do

As a Garbage Truck Driver, you will safely operate a commercial refuse collection vehicle while completing assigned residential routes.

Responsibilities include:

• Safely operate a Class B commercial garbage truck.
• Complete residential collection routes accurately and efficiently.
• Begin routes promptly and be ready for the first scheduled stops of the day.
• Perform required pre-trip and post-trip inspections.
• Follow DOT regulations and company safety procedures.
• Properly document vehicle issues, route problems, missed stops, contamination, blocked carts, or other service concerns.
• Maintain awareness of surroundings, pedestrians, vehicles, mailboxes, overhead obstacles, and property.
• Communicate professionally with dispatch, supervisors, teammates, and customers.
• Adapt to route changes, equipment changes, weather, traffic, breakdowns, and unexpected situations.
• Assist teammates when needed to ensure all routes are completed.
• Help keep trucks clean, organized, and ready for service.
• Protect company equipment and treat trucks as if they were your own.
• Represent the company professionally while working in our community.
• Perform other duties reasonably necessary to complete daily operations.

The Person We're Looking For

The right driver is someone who:

• Shows up on time, prepared, and ready to work.
• Understands that reliability matters.
• Has a strong work ethic and personal accountability.
• Remains focused throughout long workdays.
• Limits personal cell phone use during working time and remains focused on safe, productive route completion.
• Is comfortable working independently.
• Can also step into a leadership role when the situation requires it.
• Communicates problems instead of ignoring them.
• Looks for solutions rather than excuses.
• Handles changes without becoming discouraged or disruptive.
• Maintains a professional, positive attitude even when the day gets difficult.
• Is willing to help another driver or route when needed.
• Takes pride in finishing the day's work.
• Understands that sanitation is an essential service and customers depend on us every week.
• Works well in a team environment and does not contribute to unnecessary workplace conflict or negativity.

Our Work Culture

Our team operates around a few simple principles:

Do what you say you're going to do.
Reliability builds trust with customers and with each other.

Take ownership.
If there is a problem, communicate it, help solve it, and keep moving.

Serve people well.
Customers are the reason we have jobs. Be respectful, helpful, and professional.

Work safely.
Getting the route finished matters, but getting everyone home safely matters more.

Help the team win.
Sometimes that means helping another route, adjusting plans, or doing something outside your normal routine.

Lead where you are.
Leadership is not a job title. We expect drivers to use good judgment, take initiative, and set the example.

Bring solutions, not unnecessary drama.
Waste collection can be unpredictable. We value people who stay level-headed, adaptable, and focused on getting the job done.

Schedule

This position offers a 4-day workweek: Monday through Thursday.

Drivers report at approximately 5:00 AM.

Typical workdays are approximately 10–12 hours, depending on route volume, weather, traffic, equipment, and operational needs.

Because routes must be completed, the exact end time can vary.

You are home every day.
