CDL Truck Driver
Waste Management, Compton, CA, United States
Job Summary
Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments, depending on the line of business and the type of truck. 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 (weighing in excess of 1,000 pounds) and may need to maneuver wheeled containers to a pick‑up stage area. They navigate high‑traffic and congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, and perform highly skilled backing maneuvers. Residential Drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and must safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments. Roll‑off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, often in tight overhead environments on industrial routes.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Operate vehicle in accordance with Waste Management Safety and Life Critical Rules, OSHA, and DOT requirements, as well as all local, state, and federal laws.
Perform pre‑ and post‑trip inspections of assigned vehicle and document checks using the standard DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Report).
Immediately report all unsafe situations or service‑related issues to Operations Manager or Dispatch.
Attend and participate in all scheduled training programs, briefings, and meetings as required by WM or directed by the Route Manager.
Work closely with Operations Manager to improve route efficiencies and identify best practices.
Notify Operations Manager of any incidents, accidents, injuries, or property damage.
Notify Operations Manager or Dispatch of service interruptions including closed or impassable streets or alleyways, receptacles too heavy to service, or potential safety hazards.
Communicate customer requests to Operations Manager or Dispatch.
Completely dump all receptacles and leave the customer’s location clean and free of debris.
Follow route assignments as directed and complete end‑of‑day documentation and check‑out process.
