Driver Roll Off
Waste Management, Topeka, KS, 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 materials to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities once the trucks reach legal load capacity. Commercial drivers pick up containers filled with waste or recyclable material, often weighing over 1,000 pounds, and maneuver wheeled containers to the pickup stage. They navigate high‑traffic, congested roadways, driveways, alleyways, and lots, and must perform highly skilled backing maneuvers. Residential drivers collect household waste or recyclable material and safely maneuver vehicles in residential environments. Roll‑off drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, operating in tight overhead environments on industrial routes and also requiring advanced backing skills.

Operate the vehicle in accordance with Waste Management Safety and Life Critical Rules, OSHA, DOT requirements, and all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
Perform pre‑ and post‑trip inspections and document checks using the standard DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Report).
