CDL Utility Driver

POSITION OVERVIEW

Safely operate a container delivery truck (stinger) and its on-board hydraulic systems to deliver and remove commercial solid waste containers, operate the company’s mobile foam (EPS) shredder truck on a recurring schedule, and fill the gaps wherever the operation needs coverage. Container delivery does not fill a full week on its own, so this role is built for a jack of all trades who is willing to get out of the truck and work. Driving is a large part of the day, but it is not the whole job.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

·         Container Delivery:

Containers delivered, placed & removed safely and on schedule - operate on-board hydraulic systems, position containers so potential hazards are minimized or eliminated, cover containers without lids during transport & deliver collected waste to the disposal site.

·         Foam (EPS) Shredder Truck:

Scheduled foam accounts serviced approximately two days per week - collect and feed material, reject contaminated loads, operate the shredder and densifier using prescribed techniques, lock out before clearing jams & deliver processed material to the designated facility.

·         Route Fill-In:

Routed work covered when needed - fill in for absences, vacations & heavy volume days to keep routes on schedule.

·         Yard & Fleet Support:

Yard, fleet & containers kept service-ready - truck wash runs, container and cart cleaning and repair, fleet walks, grounds and yard maintenance & shop support as assigned.

·         Assignment Flexibility:

A full day’s work completed every day - accept and complete any assigned work you are qualified and able to perform; finishing a route early means moving to the next assignment, not a shorter shift.

·         Safety Model:

Zero preventable accidents - model DOT compliance, safe driving behavior & pre/post-trip inspection standards, wear all required PPE and report accidents, injuries & property damage to the Supervisor immediately.

·         Inspections:

Pre/post-trip safety lane inspections and daily truck report completed every day - communicate vehicle mechanical problems to the mechanic and Supervisor immediately and operate equipment using prescribed techniques to eliminate driver-induced mechanical failures.

·         Customer:

Professional demeanor, manner & appearance at every stop - resolve minor issues on site, de-escalate and report outcomes to the Supervisor same day.

·         Documentation:

Accurate records of all services performed - route sheets, weight tickets, inspection reports, hours of service, mileage & proof of service completed as requested by the Supervisor daily.

·         Timekeeping:

Accurate punches and job codes every day - punch out and back in for meal periods and change job codes when the work changes.

·         Yard Inventory:

Containers and equipment staged in an orderly manner - keep the yard organized and accessible.

·         Other duties as assigned.

KEY COMPETENCIES

·         Responsible: The individual takes accountability for their behavior, the condition of their assigned equipment, and daily operational success while seeking growth opportunities.

·         Considerate: The individual is dependable, communicates respectfully with customers, vendors, employees, and management, and promotes a positive company image.

·         Productive: The individual uses company time and resources efficiently, ensuring assigned work is completed safely and on schedule, and seeks out the next assignment rather than waiting for one.
