They communicate customer requests, dump receptacles cleanly, follow assigned routes, complete end‑of‑day documentation, and assist fellow drivers as needed. • Operate heavy‑duty trucks in compliance with WM safety, OSHA, DOT, and all legal regulations. • Conduct pre‑ and post‑trip vehicle inspections and complete DVIR documentation. • Report unsafe conditions, incidents, accidents, or service interruptions immediately. • Participate in all required trainings, briefings, and meetings. • Collaborate with Operations Manager to optimize route efficiency and share best practices. • Communicate customer requests to dispatch and ensure clean disposal of receptacles. • Follow assigned routes, complete end‑of‑day paperwork, and assist other drivers when needed. • Perform physical tasks such as lifting, pushing, pulling, crouching, and reaching as required.
