As a Front-End Driver at GFL Industries, you will be responsible for operating front-end trucks that provide essential waste removal and recycling services to a variety of multi-family residential and commercial routes. This role involves servicing multiple customers each day according to assigned routes, ensuring that waste is efficiently collected and transported to the appropriate disposal or recycling facilities. You will play a crucial role in fulfilling customer contracts by maintaining high standards of service and safety throughout your daily operations. Your primary duties will include driving commercial frontload trucks along designated routes to mechanically collect solid waste and transport it to post-collection facilities. You will need to open container enclosures or gates to access waste cans, and as necessary, roll 3-4-yard cans into position for dumping. Daily pre- and post-trip inspections of the vehicle are mandatory, and you will be required to complete and submit a vehicle condition report at the end of each shift. Customer interaction is a key aspect of this position, as you will courteously engage with customers and the general public along your route, addressing any questions or requests they may have. Additionally, you will be responsible for maintaining a clean work environment by cleaning up any loose trash that spills during the dumping process. You will also be required to maintain and submit various logs and reports, including a DOT logbook, daily route/productivity sheets, and vehicle condition reports, in compliance with legal and company policies. Maneuvering the truck in and out of tight spaces using mirrors and GPS for navigation is essential, as is adherence to all relevant DOT, OSHA, FMCSA, and EPA regulations. This position may also involve performing other job-related duties as assigned by your supervisor.
