Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks with front, side, or rear‑end load lift attachments dependent on the line of business and the type of truck.

Roll‑off Drivers prepare, load, and transport large mobile open‑top and compactor containers from customer locations, navigating driveways, alleyways, lots, and high‑traffic roadways, often in tight overhead environments.
