Commercial Front Load Driver

Commercial Front Load Driver | CDL Class A or B | Local Routes | Home Daily | Full Benefits

Cavossa Disposal Corporation is looking for a dependable, safety-focused Commercial Front Load Driver to join our team full-time.

This position is responsible for servicing an established commercial waste route throughout Cape Cod and the surrounding area. Previous Front Load experience is strongly preferred, but we are willing to consider experienced CDL drivers who have the right driving background, work ethic, and ability to learn the equipment.

This is a hands-on driving position. Our Front Load Drivers do more than stay behind the wheel — you will regularly enter and exit the truck to access containers, open and close enclosures, move smaller commercial containers, and address issues at customer locations.

• Full-time, Monday through Friday
• Rotating Saturday schedule
• Typical start time between 12:00 AM and 3:00 AM
• Drivers work until their assigned route is completed
• Local routes — home daily

Applicants should be comfortable with overnight/early-morning start times and understand that daily finish times can vary based on route volume, traffic, weather, disposal facility conditions, and other operational needs.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Overtime opportunities
• Medical insurance with four plan options
• Dental insurance – 100% employer paid
• Vision insurance – 100% employer paid
• Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)
• 401(k) with up to 4% company match
• $50,000 Life & AD&D policy – 100% employer paid
• Company elective profit sharing
• Local work — home daily

What You'll Do

As a Commercial Front Load Driver, you will be responsible for safely and efficiently completing your assigned route each day. Responsibilities include:

• Operate a commercial Front Load refuse truck on an assigned local route
• Service commercial dumpsters at businesses, restaurants, condominium properties, and other customer locations
• Safely maneuver the truck through parking lots, commercial properties, narrow access points, and container areas
• Frequently enter and exit the truck throughout the shift
• Open and close gates and dumpster enclosures as needed
• Pull out and return 2-yard containers on wheels and reposition containers when necessary to safely complete service
• Inspect container areas and identify access issues, contamination, blocked containers, or other service concerns
• Perform required pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections
• Properly dump collected material at designated disposal facilities
• Maintain a clean, safe, and professional assigned truck
• Follow all company safety procedures and applicable DOT requirements

Communication & Technology

Our drivers work independently on the road, but they are also an important part of our Dispatch and Operations team.

Drivers are expected to:

• Communicate with Dispatch in a timely, clear, and respectful manner
• Respond appropriately when Dispatch contacts them regarding route changes, missed stops, customer concerns, or service instructions
• Communicate problems as they occur, rather than waiting until the end of the route
• Use a company-provided tablet throughout the shift to view route information and record stop completion
• Accurately document blocked containers, service issues, photos, notes, and other route information when required
• Be comfortable learning and using basic technology as part of their daily responsibilities

You do not need to be a technology expert, but you should be comfortable navigating a tablet and learning our routing software.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Valid CDL Class A or Class B
• Current DOT Medical Card
• Acceptable driving record
• Ability to reliably report for 12:00–3:00 AM start times

• Dependable attendance and punctuality
• Strong safety awareness
• Ability to work independently and stay productive throughout the route
• Professional and respectful communication with Dispatch, coworkers, and customers
• Basic comfort using tablets and technology
• Ability to meet the physical requirements of the position

Strongly Preferred:

• Previous Front Load waste or recycling experience
• Previous commercial waste collection experience
• Experience operating heavy commercial vehicles in tight or congested areas
• Familiarity with Cape Cod and surrounding communities

Physical Requirements

This is an active CDL driving position. Drivers must be physically capable of performing duties both inside and outside of the truck throughout their shift, including:

• Frequently entering and exiting the truck cab
• Walking around customer properties and container areas
• Opening and closing gates and dumpster enclosures
• Pushing, pulling, and repositioning wheeled 2-yard commercial containers
• Bending, reaching, climbing, pushing, and pulling as required to safely service containers
