What is a front end driver?

Front End Drivers are professionals who operate specialized vehicles, typically garbage trucks or waste collection vehicles, that are loaded from the front. Their primary responsibility is to collect waste or recyclables from designated locations, transport them to disposal or recycling centers, and ensure proper handling of materials. This role often requires a commercial driver's license (CDL), attention to safety protocols, and the ability to perform basic vehicle maintenance. Front End Drivers play a vital part in keeping communities clean and supporting public health.
