How can I get a sweeper driver job?

The minimum qualifications for a sweeper driver job include a valid driver’s license and the ability to pass both a Department of Transportation physical test and a drug screening. In some cases, you need a commercial driver's license (CDL). The type of license you need depends on the kind of street sweeper you operate and the regions you clean. Some employers also require you to be at least 21 years old. Your responsibilities include working with route managers and following local, municipal, state, and federal laws regulating the operation of street sweepers. You must also be able to lift more than 25 pounds, work outdoors, and have excellent communication and time management skills.
