What is a vactor driver?

A Vactor Driver is a professional responsible for operating specialized vacuum trucks, commonly known as vactor trucks, to clean and maintain sewer lines, storm drains, catch basins, and other underground utilities. These trucks use high-pressure water and powerful suction to remove debris, sludge, and blockages from pipelines. Vactor Drivers must be skilled in handling heavy equipment, understanding municipal infrastructure, and following safety protocols. Their work is essential for preventing flooding, maintaining sanitary conditions, and supporting public health in communities.
