ABOUT SMASH MY TRASH®
We provide mobile compaction services, saving businesses time and money by safely reducing roll-off dumpster waste volume by up to 70%. Our mission is to fundamentally disrupt commercial material management by redefining the business model, significantly reducing waste processing costs, and pursuing genuine environmental stewardship. Our mobile smash machine is revolutionizing the waste industry. We significantly reduce vehicle CO2 emissions by decreasing the volume of hauling trucks on the road and reduce the landfill space required by increasing the density of every haul. The more we smash, the more we're able to help our clients and the environment - it's a win-win!
We have the technology and equipment, but we can't provide exceptional customer service without our amazing team. In order to hire and retain team members who share our values, we offer competitive pay, a positive work culture, and potential for career growth.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRUCK DRIVER / HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATOR
As a Truck Driver / Heavy Equipment Operator, you are responsible for safely and efficiently operating our “Mobile Smash Machines” or flatbed trucks which are outfitted with state-of-the-art hydraulic machinery to compact the contents of dumpsters. You drive a daily route and expertly provide this service for your clients. To them, you and your truck represent the Smash My Trash brand, so you always ensure that you look professional and your truck is clean, well-maintained, and safe to operate, and regularly scheduled inspections are completed. You work as a team member and facilitate SMASH demos to prospects with our Sales Account Manager. You immediately report any issues to dispatch and keep up-to-date and accurate records. Your clients appreciate your friendly customer service and quality work by following all quality control procedures. You will represent Smash My Trash brand by helping our Account Manager at area events and programs by bringing our Smash Truck to the events and help field any technical questions. You will attend training events as needed to ensure you are kept up to date on any new Smash My Trash truck features, upgrades, or changes to the operating procedures. You enjoy driving and smashing all day long, but you never lose sight of safety and customer service. It feels good to reduce both waste hauling and operational costs for your clients!
