Smash My Trash
Smash Truck Operator – Job Description
What is Smash My Trash®:
Smash My Trash® is revolutionizing the commercial waste industry. Our business model is simple: Smash My Trash provides mobile waste compaction services to manufacturing, distribution and construction customers. We use proprietary technology to reduce the waste volume in roll-off dumpsters by as much as 70%, saving business owners money, time, and aggravation. Customers can save 20% or more on their waste hauling – savings that can add up to tens of thousands of dollars per year.
Smash My Trash® is serious about environmental stewardship. Our service significantly reduces vehicle CO2 emissions by decreasing the volume of hauling trucks on the road, and we reduce landfill space required by increasing the density of every haul. This makes our service even more attractive to businesses and organizations (especially large ones) with environmental targets and mandates.
The Role:
You will be responsible for safely operating a 26,000 lb. Smash Truck on a daily local route.

In addition, you will act as an account manager to existing customers by interacting with them on a daily basis and driving customer satisfaction. You will be expected to identify growth opportunities within existing customers and address their potential incremental needs.
We value integrity, reliability, positive energy and honesty, and we are committed to delivering an exceptional experience to our customers and employees.
