Class A CDL Driver (Fife, WA)

DM Disposal, a Waste Connections company, is hiring an experienced Class A CDL Driver to operate a variety of specialized equipment, including hook lift trucks, grapple trucks, and mosquito trucks used for debris, yard waste, and bulky material collection throughout Western Washington, with primary service areas based around Fife, Washington.

This role is work order–based rather than route-based, requiring flexibility and the ability to travel to different job sites across the region. It is a hands-on, equipment-focused position that combines skilled driving with the operation of hydraulic systems to safely pick up, load, and transport materials that standard collection vehicles cannot handle.

If you have experience operating manual-transmission trucks and working with roll-off, hook-lift, grapple, or other heavy equipment, and are seeking a stable, full-time driving position with competitive pay and strong benefits, this is a great opportunity.

Competitive hourly wage: $35.00–$35.50 per hour
Full-time, Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturdays as needed
Approximately 45-hour work week with overtime opportunities
