Being a Driver at COMPUTER CRUSHER RECYCLING can be a fun, educational, and rewarding experience. Individuals that maximize their time in the position will learn not only how to safely and efficiently operate their vehicle (if they did not know how to at the time of application) but also the business of logistics and how the recycling process works. Additionally, due to their constant exposure to our core services and unique intimacy with our Clientele, our Drivers often find themselves in an excellent position to grow within COMPUTER CRUSHER RECYCLING.
Driving at COMPUTER CRUSHER RECYCLING is a physical workout: Drivers push, pull, lift, and generally handle containers and materials throughout the course of each day, every day. It is also a mental workout: our trucks are larger than typical passenger vehicles and require healthy doses of patience, concentration, and good temperament to maneuver through crowded (and even empty) streets. As the members of our team best positioned to interact with Clients and the general public on a daily basis, Drivers at COMPUTER CRUSHER RECYCLING also have a heightened responsibility to represent our brand, staff, and values to our clients and the general public.
Applicants should have a local driver's license (CDLs are wonderful, but not necessary). They should be in good physical condition and have a good-natured disposition. They should be punctual and prompt and have reliable transportation to and from work. We do not require any prior professional experience for the position, but applicants must have a good driving record.
What skills do I need and how can I get promoted?
First and foremost, you need to be a safe and considerate driver! Additionally, other drivers on the road will expect you to handle your vehicle extra courteously and responsibly since you are handling a large, commercial vehicle. You should observe all speed limits and obey all street signs.
You should always be kind, hard-working, and have a positive attitude. It also helps if you have dedication: we have a very strong history of employing and promoting individuals that have a strong passion for either the environment, the community, their job, or our company--preferably all of the above!
Drivers at COMPUTER CRUSHER RECYCLING must be at least 24 years of age and hold a valid Texas Driver's License. COMPUTER CRUSHER RECYCLING conducts driving record checks on all applicants, and we strongly prefer that our Drivers are accident and ticket-free for at least three (3) years prior to employment. Applicants may be asked to complete a driving test with a certified instructor to make sure they understand all road signs and are aware of set speed limits.
Friendliness and good communication skills are essential--our Drivers generally spend at least half of their workday interacting with Clients and the general public, and represent our brand, staff, and values every single day.
RECYCLING drivers should always remain friendly and pleasant, even when pick-up conditions are not (it happens!). Attention to detail (i.e. directions, addresses, delivery instructions, etc.) is crucial--getting lost is not an excuse for a missed pick-up.
Good hygiene is important, too! Remember, drivers are literally the face of our company.
Lastly, Drivers need to be good time managers--we expect you to be punctual, but not to rush!
