CDL-A Roll-Off Truck Driver – Greensboro, NC | Home Daily

Tractor-based CDL-A roll-off work serving construction, commercial and industrial accounts from a Greensboro-area yard. Drivers place, exchange and haul loaded containers to local transfer and disposal facilities.

• Deliver, exchange and retrieve roll-off containers at construction and commercial sites.
• Operate hydraulic roll-off equipment and complete securement checks before leaving each location.
• Coordinate container placement with contractors, property managers and dispatch.
• Haul loaded containers to assigned transfer stations or C&D disposal facilities.
• Complete scale-house, disposal and electronic trip documentation.
• Inspect truck, hydraulics, hooks/cables, tires, lights and container condition throughout the shift.
• Work safely around active construction sites, uneven ground, dust and heavy equipment.

Local roll-off productivity is driven by stops, site access and disposal timing, so the carrier pays hourly with overtime rather than by the mile.

Experienced drivers who consistently work overtime can exceed $70,000 annually. Actual earnings vary with route volume, weather and disposal-site conditions.

Drivers inspect hydraulic components, hooks, cables, locks, tires, lights and container condition before every movement. Roadside support runs through the company maintenance network; routine service is handled at the Greensboro-area shop.

Most work is short local container movements between customer sites and disposal facilities rather than fixed long-haul lanes. Drivers do not manually load ordinary C&D debris; the container is loaded at the customer site and the driver handles placement, pickup, securement and transport.

• Burnt Poplar Transfer Station for municipal, commercial and other solid waste streams; White Street Landfill for construction debris and yard waste generated within Guilford County.

• Valid CDL Class A with air-brake qualification
• Approximately 6–12 months commercial driving experience preferred; previous roll-off, dump, construction, waste or heavy-equipment experience strongly preferred

• Construction-site access can change or become blocked by equipment during the day.
• Containers may not be ready, or a customer may request repositioning on arrival.
• Disposal facilities experience heavier queues in morning and late-afternoon periods.
• I-40, I-85 and local Triad traffic or construction slowdowns affect travel time.
• Heavy rain can make unpaved job sites unsuitable for a loaded truck.
• Seasonal construction volume and holiday disposal-hour changes alter daily sequencing.

Greensboro’s CDL market is shaped by manufacturing plants, ongoing construction, distribution centers, waste and recycling operations, and regional freight moving along the I-40/I-85 corridor. Local openings regularly appear for municipal fleets, national and regional waste companies, LTL carriers, distribution fleets and specialized environmental-service operators. Many drivers in the Triad prefer home-daily work, so competition remains steady for both CDL-A and CDL-B positions. Roll-off and construction-related roles typically sit above basic collection-truck pay because they require independent equipment handling and job-site judgment. Demand holds through most of the year, with warmer months bringing higher container volume from building activity. Drivers who already know heavy-commercial or hydraulic equipment find a ready market across the Greensboro–High Point–Winston-Salem area.

The central Piedmont Triad concentrates manufacturing, commercial development, warehousing, recycling and continuous construction activity. Direct access to I-40, I-73, I-85, I-74, I-840 and US 29 keeps short-haul movements efficient between Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem and surrounding towns. Construction and demolition debris, commercial solid waste and recyclables create ongoing demand for containerized hauling instead of conventional dock freight. Burnt Poplar Transfer Station accepts municipal, commercial and other solid waste streams from a multi-county area; White Street Landfill handles construction debris and yard waste generated inside Guilford County. Both facilities run on defined receiving schedules, so route timing matters. Summer building activity raises container volume; wet weather can temporarily limit access to unpaved sites. The resulting freight pattern is repeated short runs between job sites and disposal points rather than long-haul lanes.
