What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Smash Truck Operator position at Smash My Trash?
Part-Time Smash Truck Operator
South Shore MA · Part-time · 2-3 weekdays per week, mornings
About Smash My Trash
Smash My Trash is changing how businesses handle waste. We drive a specialized truck to our customers' sites and use a 3,000 lb. rolling drum to compact the contents of their open-top dumpsters — cutting waste volume by up to 70%. That means fewer hauls, lower bills for our customers, fewer trucks on the road, and less landfill space used.
The Role
You'll run a local route in a 26,000 lb. Smash Truck, smashing waste at customer sites and getting home the same morning/day. Routes are local — you're back at the yard daily, no overnights.
This is a consistent part-time schedule: 2–3 weekdays a week, typically starting early morning. We're also looking for people who can occasionally pick up a longer day or cover a shift when someone's out. It's a strong fit if your primary job or situation leaves you with reliable weekday availability and you're looking to add steady income.
To be clear, this is a part-time role and will stay part-time. If you're looking for full-time hours, this isn't the right fit.
Most of our operators come from a driving background. No CDL required — we train you on the truck and on running the smashing equipment.
What You'll Do
- Safely drive a 26,000 lb. single-axle truck on a local daily route
- Operate the hydraulic smashing drum at each customer site
- Complete pre- and post-trip truck inspections using our checklist
- Log your work and route activity in our mobile app
- Keep the truck and equipment clean; handle basic preventative maintenance and flag mechanical issues
- Report any issues or incidents to dispatch right away
- Be the face of Smash My Trash at customer sites — professional, friendly, dependable
What We're Looking For
- Experience driving trucks or operating heavy machinery
- Valid driver's license with a clean record (CDL not required, but a plus)
- Reliability above all — customers count on us showing up
- Comfort with a physical job in all weather
- Comfortable using a smartphone app to track routes and log work
- Consistent weekday-morning availability, plus flexibility to cover a full day now and then
- Genuinely looking for part-time work, not full-time hours
Why People Like This Job
- Predictable morning schedule — done by early afternoon
- Local routes, home every day
