Job Description
Part-Time Smash Truck Operator Central Islip, NY
• 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 Paid training on the equipment, no CDL needed Work independently once you're up to speed Steady, predictable part-time income alongside your primary role
