While air builds up in air tanks for brake system, check tire air pressures in all tires, you’re employer will inform you of the necessary air pressure levels or maybe you have already learned what tire sizes need. As you walk around truck, inspect everything’s condition you can see. Belts, bolts, nuts, no cracks, no loose wires, no broken mirrors, d.o.t. tape in place, no fluid leaks, no non working lights,




check air pressure, lug nuts, hub cap, wheel, rim, wheel studs, tire tread



check tire for cracks, air leaks, check for wear & tear

Some equipment necessary to use once in a while.

Best case scenario to pick up or drop off a roll off box is straight truck backed up to roll off box straight.

Fortunately, you will get this more, but every once in a while you will have to back up to a roll off box crooked or deliver a box straight but the truck will be forced to pull out crooked.

With day to day tasks you will reach this talent.

Sometimes we have to deliver a roll off box and set the wheels on wood.

It is faster to use the auto-tarper tarp, but the tarp is only tight at the front and at the end. It is best to secure loose coverage of the tarp with tight bungi cords, to hold loose garbage in roll off box.



Tip: Place heavy objects on light weighing, thin, loose garbage that can easily fly out of roll off box.
