Role-relevant focus (no cert catalog or costs in source data): valid Class B CDL and clean driving record; vacuum-truck and hose/equipment handling; hazmat awareness and spill response; route planning and customer-site professionalism; accurate waste/oil documentation.
Expect questions on CDL experience, safe loading/unloading of liquids, handling spills or equipment faults, customer interaction on routes, and comfort with industrial waste/recycling rules. Prepare concrete examples of pre-trip inspections and tight-site maneuvering.
Best fit if you want route-based Class B driving for an established oil-recycling and industrial-services operator, prefer field work over a desk, and can meet safety and documentation standards in waste handling.
