A TIKTOK user has posted videos giving viewers an inside look at her career as a garbage truck driver for Waste Management.
And one of this sanitation worker’s clips contained numerous comments asking for advice on how to break into the trucking industry.
TikTok user @iadoree_asiia uploaded a video on November 30th covering a day in the life at her job.
The professional sanitation worker began her video by saying “easy day,” before highlighting her usual tasks.
This Waste Management employee’s first duty is to ensure that her truck’s hydraulic blade that helps carry trash inside her truck works.
After verifying the functionality of her truck’s blade, this influencer stops at a gas station to show how truckers have to cope with not having a bathroom within arm’s reach.
We then see this video’s truck driver walk around her vehicle to look for anything that may be off, like low tire pressure.
Once all preliminary duties have been fulfilled, we’re taken to a weighing station where this sanitation worker measures her truck’s mass with a printed-out ticket.
We’re also told that thoroughly cleaning a garbage truck at the end of the day is vital.
This trucker proves her point by showing how much trash and dirt in the back of her truck is from missing one day of cleaning.
