Hook Truck Driver Sycle Australia

Sycle in Sunshine North, Melbourne, is after a sharp hook bin truck driver to lock in full-time with the waste crew. This onsite hustle pays 35 to 40 dollars an hour, tweaking up based on your road smarts and how quick you handle the heavy lifts. You’ll roll out early, hooking up bins crammed with construction scrap, dodging traffic snarls, and dumping loads at the yard without a scratch on the gear. Been slinging hook trucks in the building game? Spot on. If you’ve got that Victorian license and a forklift ticket to boot, you’re primed to jump in and keep the bins flipping smooth. No room for rookies here—expect to eyeball loads for spills, scribble logs like clockwork, and stay sharp on regs that keep the job clean. Shifts hit the pavement weekdays, wrapping before the sun dips too low, with that solid vibe of hauling junk that’s bound for a second life instead of the dump. Flash your HR creds and a no-fuss attitude, and this could turn into your daily grind with a green twist.

Responsibilities

• Crank the hook truck out the gate, sticking to Vic roads rules and Sycle’s playbook without a wobble.
• Snag bins from job sites, eyeing the weight to avoid tip-overs or busted edges on the lift.
• Swing loads into the yard clean, unhooking ’em steady so nothing tumbles or trashes the spot.
• Patrol your route like a hawk, dodging potholes, peds, and parked rigs that pop up in Melbourne’s mess.
• Tally up every trip in the logbook, from kays clocked to kilos hauled, no skips.
• Spot dodgy cargo early—like loose rebar or soggy sludge—and reroute or radio it in sharp.
• Wipe down the cab and check tires post-run, keeping the beast roadworthy for tomorrow’s bash.
• Team up with loaders at drop-offs, signaling clear for safe swaps without the drama.
• Hit weigh stations bang on, juggling scales and slips to match regs every time.
• Pitch in on yard tidy-ups when bins stack high, shifting stragglers with the forklift if needed.
• Scan for spills or strays mid-haul, pulling over quick to mop before it turns into a fine.
• Wrap shifts with a full rundown to the boss, flagging any rig gripes or site snags.
• Roll with overtime if a big demo floods the queue, keeping the flow from gumming up.
• Eye weather woes like wet slips or wind gusts, tweaking paths to stay on the dry side.
