1995 Whitegmc / Maxon Eagle Front Loader ~ Burrtec Waste & Recycling

The Riverside yard has a number of awesome trucks still running, however their best trucks are their older front loaders. All of which are spares. There are 3 barn door Maxon Eagle square bodies, one of which is a low entry wxll, the other 2 like the one featured here. Of the 3, this one was my lowest priority as its not totally original. This truck as well as a few others had been refurbished back around 2010ish, and as part of that, they put newer arms on them. And of the refurbished ones, this is the last one remaining. The 4th spare front loader, truck 1602, which is actually my favorite truck in the yard, and arguably one of my favorite front loaders still running in general is a very early White/Whitegmc Amrep Octo with the sloped body and small tucked away lift cylinders, and it absolutely screams. I have one terrible clip of that truck from a cellphone taken years ago that can be seen here

Why am I telling you this? Well because in passing by the yard several months ago, I happened to see that 1602 is still around when it passed me, drove into the yard and parked for the day. In the following 2 months I tried 10 times to film 1602 and never once did it leave the yard. Frustrating as its an hour each way.. however of the spare trucks they have, this one was the one I was fortunate enough to see running on one of those occasions. Truck 2494. A very unique sounding truck driven by a very friendly driver on a help route late one afternoon. Quite an enjoyable truck to see at work in its own right. Good speed - operated well - has a nice low growl when driving, but a very dominate whine when operating. Not really much else I have to say about it though other than I'm glad I was able to get something good out of all those trips which had me waiting hours at a time outside the yard.. lol oh and the driver in this truck said he was in 1602 exactly 2 week prior.. the same day I saw it park in the yard. Just my luck!
Thanks as always to the driver for making this video possible and you all for watching my videos too.

After hearing the screeching banshee of this truck, I dont even wanna know what 1602 sounds like now with better quality audio haha. I liked seeing it dump that little 1 yard around 7:00 and 10:00. Can't wait to see all the other cool stuff you got from the Riverside yard. Keep it up with these videos!

Never thought in my life I would ever say that a garbage truck sounds like a squealing pig. lol

[@ricardomorales15]

[@GarbageSean]

Great vid Mike! I absolutely love this truck! Love that growl when driving! I wonder what it sounds like when shifting through the gears? Does anyone have any footage of this truck shifting through the gears? Let me know ASAP.

[@staintedcards]

as of last year they still had this truck seen it doing post office in railto and circle K off baseline they could have gotten rid of it by now maybe victorville got it

Just throwing this out there, I think it's possible this is a CWS. Alex and I found out that M319 (white gmc MSL) was a '95 CWS, so because CWS was in business in '95 Maxon might have gone out by then.

[@Trashman242]

nah Maxon was in business through 1999, possibly even through 2000. that fact alone doesn't rule out the possibility this truck is a CWS though
