2490-WX64 Autocar McNeilus Autoreach on Recycling

Here's a first time appearance on Fremont Garbage Trucks, 2490! There are 4 of these trucks, (WX64's), in the Fremont fleet. 2427, 2428, 2490, and 2491. I want to film 2491 one more time and do it correctly. 2007 WX64's are some of the oldest trucks in the fleet. The oldest I think is 2065 which is a BFI Volvo rear loader and I'm pretty sure it was just recently decommissioned. If you saw my Instagram post, 2065 was parked on the side of the long driveway entrance to where the garbage trucks are. It's possible that it could've been there because it was gonna have maintenance done on it but given its age, I doubt it. The second oldest would be the 2006 WX64 stakebed truck for delivering trash cans which is now CNG. And these would be the oldest after that. Anyway, the driver of this truck, (I didn't catch his name), was really cool. He was new but he operated really well, if you told me he'd been driving for a while, I'd believe you! He also complimented my bike which was the first time that's happened! So thank you for watching this video and thanks to the driver for letting me record, enjoy!

small correction actually, 2490/2491 are the 2008 WX64s, while 2427/2428 are the 2007 ones. the 2007 ones were original to the fremont yard while the other two were transferred in from the old los baños yard

[@fremontgarbagetrucks]

Thank you! It's pretty neat learning about all the locations the trucks have been in.

Gotta love old school Autoreach's. 2065 that's insane that they (might) still have it around. Checked the Fremont yard and it seems to be still there, but parked further inside where the rest of the RL's are parked. The Yard even has a small RL painted white and on a Peterbilt 220 Chassis similar to the 2 Tymco 600 Street Sweepers the city runs.

I've seen that truck a couple times. They also just got the same one but in blue. The smaller RL's are gonna be used for hard to service areas like up in Mill Creek Road. The blue one's number is 2524!

[@fremontgarbagetrucks]

Sorry! 2524 is not a rear loader, it's a short side loader that looks like it could have tippers instead of an arm

[@dabking94.19]

@@fremontgarbagetrucks Intersting. Bet that truck dumps carts into the hopper all the time lol. I've never seen that truck. Would be cool to see it on a residential route.

@dabking94.19 It might be a little while because it's not registered yet, but when it is, that'd be awesome!

RS of fremont sure has some neat trucks. what's their length on how long a truck stays commissioned? Cause that ex BFI RL is quite old.

[@fremontgarbagetrucks]

You're right, that thing's been around for a while! I think they keep them commissioned for as long as they can before it becomes too expensive. They decommissioned 2467 not too long ago because the arm broke and the crusher broke which was gonna cost $15,000 to fix so they pretty much said, "let's just replace it."
