Smoother than butter in silk

[@TruckinDavo]

Ive always been interested in driving garbage trucks, looks fun once you've learned how to do it. I've applied a few times when our city our local companies are hiring. Haven't got it yet. Kinda surprised, figured me having 25 years of trucking experience I'd haa little upper hand. Apparently not lol

[@jamesnichols2188]

I'm from jersey move to PA long time ago I pick trash up here in a rear load wish they would put a limit on trash but they don't thanks for sharing be safe

[@McDangle2769]

Work for a municipality then because usually a city that has their own trash service charges extra or has guidelines/ rules for extra trash

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

Wow, that was way more fuel than I thought it'd be. Also those were some skillful maneuvers

[@derandreas]

Youre pretty! Interesting to watch. These wires are low Im amazed. .

[@bigal8752]

I just had an interview with republic services yesterday hope i get the job.i wanna learn how to drive these.

[@anthonyhurst5898]

Whither your a full time or part timer .. your in the “ trash an mafia” .. I drive a LaBrie autocar 520 expert.. a right handed sideloader .. your doing a great job.. the city chargers a $25 charge for extra bags the driver has to load the first time is free

[@Trashman702]

You don’t drive an AutoCar 520. Peterbilt builds the 520. Either you drive a Pete 520 or an AutoCar ACX. Which one is it ?

[@Ethanguerin45]

Give him a break lol

[@anthonyhurst5898]

It is a Peter built

[@illinoisgarbagetrucks]

Interesting video

[@josiah_with_a_b]

I have a question 🙋🏽‍♂️ What’s the big difference between using a side loader and using a front loader with the box? I mean, circumstance-wise. When would you use a side loader and vice-versa?

[@Argielawas]

Hello sr..im argie lawas watching here your videos here in Philippines..im one of your followers..my i ask if can i apply as a garbage driver there in your country..?

[@issachutchison3304]

What’s easier in your opinion. Resi driving curroto or commercial front load

[@gsrhatch212]

Does swing driving pay more at the company you work for than having a dedicated regular set of routes?

[@Dannydavis1956]

You rolled through that stop sign at 8 minutes

[@Dortchskii]

okay Lytx XD

[@DjScrill314]

I didn’t know the stop 🛑 sign police was watching

[@Argielawas]

Can you help me sr i want to apply a garbage driver.plz.thank you

[@commonsensefitness5986]

Do you have gps telling where to go or you memorize your routes

[@Dortchskii]

the short answer is Its a combination yes we have GPS, but its not nearly as effective as learning your route. Most Drivers are route drivers, so they have a set of routes they run, it is their job to learn, and optimize their route. Then there is Swing/switch drivers, their job is to be able to complete routes they aren't familiar with, often without help. The only lines of business where that is less of a challenge are rear load in which you usually have a loader that will know the route, and roll off where the majority of time is spent between the landfill, and the customer making it closer to local/regional truck driving, than how you would imagine a normal Garbage line of business. swing drivers sometimes run certain routes often enough that they learn it fully. for example I started in the Garbage business at the end of November last year, and became a swing driver shortly their after for whatever reasoning my management believed I had the right skill sets, and mentality to do that. I've never officially been a route driver. Up to this point I have learned 3 full routes Monday-Friday, but i wouldn't say that I've mastered them. Their are 4 routes (days) almost a full week worth of routes, that I have learned to the point at which I know exactly how I prefer to run them, and can perform as efficiently or more so than the route driver that normally runs them.

I once put over 400 pounds of broken floor tiles in my can they picked it up like it was nothing. That is the most interesting thing I can say about garbage trucks.

[@drissd2748]

if you done early you done for the day or you have to puting at least 8 hours!? Dies the pay change if you go fast ?!

[@OFFICIALEMG_]

My father said when he drove trash there shift ended around 3pm and if they got done at noon they got to finish up and go home and they would get paid for the rest of the time

[@davirangel7656]

Olá sou novo no canal

[@RobertSapecky]

Do you have a video of yourself training drivers who are looking to drive a garbage truck

[@Sara-L]

Fun facft - if for any reason you hit a wire while operating your truck on the road - It's not your fault. The utility company is liable for the damages.

[@slowlanedad1438]

Depending on the company u work for you still could get a ding for safety and still lose your job

[@brandonpryormusic]

That’s not true lol. Who told you that?

[@Dortchskii]

yes, and no. its extremely dependent on the circumstances their are even some circumstances the business/homeowner could be considered liable. for example if you're at a business, lift a dumpster and take out a wire, you're at fault, and its considered fully preventable. The opposite side happened at my work place recently, we had a truck backing onto a backdown road, and took out a wire. The city, and utility company came and declared that one of the property owners nearby was actually liable. from what i heard about it, they had a tree which they were asked to trim back repeatedly for long enough that it was considered the cause of the wire being too low. An instance in OTR trucking I saw where DOT took responsibility was a low hanging wire on a truck route where the truck had every right to be, and even a local delivery. so like many things it depends, but at the end of the day we want to be always alert, and actively try to prevent incidents from happening, because even if you're not at fault, or liable in any way. it still costs you time, and 99% of the time The truck is liable, to whatever extent can be considered reasonably preventable. slamming a curotto can, or a dumpster into a wire taking it down is considered reasonably preventable. "not legal advice"

@@slowlanedad1438that’s bs I use to drive for Werner in 2017 my first trucking job I hit a cable wire and ripped it down company put that on my record as a accident

[@railroadman57]

I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while now seeing how you drive and operate your equipment shows your extremely efficient , I appreciate your talent ! I am a retired railroad locomotive engineer who worked for 50 years , thanks for sharing your videos .

[@thisguy4063]

Driven garbage 9 years ago... started on a front loader. At least I don't see him whining about his job. They teach you when you get your class A to watch for overhead obstacles. This guys posh with his joystick. When you run a route for 9 years you always know your "tight areas" . A serious point. please make sure you bag all you your trash and tie it. PEOPLE WITH SAW DUST PLEASE BAGE IT. ..T GETS IN THE CAB AND ALL OVER A REAR LOAD DRIVER. I'm 100% this guy was born into a commercial business. He has n0o clue what it's ;ike to be a commercial garbage driver.
