Greensboro Couple Left in Limbo Months After Garbage Truck Crashes into Home

Months after a garbage truck crashed into a Greensboro home the damage is still left with no signs of repair.

[@RecologySpencer]

Just more proof that Garbage Truck *drivers* are incredibly kind people, but at the same time, the higher up desk people aren't always the greatest.

[@LEU_WM_266]

Well said. I’m just sad this very rare truck had to go out in such a bad way.

So true

[@colinjohnston5734]

I’m a recycling truck driver and assumed he forgot to set the breaks as it’s super easy to get in to a routine where your already half out as your hand reaches for the break switch. But no this was a break failure.

I can't even get Republic Trash service to pay for a mailbox they took out.... Yikes...I feel their pain...

[@LEU_WM_266]

I hope the truck driver wasn’t fired. It’s not his fault. This truck was old, it’s pretty much no ones fault.

[@Unknown_Ooh]

Four to six months?? New construction homes go up faster than that 😂

[@kenweis7913]

That's because insurance doesn't wanna pay

[@SuperAgentman007]

Then why don’t you sue the garbage company it was their fault that they crashed into your house

[@hamtrak_p42dcamtrak67]

Was the truck ok

[@SimiValleyGarbageTrucks]

Lol

[@dabthuglifdabthuglif2700]

If the people weren’t dumb enough you can see that the truck ran into a brake fail

[@ken_caminiti]

Lol, this happened in Houston about a year ago. Driver said the brakes just went out. Never heard of a UPS truck doing this ...

[@xaviercbivens]

It’s a valve in the parking brake system that fails which causes the brakes to release .

[@doubleaa658]

@@xaviercbivens yup I had one like that lol I went o take a shit and then came back and truck rolled back luckily I was in parking lot and the chance of that happening is 1 in a million

[@RobertoNaranjoRjnaranjo]

They are not the same brake system. They S-cam can fail. Spring brake can fail on base the garbage weight. too many factor. That not a normal brake system. we are taking about Air Brake and Spring brake system. nothing like Hydraulic like normal car.

[@jjjlove2260]

This is so tragic. That family should be completely compensated for all of the damages. This wasn't their fault in any way and this could have been much more of a nightmare if anyone was harmed.

no one cares what u are it is a comment not therapy

[@jordangeorge2408]

The driver was going to be reported to the police

[@bigneiltoo]

It's not the driver's fault. Everyone reacted properly. The neighbor pointed one second after it moved but that thing was doing 20 mph in 3 seconds.

[@bigneiltoo]

The driver is lucky he has the video. Must have looked pretty bad at first.

[@shaunsmoke8537]

It is the drivers fault , he should have been doing his job , instead of running his dumb mouth.. what do ya mean it’s not his fault !??

[@bigneiltoo]

@@shaunsmoke8537 - The brake failed in real time - on film. It's called an accident. That's up to the insurance companies now.

[@minibinwaredisposaldude5641]

Shaun Smoke it’s not the drivers fault it’s the maker of the trucks fault for making the brakes bad

[@friendlyneighborhoodcow8776]

Shaun Smoke umm sometimes people complain dumbass

[@bestamerica]

' trucker drive did not use double brakes locks while he walked out... trucker is a big fault

[@FresnoRefuseTrucks]

Garbage Trucks don't have any double brakes.... And he isn't at fault for a mechanical error so please...

[@Landis_Grant]

@@FresnoRefuseTrucks Why was the driver out on the pavement?

[@FresnoRefuseTrucks]

@@Landis_Grant Oh maybe because the driver was talking to a customer?

[@Landis_Grant]

@@FresnoRefuseTrucks He could have stayed in his truck and motioned the customer to come near to him to talk. You know very well his boss blasted him afterwards and may have fired him.

[@Deleted_Channel1]

@@Landis_Grant I'm a driver for a yard in a place you don't need to know. I can assure you, that's not the safest thing to do. Don't get so beefed and gritty with the Refuse guy, using your own words, you know very well that we don't just wave people down to come talk to us we just don't do that especially if the truck is left hand drive. I'd suggest you become a garbage collected like me and burn your ass off like the poor drive did. And just an FYI, driver was not fired nor scolded by anyone. He still works for the company.

[@treeguyable]

I carry 2 million liability for my business. Man up and pay for the damage, completely, in a timely manner.

[@FrozenGamerMan]

Sometimes it isn't the company, but their insurance provider being slow. I know insurance companies can be hesitant as they don't want to pay.

R.I.P to the classic Mustang in the garage that was destroyed in the incident

[@thatdailydrama6570]

We call this a roll away failure to apply air brake when he exited

[@SlyXSkillet]

He left it in drive with the air brake on when it should've been in neutral

Is this an automatic? Why did it move so fast at idle?!

[@microwavegum]

How do breaks fail? 🤷‍♀️ wtf

[@jenalanmason]

Every thing fails just like you

[@FrozenGamerMan]

Leaks, linkage failures, so many things depending on what type of brake.

[@firebuffandrew2.057]

See told ya Mack trucks are poorly built trucks lol. They should have gotten a Peterbilt or freightliner

[@jamesp8391]

No matter what company built the truck, they pretty much all use the same brakes. Bendix, Wabco... but truthfully, all air brakes can be a pain in the rear end. Usually a leaky air line would cause something like this. I’m surprised the spring brakes didn’t do anything. Truck must’ve been too heavy or they failed

[@SlyXSkillet]

I'm guessing he left it in drive and had the parking brakes applied so there was tension on the brakes then they gave out or something failed he shoulda had it in neutral, the brakes still could have failed for whatever reason but wouldve rolled a lot slower
