HAPPY FRIDAY | Front Load Garbage Truck Vlog

Some tight stops working to the end of the first load of my Friday !

[@CoolHandMacc]

What you mentioned about running the blade in tight spots is so true. 😆 I thought it was just me with that. You handled those stops, especially the first one well. Hopefully your part will come soon for the hopper camera. Seems as though this employee & driver shortage is really starting to affect so much of our everyday lives. Stay safe out there brother, and as always, thanks for sharing with us.Thumbs up all the way👍👍👍😎💪

[@hopperhustle]

You know how it is - head on a swivel ! You aren’t kidding about the driver shortage, it’s hurting us pretty bad right now as a small company. Especially growing at the rate we are. In the meantime I’ll just keep taking that OT ! Stay safe as well brother, always appreciate you 👊

[@codykennedy19]

Absolutely brilliant video man I just subscribe to your channel I love trucks and I love the sound of yours do you think you could try to do an ASMR video of you starting up your truck and taking off from the yard because I love how the Allison sounds it sounds amazing stay safe man you’re doing great with your videos

[@CoolHandMacc]

Nice catch with the train too, I turn into a little kid when I get around or see them lol.

[@trashratt]

Autocars are awesome to drive.....too bad the cab is wider than the body. Cheers from Vancouver BC Canada.

[@hopperhustle]

Agreed ! Love the ride, room, and visibility of the wide cab but it sucks on tight enclosures and tight spaces. Cheers dude ! Thanks for the comment.

[@CoolHandMacc]

And this is true 😆

[@kitathediva84]

This looks super frustrating. I see this job would teach me patience lol

[@hopperhustle]

You aren’t kidding ! I’ve been doing it for 4 years now and I feel like I’m just now really learning some serious patience. It’s always important to take your time and not get in a hurry. That’s how you eff up 😅 I know.

[@leachpackmaster1]

Any way you can get some hopper cam footage? Good video!

[@hopperhustle]

Hoping to have my hopper cam mount fixed soon so it can be seen on the monitor ! I unfortunately don’t have a GoPro, I just use my phone to record but may look into one in the future.

Forgot to comment on this vid but How bout it a csx train and front Loader

[@azglockmaniac]

The packer is your friend

[@recycleman975]

nice

[@patrickrichmond9896]

I know what rough riding is. I rode on a Hendrickson construction truck that was built in 1966 and those were really rough. But I love the camera monitor that you have in the cab. Not only do you have the rear monitor that is constantly on, and you have the hopper cam, but also a passenger side cam. Normally you see good out the passenger side of the vehicle is if the vehicle happens to be a school bus. For those who want to know the make of this truck, these are some of the latest but one of the fewest products on the market built by Autocar. I remember the times when on most cabovers, if you had a 2-piece windshield, both windshield wipers were independently operated. They had two valves to run them. Republic Services has a pretty big fleet of these Autocar trucks.

Damn what crap luck at 17 minutes in f**king trains! It wasnt very long at all like you said

[@Mike-kv1ob]

How about a dump site visit

[@hopperhustle]

We dump at an incinerator and they are strict even about phone usage inside. I can see about pulling off something on a Saturday, atleast at a transfer when I run one of those routes by one we dump at. Our company keeps the front loads out of the landfill 99% of the time.

[@PerthAussieGarbo0759]

hard job must be when ur driving a FL

[@johnplummer9]

That heil quick makes me miss my old truck

[@heavydutyrepair64]

What type of engine does your truck have?

[@hopperhustle]

The truck in the videos has an L9 Cummins

[@dron733]

What Residential trucks do you guys run?

[@hopperhustle]

We just run commercial right now. Front load as well as roll-off. Not sure if residential will happen in the future but if it does - I’ll be filming it 👍

[@bberry2448]

Great job!

[@RockbeThyName]

What State is this in?

[@hopperhustle]

Indiana

[@RockbeThyName]

@@hopperhustle Oh Ok...LOL your next door to my home state and city Chicago, IL... That's why I asked, but couldn't see or read state name from any license plates.. Your environment looks just like ILLINIOS!! My parents has this company called GROOT that handles the trash in their neighborhood in ILL.. I moved to Phoenix, Az and I see our trash man with his front load truck every other day.. That's what made me go on youtube and look at videos about this, strangely.. I came across yours and I like it..LOL Never really thought about what really goes on with your job other than of course getting the trash!! Great videos man!!

[@hopperhustle]

Thanks for checking it out !

[@trirail812productions8]

are you a city driver

[@hopperhustle]

Yessir !

[@BeardedBlaxican]

Hey is that a Autocar on a Heil body?

[@hopperhustle]

Yessir !

[@BeardedBlaxican]

I drive a Pete with that exact body except I'm guessing that's a diesel you're running while I'm stuck in this CNG 🤣

[@hopperhustle]

Nice ! Yes it is. I prefer diesel over CNG any day 😂

[@BeardedBlaxican]

@@hopperhustle hell yeah dude the down side is the electronic joystick it's a slight delay plus you have to manipulate the gas pedal to get the hydraulic moving at a decent speed

[@BeardedBlaxican]

I'm here in Georgia been working for Wastemanagement since 2007 started at 18 now 33 and driving frontload for 9 1/2 years now I love it dude

[@David-lq6oq]

how do you know where to go. or do you do the same route every day

[@hopperhustle]

Same route everyday. Sounds boring but I like knowing what I’m doing daily. I know the route in my head but we use a route app on a tablet to mark off stops as we go. You can use the app to map to the locations too if it’s a new stop or you’re new to the route.

[@David-lq6oq]

@@hopperhustle hey I think that's good. how did you maneuver on your first day

[@hopperhustle]

@@David-lq6oq just took it one can at a time and kept my head on a swivel. Best thing you can do when you first start is take your time and don’t get in a hurry 👍

[@David-lq6oq]

@@hopperhustle how many stops do you do in a day

[@hopperhustle]

100-150 lifts on average
