How to operate a Front load garbage truck

[@LuvLight44]

As a woman I was very good at getting my route down and getting(stabbing) the cans but cleaning behind the blade I could not do on a daily basis it was very hard for me but I love driving frontload and yes I have dropped A can in the hopper I remember the time of day the street and everything that I did it and I dumped behind the blade twice So I stick to residential and I’m good🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome video

[@rollingwithdre]

😂😂😂 happy holidays

[@ianbackus9966]

The fact that you left your wipers on the entire video drove me nuts😂

[@josephrbarton]

Helpful, thank you, cool to see what its like to operate from inside the cab

[@playboiidray2116]

Crazy how I came across yo channel I immediately hit the sub we both dre n I’m trynna work with the garage trucks n what not Goodlooking out for this video

[@captinccat7766]

Just saw this video, and I have to say when you went to the joystick, the up and down was perfectly fine, however the tilt was my issue, I’m used to working with John Deere farm equipment, and to tilt away you push away from you, and to tilt up (toward you) you pull the joystick to the left (or towards you) But I love the video, it’s one I found at night!! I just wanted to say that while I’m decent at operating many types of machinery the joystick would have defiantly messed me up on the tilting toward and away. Great video!!!!

[@rollingwithdre]

You get the hang of it after a while, there’s different joystick patterns depending on the type of truck.

[@grmacdonald777]

Sometimes they have a switch on heavy equipment.. the rubbish trucks just depends on the patent you can either switch it from a John Deere control to a Cat control on an excavator on some of them I don't know anymore how they do it now but the worst thing was operating John Deere controls and then switching over to something that's Cat.. basically you just cross your arms

[@bonnietrout8872]

Whats the scariest thing that's ever happened on your route?

[@josephknueppel9164]

Neat thanks for the demonstration subscribed too your channel

[@jlbrewer0930]

Great videos! Keep them coming! Was curious if the route sheets are easy to understand?

[@rollingwithdre]

They are only easy if the previous route driver put everything in the right order...the best person to sequence a route is the driver!

How many comercial dumpsters you pick up before dump all in the landfill?

[@chev0225]

I start with WM next week. I know you are republic but do you have to adjust the arms when dumping or is it all pretty much do itself?

[@rollingwithdre]

Not the arms but we do adjust the forks as we are curling the can into the hopper. The goal is to keep the can leveled.

I believe so long as you could press the gas and brake but I would consult with a medical professional to be sure

[@rollingwithdre]

I can’t really answer this question it’s lots of different factors that come into play like your area, division, experience, yardage on the route there’s not a set rate everyone is different but front end “should” have you above $23 a hour!

How many cans do you dump per day, and how many cans pack you out?

[@MachineGod69]

60/90 stops a day, some stops may count as 1 stop but have 15 cans at one stop. Like apartment complex. So number of cans could be more than actual stops.

[@grmacdonald777]

@@MachineGod69 exactly you may have 60 stops but you'll have about 85 lifts or 90 lifts..

What happens when some trash gets packed down in the can and its jammed down in there is there anything the aggressively shake that damn can?

It’s all in the joy stick, you can raise the rpm’s on the truck while lifting the can and it’ll bang the can harder. How about you hit the subscribe button and I’ll make a video showing you.
