Garbage Truck In The Loghtning - Mack LR McNeilus Meridian w/ Curotto Can

To start off with, this was probably not the wisest thing to do, especially for a newer truck. However, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't do it again.
These past couple weeks I've been on a road trip and the Chicago area was my list of places to stop at. When I came in 2022 there was still some trucks I hadn't filmed. Since I didn't get a lot of Groot the first time, I wanted to try to find one of their LE and LEU Curottos. Well the first truck I found was this LR...in the middle of a thunderstorm. I figured why not get a short video. I tried to edit it to where the storm intensifies and in my opinion the best lightning shot is at about 5:10. While normally I hold on to footage for a while, this is one I particually wanted to post right away. There is plenty more from this trip to come in the future. Sorry about the water droplets on the lens but that was kinda inevitable at some points. Huge thank you for the driver for letting me grab some footage and a huge shoutout for these guys working in these crazy storms. Hope you al enjoy!

You are indeed a die hard for filming this. Enjoyed the rainy atmosphere with the occasional lightning strikes

[@MendocinoRefuseTrucks]

Haha thanks Spencer!

[@RecologyChaser]

jeez man.

[@WMAC_Master]

considering the number of trees, i'd say it was quite risky to film lol Still, the video turned out pretty well

[@MendocinoRefuseTrucks]

Definitely lol. In the last shot just out of frame to the left there was a bolt in the clouds. It was at that moment where I figured it was time to take 5 haha
