One thing a lot of people don't realize - when you factory build a brand new garbage truck, there's typically a lot of options for adding items that will assist with work flow. Many manufacturers have options for tool holders (and all kinds of other things). If a truck doesn't come with tool holders, crews will typically jam a broom behind a grab handle on the side of the hopper. IF your fender is long enough, you could go buy a rubber clamps / straps that you can bolt on to hold a broom. As for the gloves, you are probably going to be the cleanest operator out there. Many rear load crews just accept the dirt and bring it in the cab with them (most people don't own their own truck, they just run the wheels off someone else's). Many years ago, when I drove rear load, I drove that truck with my gloves on, because I was in and out of the truck at most stops - it just didn't make sense to take them on and off for over a thousand stops a day. Most drivers and helpers end up putting their gloves either up on the dash or on the floor, in the cab, under the seat right by the door. You would probably be much happier with an outside under-body tool box (if one will fit on the chassis frame rails). This would be a great place to store items you don't want in the cab. Also, I can't remember if you said you all ready had one, but you NEED a spill kit. If you don't, just go buy one. Eventually you'll break a hydraulic line, and it's going to make a mess on the ground, you'll be happy you have a spill kit when it happens. As for stuff falling off, it happens. Most brand new trucks have some kind of bugs during the first year, then you have a few years of decent performance, and eventually the truck gets old and really starts falling apart. Luckily for you, your duty cycle on your truck is really low, so that truck should last quite a while. Keep up the great work! Years ago, I thought I wanted to do exactly what you are doing, but now I'm on the manufacturing/sales side of the solid waste game. It's fun watching you go through the process - learning the whole way!

As someone starting a transportation company, commercial vehicles are a different beast when it comes to warranties. If it’s the engine or other part of the vehicle moving, that’s where I’ll care about warranty. The body? Forget it. I’ll fix whatever to get it back to working. You’ll get used to being your own in-house mechanic. You’ll just need to determine what you are comfortable and capable of doing in-house versus what you need to outsource.

I work for a large truck leasing company and when a customer has a problem with their brand new truck and they are too far away to come back and have us deal with it in our shop, we will send a vendor out to make the repair for us. Wouldn't hurt to contact the dealer and tell them you don't have time to waste a day or two driving back and forth and ask them to have someone more local to you come out and fix it. Either way, its your money, your truck and your decision.

Great video Brad, I can see that you are beginning to get more into the groove of operating this truck. My only efficiency tip, is to make sure that PTO switch is turned on before you grab the can at each stop. I noticed that towards the end of the video, you were already figuring out, to pull the trash into the bin, from the previous dump, while you grab the next can, to make room for the next dump, excellent. How about that juice ha? Makes you wanna pull that plug and keep it out lol. I also noticed that some people really overload their cans, they might need a 2nd can. With night photography, you really need a camera with a larger lens, like a Sony FX3 for example, but thats like a 3K+ camera, so likely a no go for trash video's.

So I work as a driver/labour on a much bigger rear loader compactor collecting large item hard waste. It doesn't surprise me that things are already falling off the truck. They all have different personalities and qwerks that you have to get used to. We just got 8 new trucks and they all broke within the first 2 hours of using them. They all leak hydraulic fluid out of the fittings and running the PTO is all different for each truck. You just have to keep using it and learn the qwerks of the truck and you'll be fine. Constant problems are just the way of life with these trucks.

Good to see its going well for you. When you tip a cart, keep the blade all the way up, which will allow for more trash to fit in the hopper. Also use the machine to your advantage! Shake the cart to get the trash out, as opposed to grabbing it yourself. Stuff falling off the truck is normal for the first little while, things are tightened to the minimum at the plants, and the owner usually has to tighten them.

Completely agree with you on the warranty, Brad. It would have been a bad business decision to walk away on the terrible soldering job.

I am very happy with my Isuzu. 3 years old and 30,000 miles+ on it. No break downs, no real issues. Isuzu trucks made in Michigan with GM V-8 and transmission.

When we rented an RV I asked the folks working (winter so it was slow) how often they turnover the vehicles - selling the old ones and buying new RVs. Yearly. They are so poorly built they dump them after a year and buy new ones. I'm curious if your competitors are also small operations... might be worth a support agreement with them if so. If your truck breaks down and goes in the shop, they pickup your routes and vice-versa. Just agree on some price for that? At least until you get big enough to need a second truck and crew. Once you have two trucks you can handle downtime by swapping crews and running the main truck.

Hey great video i would like to say is with rear loaders it is a good idea to make sure you Clean behind the blade just because rubbish can end up behind the blade

Would it be quicker if a can only had a bag or two in it just to throw it in the truck out of the can instead of using the truck to tilt the can? I’m not a garbage man or run a business just something I noticed. I really love the videos and look forward to new ones coming out.

I’m curious on how pricing works. Is it the monthly rate per can or per pick up?

I saw some Amazon boxes; tell your customs NOT to trash and recycle them. That will save space in the trash can.

hi Brad wondering what your thoughts are of the Pac Mac packer body? Are you satisfied with your purchase? Any issues with the Isuzu chassis?

Any issue with storing the trash truck at your home? I think I saw you do that. Isn’t the smell going to be a problem eventually?

He mentioned last week or so that he spend over an hour pressure-washing the truck after every job.

It gets cleaned after every route. Trash removed, pressure washed, sprayed down with odoban and a final rinse.

I could not help but laugh when you said sometimes the gloves hold an odor I don't know you might not be doing it right I don't remember anything I own when I was a gunslinger not smelling like at least one of the garbage cans

Just ‘cause you’re fine with the issues doesn’t mean it’s ok to be like that just because it’s it’s not supposed to be 100% perfect with it been hand made and not by a robot. Then if everyone else thinks that it’s like we can let the quality slip and nobody will complain. Yes it’s just a clamp but it’s there for a reason and it’s more important than you think, but you not picking up the phone and letting them know the issue, they dont know to improve the process and give a bit of training to employees to improve on quality. Even if it’s “I’m capable of fitting that myself, can you send me it” ‘cause then they know of an issue and can improve if they get told about things

Awesome video! Do you ever plan to do bulky pick up? Also, companies (like WM) have the same problem as you when they get a new truck. But they don't really care because they have mechanics that get parts from dealers. Idk if you will do it, but you want to buy your own parts and fix it.

A suggestion is to not open the packer blade while your dumping, you will have a little more space and it may knock around a couple of bags when you pack but they probably won't fall out. I have worked with these trucks (the mini ones the most) a lot so just feel free ask me pretty much any question
