Peterbilt 320 Maxon Front Loader

While it's still pretty easy to find WhiteGMC and Volvo Maxon front loaders roaming around Socal, it is now a rare find to see one on a Peterbilt 320. I only know of a few of these that still exist. With the extra long body and tag axle, this truck looks extra special. I've been wanting to film one of these from EDCO for quite a while now, and was very pleased with it's overall sound an operation. Just to top it off, the driver Alfredo couldn't have been a cooler guy to find running it. A huge thanks to him for all of his help!

Man this takes me back too the 90s And the MG Disposal days when Fullerton Ca had its own disposal 🤞

What a nice beast! Always liked tag axles on garbage trucks. Reminds me of that one Consolidated Disposal Service front loader that was a 320 Maxon Legal One.

What a monster! All 300 feet of it glistening in the rain. Perfect for a cardboard route though. 6:00 was great, and then no revs on they way down but instead slides the bin off perfectly in a single motion. I have a feeling I'm going to be rewatching this one a lot. Really nice job.

Thanks George! One thing this truck could really use is an outside throttle switch.. The driver likes to use external controls on most of the cans so he doesn't have to get in and out of the truck as much, but man those arms move slow it idle. Most of the time he used the outside controls he didn't even open the door to give it gas. Didn't use any of those clips though because those cycles were pretty painfully slow moving.

297 is hella awesome

Wow...what an awesome truck! Very quick, sturdy arms on this truck. I remember we were talking about how Amrep's arms wobble like crazy, and the difference here is night and day haha 1:47 was insane! What was holding that lid to the Dumpster, a spider web?? That was crazy. Cool 6 wheeled Dumpster at 6:47, only seen a handful of those around here. Seeing this reminded me to ask you, is that old 310/Amrep still around? That's another one of the coolest FLs I've seen from down there. Awesome catch! Really glad you finally caught this old beast!

Thanks man! I saw a few of the six wheeled dumpsters that EDCO has while filming this. Definitely unique. The 310 Amrep is gone, infact the driver of this truck is the same guy who drove the 310, M292 until it was scrapped. He just took the next coolest truck in the fleet. Haha. Definitely bummed that I never got to see him running the 310 though.
