My dad was Executive Vice president. He died a few years ago and seeing this reminds me of him.

[@garbagetrucksoftucson7553]

Wow that's super cool!

[@soulassassin0g]

I don't understand; he does what? You forgot to mention what he does.

Wish he was still there. Maybe he could get the local shop manager in Warrensburg MO to do his job. 😊

what?

[@michaelweymouth4015]

@@garbagetrucksoftucson7553 in the Transformer movie, the antagonists are called Decepticons. There is transfer station truck called “Junkion”. The vehicles transform into robots. So the hydraulic arm of your truck isn’t too far a stretch of the imagination. 🤷‍♂️

Job killing truck

[@garbagetrucksoftucson7553]

No its safer for the drivers

[@Al_capachino]

@@garbagetrucksoftucson7553 Having a laborer or 2 on the back the driver don’t get out anyway. In my opinion It’s more accident prone just due to the arm needing to be placed right especially with barrels not being spaced correctly, more moving parts means more things to repair and if the arm is screwed up they launch the barrel. I’ll take my rear loader any day over that.

[@Al_capachino]

But then again you are in Arizona, I’m in a big city where people do not care and place totes in the most awkward places lol

[@garbagetrucksoftucson7553]

@@Al_capachino Yeah for example if you live in new york or Chicago then its more efficient to have the 2 men on the back. But here there is only 1 can at each stop so the automated trucks are safer
