August 12, 2019 An In-Cab View for Marques

Greetings fellow refuse industry enthusiasts😎. My sincere apologies for taking so long to do a new in-cab video. Bare with me in regards to editing. I noticed there are parts that seem to lag and the audio is also off a bit. Thank you for watching and riding along all of these years. I'm faced with a dilema of late, that may take me away from front end. My right arm has issues with tendinitis which the doctor tells me is caused and aggravated by the truck's joystick. This affects my business as well, because I had planned on getting another front loader. So, of late, I have been giving a great deal of thought to runnning a dedicated commercial roll off route. Time and health will ultimately determine that course though. As always, thank you for watching and commenting, peace and blessings to you all.

[@IWS15]

Another great POV, although I must admit it’s not the same without that Mack engine fan screaming over you the whole time, haha. I still remember that series of in cab videos back from 2013. There’s something relaxing about sitting and watching you work, and listening to your stories as you narrate your day. Wishing you all the best in your health, and your struggles with county management.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks a ton, yeah, I do miss my Mack, but the 520 has been a decent truck so far.

[@jaretbaughman]

Sorry to hear about the arm... I get it. I drive school bus and roll off truck. I have it in my wrist and fingers from pulling the parking brake so many times a day. Its' crazy how something so small can eventually effect you in such a way. Rock on man.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks brother. Yep, it truly is. From what the doctor said, it's all of that repetitive motion that causes it over time. Take care as well and blessings to you.

[@stevan414]

nice to see you back again

[@anjuarunderwood6869]

Awesome video brother like always the kids love them too

[@briancooper8464]

It's great to see this living legend doing his thing hope you get well soon

[@CoolHandMacc]

Lol, no legend brother Brian, just a kid having fun😎😎

[@ZGeroux]

Glad to see you back! This is why rabbit ears are better than a joystick!

[@Trashman242]

rolloffs sure don't (well....shouldn't) break down as much. I say this as mine is in the shop. albeit less of what you love, I think it would be better for your wellbeing. maybe your second truck is a front loader and even though you'd hire someone to drive it, you'd get your FL fix whenever he/she takes a vacation, or how ever often you want to get in it. take care of yourself

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks Scott, yep, I have been seriously considering roll off still. Hope all is well on your end brother.

[@carld.2707]

You're videos are so inspiring as well as informational....learned a lot from you

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thank you kindly brother

[@bberry2448]

Good job as always! Hope you get better soon. I’m going through the same problem with my arm. I have the same pain and sometimes my arm falls asleep. Fun getting old! God bless brother 🙏🏽

[@CoolHandMacc]

Yep, lol big fun huh? Things are hurting now that never did when I was younger lol. I pray for healing for you brother.

[@charlesonuoha5504]

Watching you is like watching an artist performing his craft. Keep on keeping on. Love your video tha thunderstorm

[@CoolHandMacc]

Oh wow, thanks for that brother. Just happy to be able to share with all of you😎

[@Tiedye6336]

Great video I enjoy it I like it when you have things to talk about it is more entertaining that way

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks Tommy

[@orangecitrus_6705]

welcome back man hope that arm heals up for ya, that sucks

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks brother

[@pushhard2]

@@CoolHandMacc does the compression sleeves work for the tendonitis? The compression sleeves you have for wrist does that work as well? And where can you order them?

[@CoolHandMacc]

@@pushhard2 yep, they helped a lot. I actually found mine at Wal-Mart in the sports aisle. Look for the Tommy Copper brand.

[@pushhard2]

@@CoolHandMacc Great!! And where'd you get that steering wheel knob?

[@CoolHandMacc]

@@pushhard2 I got mine from a Pilot Truck Stop here in Atlanta.

[@LuvLight44]

I’m A new front loader I drop a can in the hopper about two weeks ago I’m glad that I started in the summer time so I can get the true meaning to cleaning behind the blade I’ve only dumped behind the blade twice For the most part I’m stabbing the Cans a lot better And I’m making sure the rear of my truck aligns with the KTM and thank you so much for posting these videos I was so nervous the first time I sit in the truck and felt the vibration and how the truck shook Startled me but now I’m used to it, I call my baby teensy

[@coolbreeze8650]

Not fun

[@CoolHandMacc]

Welcome to the jungle lol. Yeah, I was nervous my first time behind the wheel as well. Thankfully I had good patient trainers, all of which I took something from. That was the best part of learning these machines for me. Hope you enjoy your career, it's not glamorous, but it definitely keeps food on the table😎

[@Soprano1013]

I have the same truck and body can't seem to get the hopper camera to show on the screen

[@CoolHandMacc]

Have you tried toggling through your screen selections? It should be a simple reason why it's not showing. I actually had to call the McNeilus Tech line when I first got this truck to have them walk me through it. A couple of my cameras were showing reversed mirror images that shouldn't have.

[@jazjohnson3873]

Happy September

[@ArizonasDisposal]

You, sir, are amazing. Thank you for being awesome, stay safe when you're out there and God Bless. I also got tendonitis in my left thumb, making it turn 90 degrees the opposite way it should. Kind of like a hitch hiker thumb haha. Great video, can't wait to see more. Do you do residential with that truck at all? Maybe with a curroto can?

[@CoolHandMacc]

I'm honored, thanks so much. I pray that you'll heal up as well. No, strictly commercial stops for me.

[@dillondavis9615]

When is the hopper and dumpster cams coming back? And great video

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thank you brother, I'll do more as soon as I can.

[@garbagetrucksofpuertorico8448]

my friend I went back to dekalb? 😯😯😃

[@thecausalgamer7916]

Everything you’re saying about tight spots my dad tells me all the time i plan on taking in his footsteps these videos and everything he tells me I’ve been taking in for myself

[@luisgerena1227]

Wow I can’t believe that you get that rt up starting at 530.....here in north jersey we wouldn’t get anything done starting that late..... we start at 2am and sometimes 1am ps hope you get better!

[@CoolHandMacc]

It didn't last long, our General Foreman saw how bad things were starting late and told us to go back to what we were doing before. Sadly though, he retired right before giving us that directive. So things could change at any time now which would put us back in a bad predicament.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Oh, and thank you. Since this video, it's not completely healed, but much more tolerable than before most days.

[@CC_est94]

Hope that arm gets better

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thank you Carlton, it has brother.

[@TvidzCT]

I like having the hopper camera thats the best

@ThaThunderstorm, I was wondering do they have republic services in south Carolina? Also do you work for DeKalb or republic services. I drive front end doing a commercial yale university route and its sooooo busy smh . Many times I have put over 20tons on my truck cause of how heavy it gets

[@CoolHandMacc]

They should brother. I currently work for DeKalb.

[@EVILROCK1995]

Hell yea this is what I wanted

[@nykehoward5358]

So what time Normally do you get off work with the new hours??

[@CoolHandMacc]

I resigned from the county back in 2019. I'm an owner-operator now, usually start my route between 2:30 & 3am. Every day is different but I'm normally back on the yard by 10am

[@andrewstrange4891]

What company you work for cause your picking up all sorts of dumpsters that are different company's and colors

[@CoolHandMacc]

DeKalb County Sanitation. These multicolored cans are customer owned but serviced by the county.

[@andrewilliamson690]

Get a heil joystick , they require less arm movement, and the offset set up is more ergonomics

[@Trav-the-trucker]

We have Heil in our front loader and it is so easy to operate you can lift and tip with just your finger and thumb

[@andrewgriffie4098]

I cannot do a single joystick We have double joysticks

[@CoolHandMacc]

I miss those, better on your wrist than a single joystick.

[@patrickrichmond9896]

I love these in-cab ride along videos. St. Louis branch of Republic Services bans these type of videos. To me, I think it's just plain stupid. One of my sisters in law thinks that this is a good move. That way if you end up being involved in an accident and it's because of someone else's stupidity, you have the evidence right there. Many of these multi-city franchise trash haulers are good at ignoring their employees.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Tell me about it. SMH, I don't like all of the super corporate rules of the mega companies. It can be annoying. At WM, you can't even drink from a cup while driving. That's ridiculous.
