Wednesday April 22, 2020 Motivation

As we enter further into uncertainty, what was normalcy is now gone. However, do not allow worldly distractions to take your mind off of your spiritual calling and path. Stay up, prayed up, safe and blessed mi gente.

[@Frankestein01nl]

Keep on keeping on, collegue! I got told off by my previous employer that i "was in the garage an awful lot" .... told 'm i like to keep my office in perfect working order, even though sometimes its a collegue's office... if something is broken, i go to the workshop, they fix it, i go back to work with a "perfect" truck.... never heard a word since... and yeah, the mechanics love ya for it.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Yes sir, back at you! We have to take the initiative to keep our offices up to par.

[@happydays454]

[@davidsean1762]

100%

[@bitterman112]

Nice Footage!!! Thanx for the inspiration & wow, that story you told us with that guy in the hopper was deep.......

[@CoolHandMacc]

Never a problem brother. Yep, it's a serious issue. I wish more could be done to help guys like him. I've seen entire families sleeping at bus stops.

[@happydays454]

U can pack while the bin is in the air just hit that override button

[@11xeleven]

Hey my Friend i am from Germany drive the same Truck :)

[@Hoverdork121]

I’m so glad you made another video. I just wanted to take my time to say your videos inspire me to make movies and really put the action to it. And Garbage Trucks is one of those things that help me put passion into making movies. Thank you for your time and stay safe out there.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Oh wow, that's awesome! It's my pleasure and thank you. Stay safe as well!

[@happydays454]

Lol I dumped 2 guys pack one 5 times the guy I packed I didn't have a hopper cam I got down to get gates and I heard tapping on the side of truck ,second guy it was like 15 degrees and I saw him swimming in the trash

[@hopperhustle]

Good to see you're still working man. I've been on furlough for about a month now. New guy at a new company with the smallest route, first to let go. I keep holding on cause I have that new Autocar ACX w/ Heil Half Pack waiting. Def appreciate the motivation, especially sharing the success of those that give you inspiration. We all really need that right now. You talking about the guy you dumped in your hopper made me think of my old supervisor's experience. Dude wearing a black hoodie and pink shorts, waving like his life depended on it from the top of the hopper. Saw him from the spot mirror. I agree the hopper cams should be mandatory after having one. BUT- thankfully, he wasn't hurt; all he cared about was his wallet that he claimed had $2k in it and offered my supervisor a piece if he helped him find it. They never did. Stay safe out there brother. Thanks for doing what you do, as always. I've got my new GoPro ready for when I go back to work. You've always given me great motivation for the love you have for the job. I feel the same.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Hey brother! Always a pleasure to hear from you. I'm praying that you will return to work soon. Can't wait to see your ACX 😁 Yessir, those cameras help out tremendously especially in this case. That's an interesting story about your old supervisor too. Yep, with all of the uncertainty and negative things going on right now, we all need a positive outlet. I hope you stay safe and blessed brother. I'll be on the lookout for your videos when you make it back.

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

you nice guy

[@pushhard2]

Where'd you get that power steering wheel knob? I need one for my steering wheel on my ASL truck.

[@tipdog36]

Been almost a year, damn I miss it. Keep doing your thing brother.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Wow, doesn't seem like that much time has passed. It's been crazy since you left.

[@alexandercoppage8018]

I do the same thing with our Auto C scrubber where before and after i used I'll clean her off any time that I used or whenever I get the time or the day to do so.

[@4erry411]

Welcome Back man!!

[@CoolHandMacc]

😎thank you kindly

[@thomasleonard2564]

Enjoyed watching the video man stay safe out there

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks brother, you stay safe as well.

[@brianwillie9848]

Hey man I was wondering if I could ask you some questions. I drive a side load right now and I'm considering throwing my name on the next front loader route to open. I've been watching your videos trying to get the idea of how a front load route is

[@CoolHandMacc]

Sure thing brother, ask away.

[@brianwillie9848]

Cool thanks for replying! I'd ask our front load guys but I never see em they're gone when I get in and gone when I get back. All I've heard is people complaining about it but your videos make it look worth it. Do you have to get out a bunch and wrestle with getting the truck in super small spots? Do you drive a decent amount and how many hours do you work? Right now I'm doing about 10 hours 700-800 stops and not much driving

[@CoolHandMacc]

@@brianwillie9848 well, it's not for everyone that's for sure. I work for a large municipality so all of our stops are pretty much driveway to driveway. Usually average about 120 or so stops on my heavier days, Monday, Wednesday & Friday, with about 130 -150 lifts. There are some tight spots and a few that I have to back out onto main roads. I would say if possible, ride along with an fel driver so you see firsthand what we go through. For me, it is definitely worth it, I've had a passion for these trucks since I was a little boy.😎

[@brianwillie9848]

Sweet thanks for responding! I think im gonna try for it next time a route opens up. Worst case scenario I'd know for sure. I love your videos that's actually how I got into driving a garbage truck was ride along videos then I saw yours for front load and thought it'd be a better fit for me. Hope you got another one coming out soon!

[@brianwillie9848]

Talked to my boss yesterday and I will be riding along to try it out soon! Thanks for the videos its given me a good idea of what front load is like

[@happydays454]

I do about 120 lifts a day

[@paulhughes5152]

How often do u recommend cleaning out behind the blade?

[@CoolHandMacc]

Daily is best.

[@pushhard2]

What's starting pay for a FEL driver for the County you work for? And other driving positions for the County you work for? I'm looking to move to Atlanta and apply. I have experience.

[@jeazy6615]

Wassup thundastorm . I just got my route done . Hopefully you doing good during this covid bs

[@CoolHandMacc]

Yep, so far brother. Hope the same for you too.

[@paulhughes5152]

What's the best way to learn to use the joystick ?

[@CoolHandMacc]

Look at this way, the joystick is an extension of your hand. The more pressure you apply to it, the faster it will move. Also, you have to learn the personality of each truck you may drive. They are like people, no two will operate exactly the same.

[@realtv01]

Wow you told me something new, i had to double take when you, said that you dumped a guy in the hopper...OMG...!

[@CoolHandMacc]

Yep, and sadly, I know it won't be the last time.

[@lakeithayoung7741]

I know you got to be gentle with them candy coming to party again 19 heavy

[@CoolHandMacc]

I'm a little lost Lakeitha, what were you asking?

[@princeadambinalwaleedalsau4576]

ThaThunderstorm I have to rewrite or copy and paste every story I have written on my own blog, now onto my NEW blog because sorry assed, repressive and oppressive social media is trying to get rid of my content! So.....this is why I need you to assist me in creating a video that features you pulling up to a daycare, as seen from the hopper view, then cut to the in-cab view for the time when you hit the packer button and tirn to watch the packer start before cutting to the hopper view of the packer starting. Man! I wish....we could diaper a Mannequin and put it into the daycare dumpster then film it as it gets packed.

[@alvarojuarez5379]

Stay safety strong

[@4erry411]

In which city are you shooting these videos? congratulations, great job!

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thank you kindly, my route covers Atlanta, Chamblee, Decatur, Tucker & Doraville

[@andrewterra4938]

Did you start off driving a tractor trailer before being a refuse collector? Was looking to get into the same industry as you but for ASL.

[@CoolHandMacc]

Hey, yep, I drove for Werner and US XpressMusic before finding a home in the refuse biz. ASL operation isn't much different from front end. I think you'll like it once you find the right company for you.

[@treythibodeaux3519]

This is my birthday

[@drewmurphy2796]

What’s hunters channel? And the Rolloff trailer Chanel you were talking about?

[@CoolHandMacc]

Hey, search for Hunter Williams or Trinity Disposal. The other channel is Martin Extraordinaire

[@drewmurphy2796]

ThaThunderStorm thanks for the response, sorta had a hard time hearing in the video, love your content btw! With your truck fully loaded, when you dump do you know how much was in the truck if that makes sense? Like 4-5 tons? I don’t have any idea myself but am curious.

[@Trav-the-trucker]

Still going sting here pal, probably collecting more waste than usual. 👍

[@CoolHandMacc]

Glad to hear it brother. Stay safe out there.

[@RicHomieJuan]

[@Ufcpound4pound]

[@CoolHandMacc]

Thanks brother. Yep, that video went viral amongst Sanitation workers here when it debuted.

[@Ufcpound4pound]

Is it true what he said?????!!??

[@jeazy6615]

Damn . I never dumped a guy in the hopper . I pray I never do that . That would be traumatizing

[@princeadambinalwaleedalsau4576]

ThaThunderStorm Hey......May I request ONE more video....starting from where the other one you made for me ends......make the second video as IF I were inside the hopper being taken to where you dump the diapers and trash.

[@princeadambinalwaleedalsau4576]

ThaThunderstorm Did....you enjoy the stories I have written for you and about you?
