Waste Connections: Peterbilt 520 McNeilus ZR Garbage Truck

This is one of two transfers from the Fort Worth yard because they ordered them accidentally. Aside from these, my yard has been buying a lot more diesel side loaders, and they are right hand driven which is also great! Hope you enjoy this vid of one knocking out recycle!
Big thanks to Mr. Roberto for letting me film him at work!

Nice Video, I guess your the 1st one to post the ZR, That was my plan until they changed routes which really sucks, But this truck is probably my 2nd favorite and Mr.Roberto was super friendly, and I would always give him a water bottle on Monday routes and he would always wave to me.

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thank you! Who knows, he might comeback one day!

Great video! Truck looks sharp and was fast! I’ve really come to enjoy zrs! Love WC colors too! The rain made the video even better!

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thanks! Sure was, and also reminded me of the ones El Dorado has.

[@andrewthetrashkid1435]

Great video Jay! I’ve been wanting to see a video of one of these ZRs from your yard. I must say, these look really sharp. Pretty funny that these were ordered accidentally but they seem to be working out pretty good. Loved the lid flips and it’s really cool to see all the old Progressive carts. Nice neighborhood too. Great work as always sir!

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thank you Andrew kid 👦 They are pretty sharp and yes lots of progressive carts lol.

[@Trucksusa]

Cool Peterbilt..👍

[@IWS15]

Great work Jay! This truck is super sharp looking, something ZRs don’t usually pull off, lol. It’s cool to see all the newer WC Sierras on this route, seems like WC is buying them across the country. I’m not sure how you accidentally order a truck, but it looks like it’s turning out great for someone at least, it was really smooth and quick on this nice open route. The rain and wet surroundings added a really cool look to this video as well, another great one!

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thanks Bailey! Yeah it was interesting for me seeing a something other than a usual Labrie or Curotto Can. I like all of the new sierra carts too, wouldn’t mind seeing more companies buy them.

[@wcmaster773]

Awesome video! It’s really cool to see this truck on route. These trucks have only been on route for about 4 months now and the arm looks pretty worn out. Also really great camera angles.

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thanks man! Yeah they looked better when brand new

[@garbagetrucksofsanmarcosca]

Awesome I love this truck bro. I really enjoyed this video too dude. I really enjoyed all of the lid flips that this driver did.

Nice!!!

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thank you sir!

[@MidwestTrashTrucks]

Great video, love the new camera! Just curious, do you I know what truck ran this route before this truck? Love the cart variety in this area as well, and the lid flips were very entertaining. Nice video once again!

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thanks Grant! Didn’t use the new camera yet! I think the driver used a Labrie expert.

[@AZTrashTrucks]

Sick video We have rad down here and they were bought by Wc a while ago and not they are painting their trucks and ditching all the heil's! so if you want to see the last of rad come quick I have filming locations!

[@RefuseDFW02]

Thanks! That sounds fun, and sucks that RAD’s classic trucks are disappearing, already have a few big trips soon so can’t.

[@AZTrashTrucks]

@@RefuseDFW02 Ah man that makes sense have fun!

[@SCSITerminator]

Do they still have that hybrid Boivin Evolution up at that yard? Any chance for a vid?

[@andyzappe5521]

It's still in Mckinney... Been broken down a couple times already but on thr road today!

[@wcrecyclingmaster5093]

Andy Zappe Did the garbage man change there routes recently?

[@andyzappe5521]

Monday and Tuesday were rerouted so far... Plans to do Wed and Thurs fairly soon. No changes in days for customers

[@wcrecyclingmaster5093]

Andy Zappe That’s what I thought. Thank you

[@Tracklife4]

How do you know when the arm is center to grab each can do you have to look or it’s a camera screen inside that match colors or sumtin when u ok to pick it just just asking cause I got a interview for this job I’m new to this but I been OTR for tractor trailer and I’m tryna be home every night and any other advice would help l thanks brother

[@RefuseDFW02]

Yeah, newer trucks like these do have alignment tools on the camera, but with lots of practice you could really do without a camera!

[@Tracklife4]

@@RefuseDFW02 gotcha thank

[@staintedcards]

their not bad trucks except for the packer running after every can and stuff sticking to the packer makes cleaning behind the packer a pain in the ass
