Waste Management Peterbilt 320 Amrep HX-450 ASL 104406 Pt. 1

I've been hearing about my yard getting a brand new fleet of these "Think Green, Think Clean" trucks recently - both Henry and Heros told me that there were new trucks in the yard. A couple weeks ago, I did manage to drive by the yard and see that there were about 10 brand new trucks sitting there. I was excited to see them in action, and at the same time, very disappointed that there were new trucks in the yard. These will be the last batch of new trucks for a while - they were brought in to replace the last Diesels my yard has - which are the Volvo Curottos.
Today (12/26/13), I was biking around Arcadia giving Christmas presents to all the WM drivers I knew, and I noticed there were tons of lids flipped in the area. Since I knew Filiberto was working recycles, I knew his truck, the old 263016, was replaced with a brand new Amrep. I was really hoping to get some last footage of his Curotto Can, since he was really fast in that truck. I knew it was going to get replaced soon because the Curotto was having arm troubles for the past couple weeks. I really wanted WM to wait until 2014 to start putting these trucks into service, but unfortunately, they didn't.
I must say, these trucks are really good looking, aside from the mirrors. They stick out way too much and look very obnoxious. Both drivers I talked to that got these new trucks said they hated the new mirrors, and that the old ones worked better. As a matter of fact, they have a hard time seeing the street side mirror because of the way it is positioned. So hopefully they could be replaced with "Moto Mirrors" one day.
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this first look at WM's brand new batch of CNG trucks. And I know many of you will enjoy the lid flipping! He was lid flipping because after all, this was his second or third day in the new Amrep, and a switch from FL to Amrep is pretty different. Overall, Filiberto really misses his Curotto Can - and he definitely has reason to. He has to work the routes of Abel and Rios, and possibly one other driver, so he didn't finish until around 5, and that was with his Curotto. Now with the Amrep + post-Holiday recyclables, he was still out around 6:45 today. Hopefully, he'll get used to the Amrep or get his Curotto back soon.
Enjoy the video! I will definitely get more if I get the chance.
BIG thank you to Filiberto for letting me film! Easily one of the coolest drivers out there, as you can see.
All fallen trash was picked up.
Thanks for watching!

Awesome catch. These new Pete. Cngs are growing on me. Sounds like a beast.

[@WMmaster626]

Thanks bro! Yeah I love em haha this one sounded exceptionally good because it was brand new. More footage of this one coming out tomorrow!

[@ChadHoops]

Neat truck! Especially because it's Peterbilt and it flips lids. They just rolled out two new Peterbilts in WM of OC to replace the diesel pete ellipticals in la Habra.

[@WMmaster626]

I agree! Yeah that was my favorite part. But it sucks that these trucks are replacing WM's last Diesel trucks, like the Diesel ellipticals. I really wanted to film those two. Hopefully they'll keep em around as spares. Thanks for the comment!

[@WasteManagementOC]

Its kinda the same thing here but more south in OC...

[@Trashman590]

Nicw catch ...Carlsbad also has Pete/Amrep ASLs in the 400s starting at 104460

[@WMmaster626]

Thanks bro! What trucks did they replace?

[@GarbageSean]

Great vid! Even though this truck is CNG, it sure lets off a nice roar! Love this beast! Please get more footage of this truck!

[@WMmaster626]

Thank you! Yeah I agree. I definitely will try!

[@TheNVTrashMan]

Great footage! Driver seemed really chill. I love those type of drivers. I wish he could have revved a little though. I love seeing the driver flip some lids. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Great work overall!

[@WMmaster626]

Thank you! Yeah this driver is really nice - I've only met him twice and he's already one of my top three favorites! And he might rev in the future, after all this was his third day in the truck! The lid flipping was my favorite part, it was really fun to watch! Same to you, I hope you had a great Christmas as well and thanks again!!

[@ChadHoops]

Yes hopefully they to keep the diesel ellipticals as spares:)

[@TheTrashman97]

That is it!!! I am taking time off of work and driving to Arcadia. That right there was the coolest WM of Arcadia video I've ever seen!!! Not to say that all the others were awesome it's just this one was like AMAZING!!! So what happened? Did they figure that if they were going to continue to buy Amreps soon enough they couldn't resist flipping lids? Or is this guy just a rebel and says screw it to the "No Lid Flipping law" But anyways wow. That video was just amazing the combination of a pretty violent clean good looking amrep and 64 gal old evr1 gen toters is just awesome. Keep saying that word because it's true. Excellent work with the angles. Hopefully more will come in the future, I would love to see more lid flipping WM amreps from you. Great video and awesome find.

[@WMmaster626]

LOL! thanks bro! I'm glad you like it! Well this guy just got off working a Curotto, so he was new to working an ASL, and all the new ASL drivers are allowed to flip lids I guess! Hopefully he'll keep lid flipping, and with more ASLs showing up, there will be more lid flipping Amreps coming too :D Thanks again man, I'm really happy you like it!!

[@RefuseArizona]

[@Marvo817]

That is a major switch from Curotto to an ASL, but the truck looks nice. I thought WM switched back to the white signs on their trucks. Great job!

[@WMmaster626]

Yeah it is, and both Curotto drivers I talked to said that they really want WM to keep them in a Curotto Can, especially Mike. I agree, the truck looks really nice, except for the mirrors lol They did that to a couple trucks in a different city, but all the new trucks have "Think Green, Think Clean". Thanks!!

[@Young4Family]

Merry Christmas WM drivers! I'm glad that they stuck with peterbuilt for this batch! Have the autocars down there been having high pitch "screeching" sounds? They do up here and it gets annoying fast. I also agree that those mirrors should be replaced soon.

[@WMmaster626]

Yeah definitely better than new Autocars! And YES a whole bunch of them have that noise! The mechanics fix it pretty fast on the Peterbilts when it happens, but I don;t know why the Autocars haven't gotten fixed yet. I really hope they do change the mirrors, the drivers hate them too. Thank you for the comment!

[@WasteManagementOC]

***** Young4Family Personally, I like the "tone" of the sound but it makes me kinda happy because it sounds so nice...

[@kimantar942]

I like how the truck sounds

[@WMmaster626]

Yeah, me too. Only bad part about these trucks are the mirrors.

[@dont1117]

Dude i hope that my route doesn't become all amrep I still have two Mack's btw do you know who the driver of 263205 is?

[@WMmaster626]

Yeah I still got a Mack on my route too - but this was definitely more fun than the Autocars. Dunno know 263205's driver is anymore, last time I saw it, Mota was behind the wheel and that was back in 2010.

[@WasteManagementOC]

Oh wow that's the kind of the same truck i caught yesterday...(different truck #)

[@WMmaster626]

Oh nice! How do you like it?

[@WasteManagementOC]

***** Freakin nice it will be up today

[@WMmaster626]

Waste Management of OC awesome, I'll keep an eye out for the video!

[@WasteManagementOC]

***** hey remember the guy that revs in the CNG truck hes long gone he is now working for a different company :(

[@WMmaster626]
