Was picking up the cardboard in Soledad

Nice

@@ThePackMaster718what truck number?

@@RyderFilmsGarbageTrucksWar FL7

Long story! I'll disclose and make a whole video on that. Very long story

Believe it is a 22. It's pete 520 with a paccar engine on a new way mammoth 40 yard body

@@ThePackMaster718 Awesome Andrew, hopefully you'll be able to get more of this one!!

I hope this is your new permanent truck, it's one of my favorites and I want tons more long ride alongs!!

@@Adan94748 thank you!!!

Thank you! Big dawg!!!

Thanks! Will keep you entertained posting more soon!

Idk where it came from. Did come from Sac I think. It now has been scrapped sadly

@@ThePackMaster718 too bad :( what's left in the king city fleet thats old?

@@WMAC_Master sadly. Everything got scrapped. Only thing left are the two split body rapid rails

@@ThePackMaster718 NOOOOOOOOOO they were the coolest yard 😭 i think i saw the wittke at a scrap metal place here

@WMAC_Master Remaining FELs are mediocre and painfully slow Heils. Side loaders mostly mini Zrs and finally first time ever have a full size Amrep ASL brand new pete 520 like Atascadero

@@CoolHandMacc You already know! This truck sadly just got scrapped last week. No longer in service nor existent.

@@ThePackMaster718 oh wow!

@@CoolHandMacc Yeah. I miss her. Had a good mcneilus whine

@ThePackMaster718 glad that you were able to film it before they scrapped it.

@CoolHandMacc Yup. Out of all the waste industry. I can kindly say I learned to operate every truck out there. Front load is labelled to be the hardest and I agree but for me it's 2nd nature. Side loader is easy along rear loader. Roll is simple but I do place it to be the most pressure of all. A box overloaded, driver sorts it. A door is tweaked and not able to be closed back, driver has to problem solve or trouble shoot. A compactor has overloaded trash on ground and customer doesn't want it on ground but the back the taro already barely covers the load. I for that put roll off as the most simple on a good day but it certainly makes you aware of being tested on unknown situations.

I really like roll off, but, front loader is always my number one passion. I do prefer roll off over automated side loader. But, front loader is still winner for me by day and night.

If they desperate or you know someone you can definitely get in. If you don't know anyone then experience is only way. You can usually find a way to get in. Keep applying and after you have 6 months to 1 year experience, try it again.

@@ThePackMaster718 ok I see, thanks man.

I wish. It's all just from memory. I was trained 3 weeks and then I remembered every stop for each day

@@ThePackMaster718 yeah i work for Fedex they trained me and alot of knew guys like that, which they all quit but me. Lucky for my I update my scanner which shows a map🤣 cause my friend taught me. Getting my CDL soon, any advice?

@anthonyjimenez7447 My advice is take the job to your heart. When I got trained at different trash companies for experience. Every driver told me of all their trainees, I was the only one to take notes on my phone and journal. Then I'd print a map out once I knew then do it my own way. Takes notes of the street names and remember where the services are. The busy streets and the hotspots. Most importantly do what is easy for you. Commercial is just remembering how to get to the stops. Once you know where it is at and the customer name and the days it goes. It's easy. Residential is easy bcuz one day a week so you don't forget which area it goes. BUT it's alot of streets to cover so you need to study to not forget streets. My best advice is TAKE YOUR TIME. Regardless if trainer says you losing time. You have to drive YOUR way. Don't let anyone push you. If they want faster then they can drive

@anthonyjimenez7447 if you will be on a side loader. Be slow at first. Speed comes in time. Always remember to look what is behind the cans first before you play with the arm and grabbers. For example look if there's a mailbox behind or car to not knock it over or hit. And importantly when driving away....look at your convex mirror to make sure arm is stowed. For Front Loader and Roll off, watch overhead clearance and wires.

@@ThePackMaster718 Thanks bro I appreciate it! Any idea how long it takes to be eligible to do roll offs?

Never had driven a Mack so I can't tell you that one. I have driven a Pete, Condor, Volvo, Autocar. And the Condor was by far the best ride and turning radius along visibility. Peterbilts are great for aesthetics and luxury look inside. But they always have check engine lights and sensors. Autocars are cheap but are better working trucks. And as for the bodies the Mcneilus has been a better body than the Heil.

@@ThePackMaster718 i agree with all that lol our 520 stays with a check engine or a bad sensor especially on the def system

@301trucking yepppp. Also I don't like Heil's slow hydraulic system. They made it painfully slow. And can't bang cans hardly.

No it doesn't release on it's own. They don't have any of those locks. Maybe you're thinking a dummy lock. The lock was tightly locked against the lid. So you can't open it. Have to unlock and lock it

Tuesday route. By Willow, sandringham, and area by wentworth. Start of video is me starting near La Buena Esperanza apartments.

I make the split body easy lol

Of side load or front load. Yeah next time I'm on front load I can certainy do that. I have a magnetic mount so I can capture one

@@ThePackMaster718 I'd be interested in the rapid rail. I havent seen inside of one in a long time.

@@GarbageGus If I get to drive it again sometime or next time YES I can certainly do it

It's a 2009 autocat wx64

Cummins. Idk what model

@@ThePackMaster718 Awesome!! Will you be able to do my request for me? This truck is one of my favorites, especially with how amazing it sounds! Please let me know.

Thanks. I always post FEL so something different this time around. And I probably will now most likely be on side load more unless someone is off and I have to cover front load. Otherwise side loader will be where I am at the meantime

This route I am covering it. The regular driver is covering other routes lately. Our location we have weird front load routes called odds and evens. Basically bcuz some are are rural, example is this Monday I'll go get a stop one side of the road. Next week I'll go the opposite side and skip the side I got this week. Some stops are every other week. And some are once a month. And some every week. But short monday only 54 stops and around 65 lifts. Long mondays are 66 stopns and 75 lifts.

Mondays I go in at 5 AM. Fridays I go in at 4 AM. That one has an odds and evens too. Both weeks I go through San Miguel. But the long fridays I go to parkfield way out in the boonies. I average over 250 miles that friday. Just for 7 tons in one load.

@@ThePackMaster718 That's weird how they do it there. Our commercial fel routes have stops that go 6x a week. Routes vary by commodities, stops start from high 60s to 160 a day. Recycle gets the most daily stops here. Odd and even is done in residential recycle for some reason I dont know why they dont get weekly service they have the volume.

@GarbageGus Oh here I'm doing the 3rd fel route. This route is just a monday and friday route. There's two othet full time drivers that have 5x week routes. Our most experienced driver is Rene who has been on front load for 40 years

They retired one roll off and two front loaders. All the side loads still there. I no longer for that yard. I work in King city now. But the old team told me they got rid of a few. The white gmc able body I think it was. Truck 12 and the old pete 320 amrep as well.

Sorry bud. I barely saw your comment. I think maybe in the near future.

@@ThePackMaster718 sounds good buddy, keep me posted!!

Thanks for the comment. I'll be posting more footage of different trucks too. Stayed tuned and patient.

Started on back of a rear loader

@@ThePackMaster718 My brother is currently driving a rear load for a local company on some of the larger routes solo as soon as he gets someone trained he's going to front load he hopes its nicer than dealing with highway stops but he knows theres alot more to watch for with the heights

@dustinsudkamp3722 yes. So for rear load, height is 9 to 11 ft. With a front load you are 13'6" arms up. With can in air dumped. You are like 17 to almost 20 feet. So take that in perspective. LOOK UP! Always look up bcuz that's the hazards there. Stick head out the window everytime if not sure.

@@ThePackMaster718 Thanks he hopes being in our town and surrounding towns will be nicer than working along the highways in the area the company has 2 2019 Mack MR/Mcnelius and right now 1 runs 3 days a week they are building a route out the plan is for him to be the first full-time front load guy the current one is only part time he hopes the change from rear load to front load will be a good one its been his dream to operate one since he saw them as a kid and since the 2 arrived at the yard

@@ThePackMaster718 how does front load compare to rear load on rainy days or winter days is it nicer or about the same?

Heyy bud! This is a 2022 Pete 520. This isn't my truck as much as I'd like it. One of our front load drivers was on ASL so it was up for grabs while my truck was in the shop. It is an older body refurbed on the new chassis. The volvo, I'll see what I can do. The company doesn't me to use it unless necessary. Otherwise they'll have me use someone's truck rather than the spares since it's too slow. They don't want me to get behind in them. If a chance comes and Ik, I'll film it though.

@@ThePackMaster718 Sounds good my man Andrew, keep me updated on the Volvo situation! In the meantime though, I'll enjoy the newer trucks you're running for now!

I'm glad you commented! It was just a title. This isn't my truck. When I recorded this, the regular driver was on side load that day. His front loader(this truck) is just parked, not used during the day. My truck was in the shop so I took this one .

That’s cool! At least you had a spare to jump into..

@johnbarcellos684 Yes. I love this truck. Only problem with it is the arms lag when being raised and stopped. I love how the forks can overextend to roll the cans out. As for packing, pretty decent. Packer though moves slow despite being revved. But I give it a 7/10.

Yea my Heil forks do the same..I roll bins off…I notice your arm/fork control are opposite of mine..

@johnbarcellos684 yes it is. Mine are like the og heils. Forks on left and arms on right. I'm going to do a different vid one of these days. Different angle.

Yup sure is! Love Front Load. My childhood passion. Sharing my adventures

Same here..Out of all my jobs in my life Frontload is the most enjoyable! And the day flies by..

@johnbarcellos684 I remember you said you had started out or you been at it for a while? I've been at it for only 10 months. Almost a year. Been in trash for 2 yrs tho

@johnbarcellos684 what kind of truck you drive? I am learning a new technique from some vets tbh. In these vids I heel toe. Some drivers pull the brake. But I've been driving as of now with two feet. Takes time to get use to the left leg and not be sore lol. What you do?

@johnbarcellos684 Yeah. My left leg gets pain in my thigh area and groin doing it for long time. Keep doing it, if that doesn't work out meaning pain continues. Then try learning heel toe. Brake with your right foot and see if you can plant your middle and upward of your foot on brake and curve it inwards where your heel is hitting the throttle. I learned that way. If not, then brake with your right foot until you almost like 3/4 into your can then about there while still rolling forward shift to neutral. The truck should be rolling really really slow now brake the rest of the truck with your left foot and throttle with your right. So most of the braking should be done with your right foot. Just at the last minute where the truck is almost fully stopped change your feet. Experiment all different ways. Even I am still learning.

Certainly can do!! The mount I use of these vids are gopro's mount with the suction cup. For the driver pov, I have the gopro headstrap.

For the magnetic mount. I have the double magnetic mount by Pellking

I went somewhere haha 😂

Been a while. I am running this truck. However, the shop may keep it for sometime as the body is currently building rust and creating holes throughout the inside of the body where the packer rubs the floor board. So it needs work.

@@ThePackMaster718 if that’s the case, what will be your new truck? Hopefully one with either an L9, X12 or an ISM - the ISM is another favorite Cummins engine of mine!

@@GarbageSean You'll see soon 🙂

@@ThePackMaster718 oh boy, I’m getting excited!!! When will you be getting your new truck?

@GarbageSean Well. Not mine. But I am driving and alternating between trucks. They're newer. I do have an in cab vid of one. I'm editing currently rn. I should have it scheduled for next weekend.

Yes. I will be making more. You mean like this video? Or driver POV? Or would you like something different to change it up? This week I'm going to find a place to mount my magnet mount for hopper view.

Hello ​@@ThePackMaster718 - I would like videos with this view and a driver POV please. Do you have to really do a mount for a hopper view but could you please send me a name of a mount for the top of your garbage truck please. But if there’s any chance could you please do a view like this and please do a POV and a hopper view please. Thanks

Hahah. Put the high beams on. Or better yet lower the arms to the headlights and then lower the forks to see better.

@@ThePackMaster718 “ I’M THE NEW GUY …… I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOIN’ !!!!” Hahaha.

@RTMDPropertymaintenance Takes time. Sometimes I still question myself lol. I usually now if unsure will get out and see my options. Always think before acting.

@@ThePackMaster718 Republic 101. GOAL.

Are you overextending them down or not tilting the can down and leave it up? So for this, look at the spot mirror and use the body or cab shield as reference point. When forks look parallel that means it's straight and bring the arms down. If you have a hopper camera, look at the dumpster and wait for it to be almost square 90 degrees with the hopper.

You are correct!!!

I’m from Central California (Hanford)

@@johnbarcellos684 Nice! I have family in Hanford. I was born in San José. Raised in Monterey county

Cool videos! It’s cool to see someone else do what we do everyday..

@@johnbarcellos684 I take it you are a refuse driver yourself? I actually have around 4 more vids. I need to edit them.

Heyyy! Yeah. I do have two more vids which need editing. And I want to make more actually.
