  • Want to know what I think of being a trashman? I lay a lot of it on the table in this video. There are plenty of people who watch the trash truck but have no idea about the job. This is a taste of what it's like.

      yeah very easy job now, but they get fired much faster now since the focus has to be much higher. Much respect for those 20. its not easy being on the back of the truck. I did that for 8 and Im happy Im on ASL now.

    Hi Mr. Kevin, Andres here, the kid that filmed you down in Laughlin a few times haha. How you been doing? Glad to see you spilling the beans on the life of being a garbage man. Enjoyed everything you have to say. Hope you will make more videos about this, especially stories regarding customers and management of the company. I love these types of stories and its fun hearing perspectives of employees of the industry. Hope you have a great new year!!

      I sure will. There is a lot to share. The next video I will talk about my first day on the job. It was a really weird experience to me but I figure if I share it people will understand a little more about what it takes to be a trash man.

    Nice video, I drive a concrete mixer currently but once I get a year experience I’m gunna try to get in with one of the garbage companies. All of the good ones require one year experience of driving to even be considered

    • @manquest24
      @manquest24  3 роки тому +1

      yeah, they like to have a year of driving experience. It's sux too because the year before I started, they were training people to do the job and for their license. Now you have to have the license and experience. it's not hard to convert from any other truck, it's just a little strange pulling up stop to stop. You will like it for sure.

    Thanks for sharing man. Gonna continue to check out your channel! I’ve always wanted to be a garbage man ever since I was 2 lol but everyone else is leading me in a different direction

      If you can, always live your dream first. If you don’t you will have regrets in your life. If you do it and realize you don’t like it you can move on. I have found that if you do what you love most of the time everything else will only help to complete your happiness. You can find peace doing anything but you don’t want to regret never doing something because it’s very hard to come back from that.

    Did it fir 27 plus years, loved it when it was OLD SCHOOL get the job done and they appreciated it, now it's camera's on your every move and blaming you for everthing from missed pick ups to pucking up out of sequence, and also charging your customers more if there container us over the top, but don't discount them when its not full.
