I'm so glad that I was able to save a few for you brother. I wish I could have saved more. These bring back a lot of memories of our early morning phone calls while working.😎
That part about deleting the videos sounds terrible, glad you could recover this though. Love your description about your take on the job as well - that’s how I’ve always thought of it. I’m still in highschool but idealize this as a career - have been since I was four lol. Also interesting to hear that AGG gave Recology entrance to Oregon, seems like they service a sizable portion of the state now. Heard they’re having their first Oregon state truck Rodeo next year!
I very much remember the second clip, Dejuan really is the man for saving this. Heiberg had/has a twin to 205 I would use on Saturdays, the sounds and the view of the sliding fork setup General put on them took me right back, granted 10 years after this video. I laughed at the Mack grille, she really must have been abused. Seems slow for an STS too, worn out pump? What kind of schedule/hrs did you guys work at AGG? Lots of overtime?
I loved 205. It was a great truck. 206 was a pig. She was abused and put away wet. It would have been amazing to get these STS trucks when they were brand new and in their prime just to see how they could truly perform but alas, that was not the case. We did several schedules while I was there. Some guys did 4/10's...I enjoyed working so I usually ended up with just shy of 50 hrs a week. Front load started at 2am and most of us were done by noon- 1 o'clock depending on how the other routes were going and if we needed to help. On downtown, I was usually done by noon.

This really takes me back to being 6 years old in 2008 watching garbage trucks videos on youtube glad you were able to re upload this footage!
Man, Autocar+Mammoth, she’s a keeper. It’d be a shame if this trucks not on the road anymore!

Is AGG still around?
No, they sold to Recology in 2010 and gave them their first foothold in Oregon
