I love your ways with the dogs! What a cracking chap you are.. I’m a fan of rcv’s, usually take photos in the area if they’re outside the house but I don’t have get some bad looks from the miserable sods who do the rounds here, I imagine they think I’m taking photos to complain!

shocked to how i’ve grasped an interest to your channel; may it be the vibe or just the different kind of video i’ve watched, there’s something about it i love. listening to what you have to say, i’ve learned a lot about those who do this job and my respect for those who do it has grown immensely. keep the videos coming, it’s a different experience every video and i cant stop watching. 👍👍

Another great video buddy, keep up the fantastic work! don't change anything for anyone your video's are great the way they are. Sure you ain't got a fancy intro like some HGV driver's but the main video quality is still there and things will improve over time!
Haven’t drove on my class2 for few years got a bit of nerves 😂😂 but your videos helping calm that hopefully should be on dustcarts for local council soon
You'll be fine. It's this kind of work or 18t curtain side that most HGV 2 start on. Mind that swing, look after the loaders, and don't be afraid to abort if reversing looks too risky
Mate I've been subscribed sinse about 500 and I can't believe you have grown this much. Absolutely we'll done. You deserve a pat on the back, and 50k more and you'll be monetized. Well done
Well thank you for sticking around this long My videos were not as engaging early on so you've done well to persevere Glad to here subscribers enjoy my videos. It's what I do it for
Enjoyed this, as a new pass got my interview/ driving assessment on feb 28 for bins ( done London buses for 20 years hope it helps) , know am not going to me this fast at first.
Will you do more bin lorry work in the future? If so I absolutely love watching you every other bin driver I watch don’t actually say anything for do anything but you do it all and it’s great love the content
I have nothing but respect for the street cleaners of this parish as I once tried it.I had to try the loaders role first and the area I was in had 1ft x 2ft plastic boxes with paper,glass and tins in which you emptied into a pigeon hole in the side of the truck,I was on the shortest round which lasted 5hrs and by the end every muscle I had ached and I could barely walk so didn't go back as it was too much for me.The guys who empty my bins just have the wheelie type to deal with,I've never seen the driver get out yet.Keep you the good work as your doing an amazing job👍
Thank you Bev Good to hear from a fellow (if former) waste colleague. Indeed it is a very active role and many people would do well to be patient and appreciative of what we do.
@@wheelerd02 I'm also an ex bus driver,like yourself. What a big mistake that was doing that but that's another story. Also like you if I had my time again I wouldn't do truck driving or adr work but I don't know what else to do which would earn me the same money so a bit trapped really.
Love the videos man keep it up. I'm a class 1 driver working with walking floor trailers taking waste to landfills and incinerators and moving other recyclable materials.
Dude! You should do videos of what you do Your step in the final one in the journey of people's waste I applied for HGV 1 walking floor work, got to 2nd stage interview but got no further Keep it trucking my guy and have a good day ❤️

I work for a local Authority as a driver for the past 21 years. Its funny to see how different councils have different ways of collecting waste and recycling/. I also drive the same size Dennis with Terberg lifts.
Only recently found your channel and enjoy your vlogs 👍 I'm class two owner operator (passed test in UK) delivering hay to horse owners in Spain. Very different to town work, but lots of tight mountain roads! Keep up the great work 👏
yes yes mate, well done on 2k, next stop 5! 💯loved the dog content of course 🐕i agree with you on double sided main roads, actually in our area we put different sides of the road on different rounds so that crews aren't tempted to do both sides! regards reading, no fiction for me but lots of wildlife books/magazines + the economist every week. keep up the great work and safe driving out there 🧤🚚
Love these videos my dad was a bin man and I was having mechanic used to work on these things daily although we used phoenix body's instead of olympus still the same Dennis chassis though
Hi I'm a newly passed hgv class 2 driver and looking at doing my local bin round for my local council which I currently work for lol 😆 your videos have give me a excellent insight in to the job and I can't wait to start driving the bins myself many thanks for your videos and keep safe and well my friend
Take you time, don't take your vehicle into situations you cannot get out of and moat importantly: Keep you crew safe. Enjoy and have fun, maybe it'll be long term or perhaps it will be a springboard for other things.
What picks up those tiny little dark green bins? We don't have those down south. We just have 3 wheelie bins, Garden (Green), Recycling(Blue) and General Waste(Black).
Ex-laoder here. This is one job I've done that I actually miss. I worked for biffa, sita, cleanaway, virdent, virador and the local council down in Somerset. Absolutely loved the job, always a laugh.
@@wheelerd02 I was agency so had no choice. This was back in the late 90s early 00's. Doing this job is better than working in a warehouse or shop...... even on wet days 🤣
First of all congrats on 2000 subscribers, you deserve all of them and many more! Cool to see some rural action, actually yesterday I was hoping you would film in a more rural area once and one day later I see this uploaded :D Very different from the usual estate collection, lot‘s of driving between houses. Just to give you some feedback since you speculated this one would be not as good as your other ones due to the more limited action. At least in my opinion this one was just as good as the other ones with estates if not even better since there was a good mix of driving but also action and as a bonus you see the countryside. I wouldn‘t mind seeing more rural area videos in the future although of course it’s up to you what to upload, don‘t wanna pressure anything. Surprise you guys are allowed to double side mainroads, not that I have anything against it but knowing UK councils are obsessed with work-safety, I would‘ve expected it to be forbidden. This kind of job in rural areas would be so much easier if footplates on the back of the truck were allowed and not banned due to „safety regulations“. Nothing dangerous about them anyways as long as you‘re not stupid and try to look cool by hanging off them. Thanks for uploading this one and keep them videos coming :)
Thank you my guy I haven't been told *not* to do both sides of a road but I can imagine it may be frowned upon. I never insist on it and allow the loaders to decide if we do both sides or go up and come back
@@wheelerd02 Yep same thing here, a bit frowned upon by management but in some instances it‘s just far more convient and I’ve seen them do it a lot when needed, especially in more rural areas. Of course it doesn’t save much time double siding a huge mainroad with house to house but on rural rounds like this one it’s just very convenient since it takes time to collect both sides seperately and if both sides only have a douzen or so houses, you might as well double side and save a few minutes. Most important is the safety when double siding and this video shows you guys are very precautious which is good, can‘t rely on the car drivers itchingly waiting to drive past with max speed!
As you've mentioned before that you where on the buses for a while..I too am on them...yeah we all face the stupidity everyday of other road users..lol...used to get stressed but now after 15 years I just smile about it all.lol
In a future video, can you talk/show a bit more about engine braking with the truck? I know about and do it in cars but would like to see more info with it in relation to automatic trucks. Thanks.
you havwe given me a whole new apprectiation of what you guys do only watched a couple of your videos but i love them keep them going also quick question if our bin is full and nothing else will fit and i leave a black bag next to it on collection day will it get collected or not
@@wheelerd02 ok i will do and i always try to especially with whats been happening in the world, and i have heard you say in one of your videos that if needed we can ask for extra bins for free from our local council is that true?
I’ve always wanted to know this and never asked the bin man in my area Scotland. We pay council tax for bin collection in Scotland and we recycle it for them then they sell the stuff on we recycle for them. A know it still has to be processed but why do we still pay council tax for collection when they sell our recycle goods on to recycling company’s ?? Is it because it still has to be processed in order to sell on
@@wheelerd02 We collected householld containers at Málaga streets. At the moment I collect yellow containers (plastic, tetra brik, cans...etc) There are grey containers for the organic trash and blue containers for the papers and cardboard. Málaga has 500.000 people and we work in the night, the morning and afternoon/evening.
@@wheelerd02 It's automatic, we only drive and we put the truck in the correct side with the lateral cameras, we only go down in case of any problem. The rear load trucks are normaly equiped with a driver and two operators. Sorry but I have a little english level....
No worries and could you actually do a UA-cam video of you actually driving the bin lorry too empty your load and also for my friend if it's not too much too ask
Talk to the loaders who work on your street. Most councils (if not all) use agencies to supply their workers. High turnover & high endurance requirements soon sort the wheat from the chaff. Weekly pay will be likely, show you are reliable and you won't be short of work. Do well and you could get a job with the Council with it's various benefits. Private companies (from what I've read) can be ruthless and uncompromising in their work environment. It doesn't pay great, you won't be respected by residents or road users and weather has an enormous bearing on daily experience. But! Early finishes, unlikely weekend work, nominal responsibility and free exercise are a boon. Keep me up to date on what happens.
How long does a run take each day and how many times do you empty the truck on a run? If you start early are you able to go home early when the run is finished?
Routes are job and finish, put the effort in and you get go home Recycling starts at 0700, general waste 0630 Crews start to return 1400-1500, anything much afterwards means it was a busy/long day Recycling squeezes onto 1 lorry load, general waste needs emptying twice
Great video again never know you used to be scared of dogs that's amazing that you have overcome it I admire bin drivers and your companions around you it's probably one of the most dangerous jobs due to idiots who cant drive a car and are just not using the common sense to look and use there mirrors look forward to the next video safe vlogging Sir 👍📹🚚
How do you mean? As in a residential collection service in the evenings? Employees stacking bins at the roadside to speed collection the next day? Individual bins being dipped for their sacks to reduce overall bins on the back of the vehicle?
@@wheelerd02 I mean in overall waste as I see bin men with their lorries go out at night to collect waste maybe around 10 11 o'clock at night maybe a private waste company
Hello and thank you A couple people have said I should do HGV instruction or indeed, examination I have breezed through thr direct.gov site a couple times looking for opening but nothing doing. Yet I read of nationwide shortages
I know of them, yellow Volvos/Scanias near Maldon. Did a day's agency driving for AJ Ostridge driving a DWC Volvo. The air seat kept dropping as you drove and raised at random.
Hey mate just found your channel are you using go-pro for you recording …can’t believe I spend all day doing this job and sat at home watching someone else doing the exact same job lol…what council do you work for?.
@@wheelerd02 thought about doing the same but tbh probably same thing would happen…are all your wagons twin packs as I noticed on one of your vids ur using one for domestic.
Weight scales would normally cut out approx 25000kg GVW. However some vehicles would cut out earlier meaning you would get less on and the day would take longer. Some vehicles scales flat out didn't work at all risking an overload situation. Walking the length of vehicle banging a fist against the body would help determine the load position within the body. Much like tapping a watermelon or a bread roll. However; the very simple way was when the compactor blade would stop scrapeing to the top. That and when stop wouldn't compact anymore. No negotiation, no amount of blade movement from thr cab controller you were done, time to empty.
@@wheelerd02 just wondering can you give me average pay for bin runner. I work for council too its good money here in melbourne australia. I should show you some footage.
@@wheelerd02 it's a company vehicle that sign wouldn't be there for no reason you might not mind but I'm sure the gaffer would respect the work you do you should have respect to the policy's also
@@wheelerd02 I know bud can see it's not you as your the driver but I wouldn't allow them to do it until they have left the lorry as it's not just them that will get an earful from the gaffer it'll be you to bud for allowing them to spark up in there anyway your doing a good job keep it up nd I hope gaffer let's you continue to video sometime down the line be safe happy trucking

Hi mate, I work with a lateral load at Málaga, grettings from Spain. I work alone because we don't need another worker....🤔🤔
Hello friend, what kind of work is it you do? Household collection or trade waste bulk bins?
@@wheelerd02 We collected householld containers at Málaga streets. At the moment I collect yellow containers (plastic, tetra brik, cans...etc) There are grey containers for the organic trash and blue containers for the papers and cardboard. Málaga has 500.000 people and we work in the night, the morning and afternoon/evening.
@@miguelandresleon9989 and you did this as 1 man and a truck?
@@wheelerd02 It's automatic, we only drive and we put the truck in the correct side with the lateral cameras, we only go down in case of any problem. The rear load trucks are normaly equiped with a driver and two operators. Sorry but I have a little english level....
ua-cam.com/video/5dv_mfWxFlc/v-deo.html&pp=ygUUY2FyZ2EgbGF0ZXJhbCBtYWxhZ2E%3D It's a similar system to the Málaga Trucks.
Why did you give up on the buses ?? I have my class 2 but won't be getting my class 1 .

Hi p4h91 I like watching your videos on UA-cam i think your brilliant
Thank you very much
No worries and could you actually do a UA-cam video of you actually driving the bin lorry too empty your load and also for my friend if it's not too much too ask
Im just wondering I know you have given advice to drivers wanting to apply for bin work what would you advise people who want to be loaders
Talk to the loaders who work on your street. Most councils (if not all) use agencies to supply their workers. High turnover & high endurance requirements soon sort the wheat from the chaff. Weekly pay will be likely, show you are reliable and you won't be short of work.
Do well and you could get a job with the Council with it's various benefits. Private companies (from what I've read) can be ruthless and uncompromising in their work environment.
It doesn't pay great, you won't be respected by residents or road users and weather has an enormous bearing on daily experience. But! Early finishes, unlikely weekend work, nominal responsibility and free exercise are a boon.
Keep me up to date on what happens.
love your videos mate do you ever go out on trade waste or domestic bulk im a drivers mate for Biffa based at southampton depot
I sometimes do trade as overtime or if there is sickness
I also did flats for 6 months when I first came here
How long does a run take each day and how many times do you empty the truck on a run?
If you start early are you able to go home early when the run is finished?
Routes are job and finish, put the effort in and you get go home
Recycling starts at 0700, general waste 0630
Crews start to return 1400-1500, anything much afterwards means it was a busy/long day
Recycling squeezes onto 1 lorry load, general waste needs emptying twice
@@wheelerd02 interesting thank you.
Great video again never know you used to be scared of dogs that's amazing that you have overcome it I admire bin drivers and your companions around you it's probably one of the most dangerous jobs due to idiots who cant drive a car and are just not using the common sense to look and use there mirrors look forward to the next video safe vlogging Sir 👍📹🚚
Thank you, have a good safe day out there
One thing I see often bin men go out at night collecting rubbish have you done it or came across someone who has
How do you mean?
As in a residential collection service in the evenings?
Employees stacking bins at the roadside to speed collection the next day?
Individual bins being dipped for their sacks to reduce overall bins on the back of the vehicle?
@@wheelerd02 I mean in overall waste as I see bin men with their lorries go out at night to collect waste maybe around 10 11 o'clock at night maybe a private waste company
I'm just wondering have you done night shifts on the bins
@@bradley-ts4kl ah ok I get you
No I have not night time collection. Only residential waste
I think you would be pretty good as a HGV instructor put the alarm information you get vouchers for your videos in your very happy attitude :)
Hello and thank you

Nice video
Thank you
How do you know when the lorry’s full?
Weight scales would normally cut out approx 25000kg GVW. However some vehicles would cut out earlier meaning you would get less on and the day would take longer.
Some vehicles scales flat out didn't work at all risking an overload situation. Walking the length of vehicle banging a fist against the body would help determine the load position within the body. Much like tapping a watermelon or a bread roll.
However; the very simple way was when the compactor blade would stop scrapeing to the top. That and when stop wouldn't compact anymore. No negotiation, no amount of blade movement from thr cab controller you were done, time to empty.
How come you left the refuse?
The hours were decent enough as well my colleagues but the pay and opportunities were slim and not forthcoming.
What’s wrong with the camera in the cab ?
It's the refresh rate of the camera, doesn't flicker in person
nice vids thankyou for you time to get hower rubbis sorry about the spelling
Thank you for watching
Absolutely smashing video! Love the videos that you make! What happened to the 2021 Elite 6 (Omnidel) that you had? Loved that wagon
Thank you kindly

@@wheelerd02 it's a company vehicle that sign wouldn't be there for no reason you might not mind but I'm sure the gaffer would respect the work you do you should have respect to the policy's also
@@ashleymarquez1311 no need to remind me, I'm nor the one smoking
@@wheelerd02 I know bud can see it's not you as your the driver but I wouldn't allow them to do it until they have left the lorry as it's not just them that will get an earful from the gaffer it'll be you to bud for allowing them to spark up in there anyway your doing a good job keep it up nd I hope gaffer let's you continue to video sometime down the line be safe happy trucking
