    As a woman I was very good at getting my route down and getting(stabbing) the cans but cleaning behind the blade I could not do on a daily basis it was very hard for me but I love driving frontload and yes I have dropped A can in the hopper I remember the time of day the street and everything that I did it and I dumped behind the blade twice So I stick to residential and I’m good🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome video

    Just saw this video, and I have to say when you went to the joystick, the up and down was perfectly fine, however the tilt was my issue, I’m used to working with John Deere farm equipment, and to tilt away you push away from you, and to tilt up (toward you) you pull the joystick to the left (or towards you)
    But I love the video, it’s one I found at night!! I just wanted to say that while I’m decent at operating many types of machinery the joystick would have defiantly messed me up on the tilting toward and away.
    Great video!!!!

      You get the hang of it after a while, there’s different joystick patterns depending on the type of truck.

      Sometimes they have a switch on heavy equipment.. the rubbish trucks just depends on the patent you can either switch it from a John Deere control to a Cat control on an excavator on some of them I don't know anymore how they do it now but the worst thing was operating John Deere controls and then switching over to something that's Cat.. basically you just cross your arms

      They are only easy if the previous route driver put everything in the right order...the best person to sequence a route is the driver!

      60/90 stops a day, some stops may count as 1 stop but have 15 cans at one stop. Like apartment complex. So number of cans could be more than actual stops.
