She ain't full until she's full... IMO the truck's still empty unless the packer is barely moving lol You can tell she built up some pressure with the way she springs back upon retracting, gotta appreciate the power of hydraulics! Actually had a good look at the blade in this video, everything seemed to fall off pretty well. Loved the exploding glass at 8:50 :P Looks like you were running the compactor in a few different modes... manual and continuous looked popular! Awesome work!
@MitchellM15 I don't consider it full until the packer stops either. I try to keep the packer running non-stop. There were a few times when it wouldn't pop back, so I'd have to retract it manually.
There was another truck helping me out on my route, so I had to drive around a little bit to make sure everything was picked up. Normally, I don't go down a street more than once per side.
I saw a McD's french fry container sticking around pretty long lol. Another awesome video, really hope you can make more! Since somebody quit at AAW, there haven't been any hopper videos lol
Nice footage, nothing really to pick up huh? Wow something popped at 8:51, that was weird at 9:10 the blade comes down and there before you is a cardboard box still in it's original shape :P And weird, then you drove down the same street later in the video to see that cardboard box again O.o Nice video.
Just like the one I drive good truck just too many sensors being put em makes for a long day when they start going bad but other than that it's a good truck
Yes trash does get behind the blade but there's side door so u can clean it out and the pack assist blade trash gets on top of it but most time is easy to clean out that's a good question u asked 👍
Is this truck 2402, 2403, or 2404? I know 2401's old driver got 2413 after 2401 was sent off. Your Republic Services is the Melrose Park. Tell me the truck number and if I'm right.
The injury rates for workers even doing recycling is something that companies that look at. If they can reduce or eliminate it why not. You’ve also expanded the labor force that can do the job as well. Eye hand coordination, good driving skills versus those plus the willingness to jump in and out of a truck for 8-10 hours a day. I did recycling side load years ago. Thought I was in great shape when I started. I was wrong. I got in great shape from doing it. The number of people willing to work at the pace we did years ago just isn’t there.
Thank you for posting your video, by far your hopper action videos are my favourite. :)
Another awesome job! Keep em' coming!
Nice. I hope you do lots more like this.
My new fav truck is the autoreach! ^_^
Awesome job!
Great video.
I love it!!!

There's a lot people need to learn...

Lol at the end I was waiting for you to get that box and then just when.. run out of video.
Feed that pig!! Keep feeding it!! It'll take it! Love automated. Only way to pick up trash and recycle! We have few of them at my company. Need more!
SoxFan1519 Sorry it took so long to reply. This truck isn't out of Melrose Park. It's an Elgin truck, 2471, that has been transferred elsewhere now.
Just like the one I drive good truck just too many sensors being put em makes for a long day when they start going bad but other than that it's a good truck
very nice mate good hopper shots :) is this a go Pro camera ? cheers from Queensland Australia Liam :) !
Sorry, I'm really slow on comments sometimes.Thanks! It's a Swann Freestyle HD, made in Oz if i remember correctly. Cheers!
As for the box, the space between the pack-assist panel and the body is bigger than it appears.
nice
more! more! more!
No
The truck ain’t full till it won’t compact but you can still fit another 30 cans in it.
Also it is ment for a truck with bigger hopper but still it is true
moooooooooooore!!!!!
do you ever get trash that falls behind the packer blade?
Yes trash does get behind the blade but there's side door so u can clean it out and the pack assist blade trash gets on top of it but most time is easy to clean out that's a good question u asked 👍
If you see him any time soon tell him that his friend from his Monday route gave you a comment on a video.
@DNYDrum For recycle I've hit 9 tons, for trash I've had over 13.
Company? And will there be more vids of this truck soon?

How does the driver know when it’s completely full ?
laila ready the body starts to bulge and with the hopper cameras on a zr and autoreach
i wonder where i can buy one from hahaha
Something just got squeezed popped like a zit. Happens all the time.
Odd I saw no ammo boxes...
its all black cart stuff @ 4:00
How do you make. Hopper videos
Magnetic camera mount with a safety strap, just in case.

IF YOU KNOW HIM.
Hi

THAT COMPACTOR IS WIMPY.
So is your mom
Uhh
They made these trucks just so they did'nt have 2 pay another person w.t.f.....
Marlo Stanfield it’s cheaper and saves more money. More productivity too
