1995 Ford L8000 Garbage Truck

Watch as Aaron takes down a trash route a little after Halloween using a more classic truck from The Garbage Man fleet. Despite the malfunction going on with the throttle advance, two of us working together on it during the busiest season of the year wasn't all that bad--proper teamwork and being smart about when to run the slow packer made it more enjoyable than you might think. It's too bad I for some reason didn't show the inside of the cab, for it had its own sights and sounds that were a far cry from the cheap feel of the hauler's Freightliner and International cab interiors. This is the only time I ever worked with or even got to see this machine on route..I sure would have liked to experience more of it, especially once the second (useless) tipper was removed and the speed-up was put back in working order.
