Nice to see the Command in something other than Republic colors, it actually looks decent with a conventional cab. Still not a fan of the look of the econic cab but it looks different paired with the ZR in the WM logo. Nice finds for sure!
One other thing, - it was very handy for WM that "Rays" had the same colour bins, I wonder if that affected the price in the 'buy out', - personally I would have thought so.
Love the econic That euro horn is great. Turning radius seems good but im sure it takes getting use to that cab forward design. Regardless both are great spots. Enjoyed watching
Interesting combos, never thought WM would by an SST, wonder if other yards bought them...i wonder how they like em...cool to see the ZR on that big cab too!
Wow. Never seen any of those combos before. WM's really getting out of their comfort zone. Hopefully they stick to autocar here although the new cab is pretty cool
First Econic ASL on the road! (Those Suez/Veolia ones don't count since they are a different model AND I suspect they got a good discount for buying those poor sellers.)
Huh Econic ASLs have been around in Europe basically since the first release of the cab in 1998 😅 Also what do you mean with the Suez/Veolia Econics in down under? Those were all sourced brand new
A question. How come they have the Econic's wiper blades pointing towards the left rearview mirror? Normally this is a thing in countries that drive on the left (Japan, United Kingdom, Australia, etc.). On the other hand, the long-nosed Freightliner has them pointing towards the right rearview mirror.
A lot of truck cabs position their wipers toward where the driver is seated. The Econic is RHD so the wipers point to the right. The M2 is LHD, so they point to the left.
It’s based on the side of the cab the driver sits on, in the conventional truck, the driver is on the left hand side, so, the wipers go to the left to give him the most visibility possible, this reverses on the flat cab as the driver sits on the right side. The wipers go to the right for better visibility.
@@parkergray5346 I understand. And since you're telling me that, in my city there is a Mercedes sweeper truck owned by the city council of the city where I live (I'm from Spain, to finish first), which dates back to 2005, and has a peculiarity: the steering wheel is on the side. left. And I found out about that very late, since I realized it a few months ago. And the fact is that, for both side-loading and rear-loading garbage trucks, the steering wheel is on the left side; On the other hand, the sweeper truck has it on the right side. And to that we also add the orientation of the wiper blades of the two types of garbage trucks in my city, since they are pointed towards the right rearview mirror; something that in the sweeper truck they have them pointed towards the left rearview mirror.
The cab on the Freightliner is very similar to the one used by Dennis in the UK and Mercedes and other makers in Europe. I wonder if a lot of makes will all end up having this style of cab.
@@laurin4339 Thanks for the reply, - your answer doesn't surprise me. - Over here we call it "Badge Engineering", - they just ask what make you want and stick the appropriate one on. I didn't Freightliner were owned by Mercedes, the bloody Germans have acquired virtually ALL our Car & Truck makers. When you go to the super-market you'd think you were in Europe - or Asia by the makes parked their.
Wm has repainted about 1/3 of the old fleet and I think most if not all of the old rays trucks are getting Refurbished. Nice to know there is another rays fan out there! :D
So I go Lakeland and drop some trucks so they can fix it then you should go there they make garbage trucks see if they let you record them makeing the trucks
I can answer that! Here are the trucks! Rays/Wm painted Heil pythons Wm painted labrie trucks Wm painted zrs rays/Wm painted kenworth rear loders rays/Wm painted Curroto cans 3rd or 2nd gen mcneilus autoreachs there are also a wide variety of mcneilus and new way rear loders. And a couple odd balls! I hope that answers your question! :D
One hell of a WM operation in this region 😂 keep up the unique finds brotha!
For sure. Thank you sir!
buy the way this is in indy aka Indianapolis
This was a WM buyout.. “Rays trash service”
These are extremely cool trucks! I never thought I would see a WM Econic ZR or M2 Command-SST. Both of them were cool!
Damn that EconicSD ZR is beautiful! That truck was so entertaining to watch. The CommandSST already looks like it’s a falling apart lol
Nice to see the Command in something other than Republic colors, it actually looks decent with a conventional cab. Still not a fan of the look of the econic cab but it looks different paired with the ZR in the WM logo. Nice finds for sure!
Very unique finds! Im not the biggest fan if the econic cabs but they are definitely comfortable looking. Great video!
HOLY CRAP I had a heart attack when I saw the carts! Finally someone uploads a video of a old rays area!
Same! I always get excited when I see Indy in videos lol. Also Ray's had been around forever, it was sad to see WM buy them out
Super sad. Rays was a part of the community and seeing get turned green makes me very mad. At least Wm is still buying wacky trucks!

OMG waste management is now on rays team nice one❤
Love the econic

Republic looks good with the econicsd rear loader i cant imagine how good a econicsd zr would look in the republic colors
Interesting combos, never thought WM would by an SST, wonder if other yards bought them...i wonder how they like em...cool to see the ZR on that big cab too!
They have bought Freightliner Cabover Garbage trucks before so I’m not too surprised
Nice video! Never knew WM had SSTs
*Oh my*
That's the most unique pair of trucks I've ever seen
WM of central Indiana has a really cool stuff! :D
Its like a hole new fleet
Amazing
love the Freightliner Econic
wonder why
Nice video! Definitely my favorite find that you filmed!
That's a bloody nice truck
nice vid. the sst's arm is kinda looks meesed up
Interesting choices for WM
Definitely
Wow. Never seen any of those combos before. WM's really getting out of their comfort zone. Hopefully they stick to autocar here although the new cab is pretty cool
I think they buying more Freightliner
Very cool!
I like the wm

Sad that they don’t make Commanders anymore.

fyi the Freightliner Econic is just a rebranded Mercedes Econic, basically no difference between both
Freightliner is owned by Mercedes

Well.. that’s new
Moisturizers in it And steering wheel Maybe I think that Should a have I think what it should have is a sleeper
Glad to see Rays trash service post WM buyout. Has the fleet changed significantly since then with what trucks?
About half is the same
will WM repaint some of the old Ray's trucks after the buyout or will they get scrapped? Would love to see video of the old Ray's trucks
Wm has repainted about 1/3 of the old fleet and I think most if not all of the old rays trucks are getting Refurbished. Nice to know there is another rays fan out there! :D

interesting combos for big green, i wonder what else is roaming this region🤔
I can answer that! Here are the trucks! Rays/Wm painted Heil pythons Wm painted labrie trucks
Wm painted zrs rays/Wm painted kenworth rear loders rays/Wm painted Curroto cans 3rd or 2nd gen mcneilus autoreachs there are also a wide variety of mcneilus and new way rear loders. And a couple odd balls! I hope that answers your question! :D
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THOSE THINGS ARE 💀💀💀
this is what republic wants lmao
I really hope WM doesn’t buy any more Econics. Wouldn’t mind seeing more M2 ZRs and Command SSTs tho!
Econics are actually very nice
The sst arm is retarded it should not be put on another truck they need to bring the 7,000 arm back
@@Trashmaster15Ugliest cab I’ve ever seen. It’s still a really unique truck but the cab…ughhh 🤮
