Originally I was going to post a first person POV angle this week, but the driver of the mother truck really wanted to see a video with him in it. So, here you are Marco.
Another great video, very cool. it's stupid, but a favorite part is the squeak from your camera mount 6:42 when you check it's holding after changing its position. Do you think you'd be able to mount a camera onto the box of the front load truck ("Mother truck")? It could be cool to see your truck backing up to it for unloading and seeing this box being emptied into the front load truck from the front box perspective. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I have thought about trying to mount the camera to the trucks' boxes in the past, especially when we had contracts in which we used them exclusively for manual curbside waste collection. But the fear of the camera potentially falling into the hopper is what seemed to discourage me from doing so. If I'm able to purchase a newer model camera in the future, I'll try and attempt at that angle since this one being used currently is a 2018 model.
Nice job Tristan! Loving these on route videos, hope all has been well. Do you ever get the chance to help out the Redondo Beach routes? You're opinion on the DP Rapid Rails Athens has been buying? Are they still purchasing them?
Thanks! Redondo is out of a different yard, so no. They're still buying them but I'd have to ask those who drive them to see what they think. But the reality is they'll handle all three streams better than Rapid Rails will.
Awesome video dude.
Love your vids please keep posting!
