Hell Dre. I know you have moved on in the industry but watched all the republic videos you made. I retired early from aviation career. Got bored as hell few years later. So at age 54 I decided to pull my CDL-A out of the wallet and give it a try and republic is close by. So- from application to job offer (today) was 10 days. They made me a good offer and I have accepted. Thanks for showing us the ropes. I’m looking forward to getting started and learning front load operations.
Glad to see big brother isn’t keeping you down man ! Always enjoy your positivity and how you work. I’ll be be posting again soon, take care - Also thanks for putting Toon Mosley up there. I just checked him out and it makes me miss my days in rear load. Dude def kills it. Rear load is the hardest working job in trash.
Little late to the party here but to answer your question, in SoCal we use scout trucks (pickups with forks) for apartment pullouts. Most buildings have their 4 yarders or less in basements and trust me, you don't want to be pushing one of those up a ramp from a basement. Other buildings are so huge that it can be a long walk down a narrow driveway to where the dumpsters are. Also we have tight spaces to the point where custom narrow dumpsters are needed, which is why we have some pretty funny looking shapes of bins out here. Also most of our bins in L.A have the fork slots on the bottom similar to a forklift pallet.
I am in California and that's exactly what they do. I am in LA to be specific and one hauler has an entire area. There are so many cans. I live in an apartment where there is an incline with a metal rail for the gate. I would not be able to see it being done manually.
Now that you aren’t working for republic anymore can you let us know how much you were averaging on a weekly basis? For those of us starting off in the garbage field
Ya idk why that place doesn’t do roll off collections or something but it’s preety entertaining and plus those guys are old so ig that’s why they do scout pull outs I agree it would be Easier if it was rear loader or better yet non pull out just dump and go Yk and some spots are to tight for a non pull out like for example my trailer park has cars and a wire above it used to be non pull out a long time ago awesome video thanks for the shout out man !
I remember in on one of the older videos you showed us the shopping center at late 3am in the morning and there would be an 8yd compactor that would go Monday Wednesday Friday
The truck the pulls the cans out for the front loader in California is because it's a lot of apartments that the truck can not maneuver in due to tight spaces and deep dips in the driveways. So to save time and a headache they have those trucks to get the cans ...and bring them out and take them back
Hey Dre my man you don't suck at posting video's you just gotta find out whats gonna work the best for you time wise and what have you yes it would be nice to see more of your great video's but its gonna mean more work for you with edit's and setting up what time of the week to post your video's and that's gonna eat up more of your time. Time that you really don't have much to spare in a day or week for that matter. I mean some of us OG members will understand it's hard to post 3 or 4 video's a week even harder when you have a wee little bundle of joy running around your crib but you know what ever you end up doing or how many video's you end up posting you old time members we be sticking with ya my good man. On a side note maybe just try to put up your video on the same day and the same time and go from there. Well here is the end of my rant lol and here's looking forward to a great weekend for us all and to my main man Dre keep them wheels rolling and stay safe P.s. Maybe on one of your video's you could pop in a picture of your little baby. Till next time
Yea Dre those "crab " trucks what we use to call em are used to go into apartment buildings with like 4 to 6 2yrdrs with a incline..pushin those 2yd tanks are heavy..so thats why they do it..
Do you ever miss driving a tractor trailer? I remember you talking about doing over the road work and disliking it when you first started uploading videos of your republic work. I personally do local CDL A driving but still want to be a waste collector someday, however I worry I'll miss driving with a trailer. One of our vehicles in our fleet is a straight truck and I had to drive it last Saturday and I kept driving it like I had a trailer lol. One of the local companies out here has those Heil STARRS but they pay about $5 less starting out than my current company sadly
Hey Dre! This question may inappropriate, but I HAVE to ask. Have you ever found or seen anything in a dumpster that made you call 911? If you can tell us, please do. Thanks a lot, and happy weekend (hope you're off duty)!
The first 4yd I remember it from the rainy night video we’re it would go Monday Wednesday Friday but then they changed our service come on the day first day but we’re getting overloaded
Whats up rolling with dre how have you been sorry I keep asking for you to do things did you do it in this video if you didn't that's ok but in the if you are allowed to next video could you please do your air horn please and could you feature my profile picture and what I wrote about if that's okay answear the questions about what GoPro you have and how you keep it on your head to video these videos and when you record with your gopro that App you have to use Quilk do you go live or do you record the video then upload it to TH-cam because when I get older - i'm 16 how old do you have to be to become a front loader garbage truck driver i what to become a front loader garbage truck driver and if I ever get a GoPro i just wanted the questions answered about what kind of Gopro you have and what where on your head to make the videos and about the Quilk App and if you do live or you video it then upload it to TH-cam P.S could you feature this in your next video Have a great rest of your Weekend and I think you should make longer videos because if you do a short video that doesn't seem cool but if you did longer videos it's because then we get to see where your stops are and we get to see you empty your cans and then you could talk about your videos that people comment on then you could explain what they are saying that's why I think you should make longer P.S Have a Great rest of your weekend
Your truck is getting older and older whats the model a 2014? 2yard cans are pretty much nonexistant here, also neat that republic uses light blue for recycling as advanced here used to resticker and used very few blond lidded containers for recycle also seems there are very few allied containers, by chance will you do a review of the specs of your unit and is it a ex allied?
Yeah 2014 and don’t talk about my baby only I could do that lol. The light blue lids was a great idea for recycle and nah this truck came from a company called Bay Area that Republic bought out

Exactly in Canada do the same thing, often too for dropping new bins off and picking up broken as well.
Sounds great
Tyler Mac here I come too work for my truck 😊
Hey Dre I bet the surprise is your getting a new truck…… we just got one at our shop WV over the weekend
Do you have any vertical compactors on your route?
Nice video! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot
Dre almost every stop in LA is a pushout. That first bin isn’t far enough to bother with a scout truck btw.
The west coast is tough
Now that you aren’t working for republic anymore can you let us know how much you were averaging on a weekly basis? For those of us starting off in the garbage field
What is the most unusual item you have found in a can?
Refrigerator maybe
Ya idk why that place doesn’t do roll off collections or something but it’s preety entertaining and plus those guys are old so ig that’s why they do scout pull outs I agree it would be Easier if it was rear loader or better yet non pull out just dump and go Yk and some spots are to tight for a non pull out like for example my trailer park has cars and a wire above it used to be non pull out a long time ago awesome video thanks for the shout out man !

Please more compacting views and transfer station visits
Good to see you back!!! any hopper videos coming out soon? Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks a lot and idk man maybe lol

Makes sense

Do you have a backup camera? Hopper camera? Are your forks calibrated to take the weights of the can?
Back up camera yes, hopper camera no, scale truck no !
Yea Dre those "crab " trucks what we use to call em are used to go into apartment buildings with like 4 to 6 2yrdrs with a incline..pushin those 2yd tanks are heavy..so thats why they do it..

Hey man keep that old mack as long as you can I have a new truck and they suck , they will not bang a can or pack so keep that old girl.
I’ve heard that a lot, they’re making the trucks soft
Hey Dre! This question may inappropriate, but I HAVE to ask. Have you ever found or seen anything in a dumpster that made you call 911? If you can tell us, please do. Thanks a lot, and happy weekend (hope you're off duty)!
Lol no only reason I’ve ever had to call 911 was when I had a load fire
I think I want to switch over from cement trucks to driving garbage trucks
What do you dislike about this job? I watched the one video of cleaning out the back behind the blade and that seemed like the worst to me anyway
hi dre long time no see man but are you getting a new truck soon
Yeah you could say that

The first 4yd I remember it from the rainy night video we’re it would go Monday Wednesday Friday but then they changed our service come on the day first day but we’re getting overloaded
