These trucks are nice. The lack of a curbside hopper door is a strange one. I drive a split body Automizer myself and recently they had to weld my hopper door shut because the door was so rotted that every time I dumped a recycling cart, it would cause my packer to stall because the sensor on the door would move, but sucks I can't open it now to pull stuff out. As for the arms, since they are new they might break-in a bit and speed up which is normal, but I find it odd how the arm slows down as the cart is going into the hopper. It does sound like the city ordered it with the hydraulics tuned down for both wear and tear and to help keep the lids shut.
The bolted panel ILO hopper door is actually an optional item, for the exact reason you are citing. The arm cushions are a standard feature built into the hydraulic cylinders
@@mitchellwhite5175 I recently got a new truck and on cold days the arm is wicked slow because of the arm cushings, yet when it is warm out it flips lids no problem.
Yes Your right About these body’s It’s all set at no need to rev up motor when I was doing house to house route back n 81 talk about loud you would hear me going down the street.
Beautiful trucks although it means the end of the Autocar era. There nice and smooth now but just wait till they get a couple more miles in. You guys seem to be getting your Peterbilts on time, Fresno recently demoed a Mack LR and are considering a switch because of how many orders Peterbilt owes us. Currently they are backlogged 2 years for us. How quiet are these things? Nice video!
with the remaining pellegrini companies (ACI, MTWS, etc.), I heard they treat their employees very well as it's family owned by the pellegrini family. their equipment is always up to date and in working order. as far as acceptance I'm not sure, go to the office and ask if they're hiring and ask for a job application the former pellegrini companies that they sold off to waste connections (GCS, MS, LS) I've heard of the new waste connections supervisors not honoring their CBAs and are obviously now subject to waste connections rules and regulations, though they also pay relatively well and all just received brand new equipment as the companies were being sold off
I like the performance of this driver,quick and persice.

Hi great video I love San Jose garbage trucks.
Even they have 108 and 110.
110 serves my area
How would I go about getting a job with aci ? I currently work for a different garbage company and looking for a change. Is it really hard to get in ?
