Gotta say these up coming videos are gonna be fun to watch. The Blue Team seems interesting, never knew they helped out during strikes. I only knew they helped out after hurricanes and tornadoes.
I work for republic. All you have to do to qualify for blue crew is be accident free for 2 years. You still work from your home site 99% of the time too. Not as cool as it sounds unfortunately
Well that is definitely some of the heaviest contamination I've ever seen. All recycle trash and yard waste together is very hard to sort. Why were they taking all 3 carts that day?
some are slow some are fast not a bad truck i hate that the packer keeps running the whole time its a bitch to clean behind the packer and they are all joystick no paddle buttons like RR or bridgeport bridgeports arent that great either scorpian is best labries are decent along with curbtender but dont pack all the into the body but what do i know anybody like gomez or autocar or pete thats all burrtec has by me and bridgeports got 2 new bridgeports and nobody wants to use them lol now they are since we got 4 trucks down still
@@staintedcards I love running the ZR myself. I hate AmReps and Bridgeport’s. Never ran a Scorpion. LaBrie and New Way are cool. CurbTenders are good too
Blue Crew is something you qualify for as a driver for Republic Services after being accident free for two years. Once you sign up for it and are accepted, not a whole lot changes. There is just a chance you could travel to a different site in a different state to help if another location requests help in times of short staffing, for however long and it’s all expenses paid and you make decent money while you’re there. Airfare, Hotel, rental car, food allowance and a little extra money added to your checks till you come back home.
Basically, the Teamsters local union 542 (Google it) and Republic workers stopped working until the company was able to give them what they wanted.

some those arms are fast others are slower think they make it slower so it doesnt wreck the bins there is a way to make the arm faster i was told something about turning the pressure up or down on the arm or PTO i seen it on discovery channel had an old show about how the trucks are made now and back in the old days actually had Laidlaw trucks they showed from the 80's 90's cant remember the name of the show showed proper ways to step outta the cab if only they had the answers to the CDL test it changes everytime i take it last 5 years ive tried to pass i must be stupid its the air brakes part that trips me up they asked if your going down hill at 40 or 50 and the brakes fail what do you do? i wrote kiss your ass goodbye lol hang on for the ride of your life make sure you have clean underwear on

There was a trash strike with not enough drivers
Do they sort through it after they mix it?
Surprised the 32 evr2 didn’t fall in
awesome video
Thanks!
Have mercy!
First time! Haha
The arm on this ZR is painfully slow

Looks like treks arm… operates likes treks arm
Blue crew man
Yes sir
Looks like it's her first time in a ZR! Know where she's from?
It most definitely was! Not only that but the truck is also not super fast. She is from Georgia! Thanks for watching.
she is trump's cousin
@@staintedcardsof course your one of those people who turn unpolitical things, political..
@@FresnoRefuseTrucks it took you a whole year to come up with that? next year or 2025 they'll strike again in another state or part of CA
That sucks that they have to mix all of that but good video
Oh well. I think most people were just happy to get stuff taken away lol
@@ChulaVistaKid lol
Thank god for the Teamsters.
What exactly is the Blue Crew and who are they ?

Did you catch Kenny
I did just haven’t uploaded that video
kenny would have had that street knocked out in 15 mins lol
What happened during the strike? I keep hearing about it and I don’t know what it is. Nice video though.

It would be nice if they put the trash bins back where they found them instead of leaving them halfway in the middle of the street
chula vista needs to fire old company, employees and union and hire a new trash company ..
They won’t be eligible to renew their contract this year.
