Video of the Week!

It's time again for this weeks garbage truck video!

McNeilus AutoReach body on an Autocar ACX chassis

Today's video features the newest addition to the local Waste Management yard's fleet! It is an Autocar ACX with a McNeilus AutoReach automated side load body. This truck was originally purchased for the Portland, OR yard, however, this truck saw very little action down there. Soon after its purchase, the Portland yard converted it's fleet to trucks running on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). As a result, my local yard was able to pick up this truck nearly brand new. The McNeilus AutoReach is really a fun truck to watch, and I hope you guys enjoy the video! Also, I apologize for the audio. Pretty much all you can hear is wind. Right as I began filming, a strong summer thunderstorm rolled in, and kicked up quite the dirt storm! Made for quite the backdrop for the video, but unfortunately, the audio suffered as a result! But don't worry, there will be plenty more video of this truck to come! Enjoy!
