Really? I never really thought about it.If you knew how often they burnt you’d never drive near them.
Chemical reactions: rare.Really? I never really thought about it.
That is a perfect metaphor for 2020: a rolling dumpster fire.Drove by this in Troutman yesterday.View attachment 235858
Don’t forget lazy drivers letting trash get between the body and cab. Then if that gets hot enough to pop a hydraulic line there’s no coming back.Chemical reactions: rare.
Moron chucking smoldering charcoal/grills in dumpster: not exactly uncommon.
I already try to not drive near them for the stink reason... but you have my curiosity.If you knew how often they burnt you’d never drive near them.
Ride by your local cities lot where they park the equipment and see how many toasted ones are out there. I’ve had one burn to the ground, 2 burn bad enough for Insurance having to pay and numerous small fires the driver caught in time so it just cost me a extinguisher recharge. If you get a load that catches fire you’re suppose to close the top door, compact the load, and then find a parking lot to dump it in.I already try to not drive near them for the stink reason... but you have my curiosity.
how often?

We pretty much got out of front loaders so they're much rarer at my city now. They still char stuff off the exhaust on the sideloaders but the hydros are opposite and mostly under. We get some knuckle head driver rolling in on brakes right on the verge pretty often, one was smoking for an hour today because he had something wedged on the left side brake pedal.Ride by your local cities lot where they park the equipment and see how many toasted ones are out there.

We took over most everything from Winston including all the government buildings. I’ve heard Kernersville is planning on getting out of it in the near future which probably means I’m buying another truck.We pretty much got out of front loaders so they're much rarer at my city now.

Can't say I'm sad to see them go. Hope it's benefitting you. We still have 3 trucks to run 1 route, not sure what they get other than the shop, maybe cardboard.We took over most everything from Winston including all the government buildings.

I think y’all are still running cardboard. It’s another route for sure. It’s an economies of scale business, the more stops I add the more each stop makes.Can't say I'm sad to see them go.
