WM residential position ?s

I worked as roll off, we had front load and side load trucks. I was NOT able to hack side load. It is rough. Hot herky jerky all day, constantly looking over your shoulder or in a mirror, gas, brake, herky jerk while looking backwards, now gas hard for 20 feet and repete 700 plus times a day. Front load has to push those cans in and out of garages, some of the tightest driving you can do, and ever see a crap apt. Building garbage coral? Yup clean it up driver. Rear load im not sure. Just dont think its cake and wine. Roll off is by leaps and bounds easier to do. And even with grocrey store nastyness, still cleaner. Most roll off have working a/c. Ever see where the engine is on front load? Yup thats it rubbing your right leg.

 

Well some people like it, then again some people like doing food and bev (shudder) try it, by all means. But dont exspect easy. Trash is hot, hard, and dirty. (Not in the good way) but some guys thrive.

 

Pedal to the right.

 

You dont count a a guy thriving in food service mike. Im pretty sure your a ####ing machine sent from the future to replace truck drivers....

 

Ha ha I don't know about me a machine ha-ha I'm usually the third last truck back to the yard, of course I also run some real less then stellar routes too so it's all relative I don't have to many easy days or routes. My Tuesday is a disaster there's a reason nobody bid on it and I got it coming in off the street ha-ha! My Tuesday this week was 18 stops and my Wednesday was 17 stops. My Thursday is all schools usually, with maybe only 12 stops but 900 cases sometimes.

I read on here that a common garbage truck saying is "Pedal to the right"

 

Foot down till sun down,

Give it the skinny pedal

If you can smell your load, your not moving fast enough. (Personal favorite that one)

 

Rear loader is hard work. Hopefully the city has carts and tippers or you are dumping by hand every stop. Don't get me started on yard waste bags. For 15.50 an hour that would be a tough sell. As far as Waste Management is concerned, a phone interview isn't much. There will be 2 in person interviews and even then you may not get it.
