roll off dumpsters

scared the bejeazers out of me as I was standing next to it. lesson learned...

I actually like these people so far though. almost all open tops, very few compactors. they tell me if the trash isn't in the can it isn't my problem. Allot of these companies want you to clean up around the cans but not these people. And if I get a can that is overloaded or is too tall and it takes them more then 10 minutes to get it fixed I just leave and they get billed for a pickup so I get paid as if I picked it up anyways. all automatic tarps although the one we had today broke half way through the day. The equipment isn't new by any means but I don't have to work on it so who cares. And the pay is good.

 

They are REAL good about giving me control over what I haul. If it is over the rails they have tn minutes to get it smashed down or I leave and they get charged. If it is too heavy I don't haul it. We were at a granit/marble countertop place today and that can was FULL of granit cutouts. that baby made the front end a little light when I pulled it up. That was a 20 yard can they told me they wanted a 40 yard when they originally called.... imagine what that would have been like!!

 

I had one yesterday that picked the front up about two feet on me. The winch stoped pulling it all together. I'm under strict order that f it pulls the wheels off the ground and they stay off the ground to not pull it.

We are lazy. Anything on the ground stays on the ground. if it is over the top I have the choice to throw it on the ground or just leave it and have dispatch call and tell them to offload some of it before I pull it. There is a construction co that called for pickup 4 times this week and every time we went it was overloaded. they'd call and say they tok care of it, I'd drive back out there and it hadn't been touched so I left again. I got paid as if I had pulled it so I dont' care either way.

Getting some good hours too. I hit overtime at noon today and I still have tomarrow to work too.
