This was one of our units before "privatization" the crock was a lot of the people who worked for the city also lived in the city and had a vested interest in making sure things were done right. Legend has it these guys never missed a pick up and scored 90% in solid waste removal and didn't have any of the fancy automated equipment that does nothing but break down, like our contractor has today.[ATTACH=full]332185[/ATTACH]This was just one of the 6 trucks the city owned. They had 3 Ford L8000s and 3 Sterlings. The Fords were all Leach 2R2 packers and the Sterlings were all Loadmaster Excel units although one of the packers looks like it may have been a Loadmaster 400 demolition packer. The fleet they had was not the prettiest, but they had good machines and good people and always got the job done. Stupid to sell off assets you already own and then become a slave to some corporation that will do nothing but jerk you around and screw you in the end. City Hall as far as I and a lot of my other citizens are concerned got it wrong on this one.
