I am just so relieved every time I watch this video, knowing that you were able to get at least one video of this truck. Just imagine how mindblown people will be 30years from now watching this thing.

Well ain’t nobody sleeping in on trash day with that beast roaming the streets at 6am!

I remember this sound waking me up in the morning as a kid. Loved it then and love it now.

I love when they blow a little smoke means they're seasoned

Geez, you weren't kidding when you said you found an awesome truck. Holy Detroit this truck sounds fantastic. Really cool CCC / Dempster combo too. Slow tipper but the sound that truck makes when it packs

Yeah, I like how Portland worked that out. Theres a ton of haulers still doing business within the city as a result. Other large cities looking to privatize should consider similar ideas. Glad you enjoyed it!

Great to see this still running in this modern age of ours.

Holy Detroit batman! What a fucking beast! Everything about this truck rocked! Agreed with Garbage /Trucks AZ, the sound it makes while packing. Music to my ears! Wow, never heard a place besides Cali to complain over smoke from a truck.. Absolutely killer work man! Enjoy this piece of history!

Awesome video! The sound of this truck is really something. And I always enjoy watching a Route King.

3amrepmike3 That sounds really good! :)

This is a nice old school ez pack and man dat bad boy has a loud roar.

This was a 10min video which went pretty quick! I respect your enthusiasm for this machine in the video, definitely an awesome thing, just looks like the full garbage truck package seeing it at 2:10. It got me at the start with the somewhat mellow idling sound, then that thick puff of smoke followed by that roughly awesome DD sound. It's almost like it has it's own category, because you can't describe it as a growler or screamer, kind of in between eh? Always been a fan of how these Dempsters look too with the unique tailgate shape and cross bars holding the packer together as a whole - big fan of the fat slide cylinder. It was your real suburban garbage day scene during the video too, with the streets littered with bins, even another truck up ahead at one point, but then this loud and real garbage truck moving along with a couple of guys loading at the back. Good stuff!!!

Great footage! What an awesome truck. I love the variety of carts they have. Can't wait to see more of this beast.

What a great sound!!! I could run that truck all day!

You might be pleased to know that I've enjoyed this truck's motor blaring through my car speakers (that's right, playing it on the phone but hooked up to the car) on more than one occasion. And in an enclosed place like that it really is a neat experience...not something I've tried with very many videos' sound. But then again, not many have posted garbage trucks that feature this engine.

Speaking of Portland, OR: the 6-71 (in its non-turbocharged form) was the engine in many GMC Old Look buses that Rose City Transit (Tri-Met in 1969) had. After the re-branding, Tri-Met's "New Look" buses (by both GMC and Flxible) had 6V71 or 8V71 (mostly 8V71) engines. Tri-Met's last buses with a two-cycle engine were their 1982 GMC RTS II T8J204s, using 6V92TA engines.

Now there is a truck, I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing or hearing, miss those good ole days. seems now days while trucks may still have excellent compaction ratios, depending on the body, these new trucks while they may look neat don't have the excitement factor that a 2 stroke Detroit could create, both in the puff of exhaust or the growl. I am a Detroit diesel fan myself, but I still love garbage trucks regardless, you did a fine job in capturing this one and I hope there are many more to follow.

I agree with you there, we followed this truck for a couple hours I'd guess just because it was so awesome to watch and hear working. I was so happy to finally film a Detroit powered garbage truck so it was a great day for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as you did! And I hope more Detroits are in my future too haha thanks for commenting!

Nice video. These guy's were running a Gar Wood 900 not too long ago. I think they've since sold it. Awesome company and a great group of guys. Fun little factoid: Gruetter was one of the "G"s in AGG (the company that David and I use to work for)

Crane Carrier was bought by and has been renamed Battle Motors.

It reminds me of the CCC front loader garbage truck with the Detroit Diesel 6V71 N or TA with the HT series Allison Transmission the name of that company is Solid Waste Transportation Recycling company S.W.T.R. the last time I've seen the company is in 2005 I've missed that company along with the older buses

There's a gentleman on the East Coast that filmed a Ford Garbage Truck with a Series 60 its sounds great too

Awesome video Mike! Sounds like the owner was really cool!!! Man, she has a nice purrrrr to her! Gotta love Detriots. And I'm surprised the truck doesn't have a surgeon general's warning from all that smoke haha not complaining though!!! What was the truck infront of this one at 7:24? Once again great catch man!

@3amrepmike3

10 жыл бұрын

The whole company is a fantastic company from what I could tell. Its funny you joke about the surgeon general warning as I almost said something along the lines of "this truck smokes 10 packs a day" when writing the description haha Very observant there about the tuck down the street. Thats actually another Dempster doing the recycling and its on a nice ol' Pete too ;) You'll likely see a video of it from Kenny soon! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Man i hate ccc rigs especially on cng. but i love a 2 stroke detroit id probably swallow my pride to drive one of these. Sorry for the ccc hate but i got spoiled with Leu macks from day 1 lol

woah I haven't seen a truck blow smoke like this in a while!! And nice to see you guys back up in Portland, they tend to have quite a few older trucks around. I agree with you on the Route King body being one of the best - I always liked the shape and design of the body. Dang this truck sounds amazing haha Color scheme goes well too. Liked seeing a few older carts up there too, like those Zarns. Also, been wondering, with a three person crew like this, how do they travel to and from the route? Does the cab seat three people? Really liked the last shot as well. Awesome work as always! This was so great to see!

Good question about the 3 man crew. Some trucks actually can fit 3 or more workers, but this is not one of those trucks. As you may have read, the trash is collected later than greens and recycling is. So the way they worked things out is that the trash driver begins the route by himself, and only has to do a couple streets alone, but when the greens crew finishes up, they come over and join the trash crew. Its a neat system that is set up just right for fewer workers but maximum efficiency. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting

Man thats really awesome! Here in Montreal Canada, I dont think there any old garbage trucks operating with Detroits, BUT we still have alot of old fire trucks with those awesome engines! Check out my vids guys and you see and here 'em, along with buses and even snowblowers with 2 strokes!

Didn’t SD ESD Have Trucks Similar To This in The 70’s?

Great vid Mike! I love Detroit Diesels too! Just listen to that truck scream and growl during packing and takeoff! Is this truck still around? Where was this filmed? Any more footage of this mean-sounding Detroit Diesel 6v71?

Oh my dear lord... that truck sounds fucking beautiful. Really dig all the black particulate matter that she blows, too. Because fuck you, residents. I wouldn't mind seeing the other beauties this hauler runs; the 310 Dempster, 310 recycler, and the CCC MSL's would be cool. Great video, can't wait for more!

they dont actually rev that high they just sound like it because they are a 2 stroke diesel. plus since its a work truck that is constantly stopping and going they just beat the piss out of them

They just sound like it due to twice as many explosions as a 4 stroke but also cos the driver knows he doesnt drive it too often
