Crew & public safety is paramount, no bin (or cargo) is worth risk of injury or death. • Don't be afraid to say no. If a vehicle or load is unsafe, hazardous or doesn't feel right, refuse to drive it. It is your licence, your lifestyle & livelihood at risk. • GOAL, if in doubt Get Out And Look

brilliant video, very informative, loved the wagon setup. you are a very skilled driver and you and the two loaders are a great example of hard workers working together as a great team! like you said under appreciated job which jo public should be more thank ful for, so i will say from me big thanks for the job you guys do

Well spotted on the Terberg equipment Bins would only fall if they were damaged or had bent lips on the front edge Other than that the lifts were consistent. Vehicle to Vehicle differences are very apparent Uneven lifting on bulk/twin mode 1 fast lift 1 slow Auto mode getting knocked out once at the top Sensor issues The new 2020/21 vehicles have fully electric lifts. I believe they said "Patent Pending" on the back. Quite a severe lift action that could rip the bins out of your hands and rocket them up much faster than other equipment. You had to keep your wits about you

So this is how its do over in the UK! Old school rear loaders with runners but like as if its in an auto side loader! Collex!

HGV 2 driving is straight forward. It helps if you have driven larger vehicles previously of course. I say this due to my prior experience but even for new starters it is something that can picked up with confidence and training. Height, width, weight and length are considerations to be continually mindful unlike a car which you point and go anywhere. Tail swing, mirrors sticking out, heavy loads, tall roof/box/wind deflector all act as jousts against lampposts, buildings, cyclists and other road users. Leave plenty of space when overtaking, assess the distance needed and run off and thing about how your vehicles speed and size affects others. If you're looking at training, go for 5 days not 4. For the sake of a small saving you're cheating yourself out of a day of training. I would rather go into an examination/assessment with as much training and help as possible before attemtping a test. Retest fees are high yes, however circumstances on test day may necessitate it. The test itself doesn't have to be passed first time, it does not guarantee a better qualified driver due to first time pass. Keep calm Be attentive Buy books, watch videos etc Try it enjoy it and stay safe

I always take the time to talk to the bin men when I can. I'm trying to gain my class 2 license myself. I work in social care at the moment

0630 - 1630 was the rota/paid time. Some days done earlier, some days later. Black bins were normally quicker than recycling, especially cardboard. There js *always* time for a break, if you are running about and skipping legally required breaks as you say then your gaff isn't scheduling work correctly or fairly. Job isn't worth it nor does it pay enough to run yourself into a early grave. Although there is an early finish incentive to rush, my employers back then said don't run the rounds otherwise they'll pile more on you. Running yourself ragged just to finish that late isn't worth it, you're making someone at desk have an easier life.
