Decoding the Garbage Route Sequence!
Welcome back to the TrashTrekker channel! My apologies for the brief hiatus, but I'm back with something a little different today. Instead of my usual garbage collection videos, let's delve into the world of automated side loader (ASL) routes and how they're strategically sequenced.
ASL trucks, designed for efficiency and operated by a single driver, bring a unique set of challenges. I'll be focusing solely on ASL trucks in this video.
I'll walk you through various route scenarios, including the simple grid pattern, a modified square grid, a wider rectangular block pattern (butterfly pattern), and a real-world scenario from my Monday route. Each presents unique challenges and solutions.
I encourage you to pause the video and try routing the map yourself. Spot the subtle quirks I've included for guidance. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach; as long as you finish safely and on time, the method is effective.
How did it go? I want to express my gratitude for joining me on this video-it's my first voice-over, and the experience, though challenging, has been incredibly rewarding. Your support is invaluable. Stay tuned for more content, and I'm eager to see you all in the next one. Thank you for being part of my first voice-over adventure!

This is so cool to hear you do this and talk about the things that go on to do a route timely and effectively. I think another thing that effects route timing is in the condition of the truck. A driver im friends with was behind an hour because his blade was so slow, had to stop several times to manually run it and cycle it back. I felt bad for him, the arm was a good pace but slow blade. The backing make sense but avoid it as much as possible, i know there are times when you cant avoid it. I once recorded a route in Manhattan Beach with homes by the beach and the residents set thei carts out in the alleys, the drviers have to back into them all day from PCH i think to get into all those alleys. It does look stressful, especially during rush hour. I love the running circles route, it is perfect if you are recording a route thst is rural but the blocks are squared. In Henderson, NV i record and the drivers call those rural areas 'the scattereds' cause the stops are far apart, but they just make right turns all day, helps me to know where they will he next before they even finish the block lol. It was cool seeing you map out the areas, i couldnt find the quirk though. Awesome stuff, always enjoy the stuff you post. It would be cool to see you filming your truck pack out and having the blade run several cycles to pack it away.
Corporate switched all but 2 of our residential routes from rearload to asl. We had 5 asl routes and 10 rearload routes including 3 recycling routes. They moved the trash routes first with new pythons and now getting new zrs. I do recycling with 6 days out in the county and 4 days in town. Ive been in one of the old zrs since the switch it wasnt to hard to reroute my days from rearload to asl. Just a bit more driving. They've decided to give me a python so I'll need to learn the new arm but at least its a new truck lol. If you're in an autocar there is a cupholder sold on amazon that will fit in their oversized cupholder.
I have wm and they are taught to make left turns when they can
Amazing video. Glad I saw this. Do you only do recycling?

i’m glad you liked the video. Yes, my current route is recycling. But we can do the other commodities for over time as a re-assignments using the same truck.
