Ah yes, another great one! Love that takeoff at 24:12, that ISL9 sounds so good going through the gears! Now, back to that 2004 Volvo. Do you happen to know if that 2004 Volvo WXLL is running the ISM engine? You know I really want to hear what it sounds like! If you can drive it on a rural run this week, please, please do a super long in cab ASMR style video with engine startup at the beginning, plenty of runs through the gears, cruising, etc. I want as much uncut footage of it as possible, including an engine startup when you're about to leave the yard - I want to pretend that I'm going out on a run in it when I'm listening to it! Make sure to make it as long as possible. For me, the longer the better! Please let me know ASAP.

Why did you take the lock of the locking bar around 7min mark? It should release in it's own.

No it doesn't release on it's own. They don't have any of those locks. Maybe you're thinking a dummy lock. The lock was tightly locked against the lid. So you can't open it. Have to unlock and lock it

@anthonyjimenez7447 My advice is take the job to your heart. When I got trained at different trash companies for experience. Every driver told me of all their trainees, I was the only one to take notes on my phone and journal. Then I'd print a map out once I knew then do it my own way. Takes notes of the street names and remember where the services are. The busy streets and the hotspots. Most importantly do what is easy for you. Commercial is just remembering how to get to the stops. Once you know where it is at and the customer name and the days it goes. It's easy. Residential is easy bcuz one day a week so you don't forget which area it goes. BUT it's alot of streets to cover so you need to study to not forget streets. My best advice is TAKE YOUR TIME. Regardless if trainer says you losing time. You have to drive YOUR way. Don't let anyone push you. If they want faster then they can drive

@anthonyjimenez7447 if you will be on a side loader. Be slow at first. Speed comes in time. Always remember to look what is behind the cans first before you play with the arm and grabbers. For example look if there's a mailbox behind or car to not knock it over or hit. And importantly when driving away....look at your convex mirror to make sure arm is stowed. For Front Loader and Roll off, watch overhead clearance and wires.

@dustinsudkamp3722 yes. So for rear load, height is 9 to 11 ft. With a front load you are 13'6" arms up. With can in air dumped. You are like 17 to almost 20 feet. So take that in perspective. LOOK UP! Always look up bcuz that's the hazards there. Stick head out the window everytime if not sure.

@johnbarcellos684 what kind of truck you drive? I am learning a new technique from some vets tbh. In these vids I heel toe. Some drivers pull the brake. But I've been driving as of now with two feet. Takes time to get use to the left leg and not be sore lol. What you do?

@johnbarcellos684 Yeah. My left leg gets pain in my thigh area and groin doing it for long time. Keep doing it, if that doesn't work out meaning pain continues. Then try learning heel toe. Brake with your right foot and see if you can plant your middle and upward of your foot on brake and curve it inwards where your heel is hitting the throttle. I learned that way. If not, then brake with your right foot until you almost like 3/4 into your can then about there while still rolling forward shift to neutral. The truck should be rolling really really slow now brake the rest of the truck with your left foot and throttle with your right. So most of the braking should be done with your right foot. Just at the last minute where the truck is almost fully stopped change your feet. Experiment all different ways. Even I am still learning.
