Here's some footage of an uncommon truck from CWS's SJ fleet.
Backstory on how this unit ended up here. In 2018, three 2002 Volvo WXLL Heil RRs that at the time were out of service for 3 years, were scrapped. Therefore, it allowed space for a few "new" trucks. CWS's operation in Oakland had received brand new trucks in 2013 for a new contract that extended their operations from West Oakland to recycling in the entire city of Oakland. Before that, they ran these Peterbilt 320s on M/As in their original white color scheme.
Their fleet is now almost 100% CNG if it isn't already 100%. They had a bunch of these units laying around. CWS SJ's yard is still basically 100% diesel. Oakland sent a decent chunk of their older fleet down here. The CWS SJ yard has a total of 8 M/As. Three have recently been repainted from white to grey (one of them you see here), with new arms and chromed wheels to go with it. Three more are still in the original Oakland colors, and I suspect that those are just parts trucks.
Now the driver in this video wasn't a fan of the truck lol. Apparently the truck packs a lot less than the other trucks, and even with the biggest spill shield currently on the market and the side-door closed, stuff was still flying out. He didn't enjoy that either. This truck was slow as hell too, probably because of the new arm that was installed. There was also a minor exhaust leak that you can hear on accelerations and at idling.
As always, enjoy the video! Thanks to the driver!
