Based on the follow up of the picture clips of Waste Management's new Autocar ACX/McNeilus Standard Series Rear Loaders from my last post, was able to catch some action from both of these trucks. One I caught on yardwaste run from Siesta Key's Wednesday route, & the 2nd one I caught on the normal Tuesday trash run in my neighborhood!
On an early morning, Wedesnday, 6/27/12 after geting home from work, decided to head to Siesta Key 20-25 mins away from me to get some trash action, & saw 1 of these new RELs in action. But it was on yardwaste duty, but it was still worth the catch! Didnt film them much further cauz they didnt seem to be pleased with me filming them. But my main goal in Siesta Key was to get serious REL action on the intense trash set outs of manual cans & semi-automated carts, probably next time!!!
On a Tuesday afternoon on 9/11/2012, was surprized to see 1 of these new CNG powered Autocar RELs again in my neighborhood on trash route. The normal truck that comes is usually the new current CNG powered McNeilus Heavy Duty Series REL on Mack MRU chassis based on my last post, but due to electrical problems, the Autocar showed up as a substitute!
The driver & the helper didnt seem to have problems with me filming, so I proceeded! The only problem this truck had was the noise on the packer's carrier plates as it was in sweep mode clearing the hopper,(dont know if it was the carrier plate's slide shoes or the joints that hold together the pistons driving the carrier plates), explains why he stopped the sweep plates half way on some stops. But the trash action on this REL I felt was still worth it since I may never see this Autocar in my hood again!
