Hey guys! Here's a video of one of Green Team's newest trucks that's come from the 2021 contract renewals!
Another Green Team driver by the name of Francisco reached out to me and through conversation I was given route information and contact information for this particular truck, and the driver who drives it. After a little back and forth exchanging, eventually I found a day to head back to West San Jose.
This truck seems to be a mesh of some experimental Labrie innovations that I haven't really seen much in other Labrie products. This truck has an additional bracket on the arm itself to fixate a work light, and possibly a camera, which is something I haven't seen before. I think the biggest difference however is the grabber stow-away sensor. On any other Automizer you will notice that there are two metal "prongs" that fold away vertically when the grabber fully stows away, serving as a sensor to indicate whether the grabbers are open or not. On this truck, you'll notice two circular "dishes" on both grabbers that align with a sensor attached to the arm assembly. Not sure how viable that is because I can see issues with those dishes being accidentally sheered off in certain circumstances. This truck is also part of a new effort by Waste Connections to basically stick their name on everything when it comes to their affiliated companies, as evident by the mud flaps and the WC/CA logo on the tailgate.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this truck when it was brand new back around October of 2022, and it's amazing how even 10 months afterwards it could still pass off as a truck that's only been on route for a couple of weeks. You can credit that to the driver, Mario, who routinely shines his tires, maintains a mirror shine on the rims, and all around details and cleans his entire truck. He was actually hoping I would've filmed him when his truck was fully detailed since it'd been a month or so since he did a full detail lol
Special thank you to Mario for allowing us to film, and to Francisco for setting things up!
Enjoy the video!
