By far the most common type of truck you will find in Palmdale are the 2019 LNG Autocar ACX Amreps. Of the 14 operated by Waste Management of Antelope Valley, 10 of them operate in Palmdale at least 2 days of the week.
Being very saturated with these trucks, basically every house in the city has one of these vehicles regularly collecting one of its 3 carts. My route however, is a particular hotspot with all 3 streams collected by them. 106329 for recycle, 106333 for greenwaste and 106334 for trash.
Here is 106329 and 106334 on my route, 106333 probably also would’ve had a segment here but it hasn’t worked here in awhile due to its driver unfortunately being on injury relief. Hopefully he gets better soon! Most of the time a random driver is repositioned to do the yardwaste. In the case of this past week it was split up and my portion was done by Jerry in 106641. Anyways to the two featured.
You’ve seen 329 here several times before, while certainly not the fastest of these Autocars I like it’s unique paint job. It’s also one of the most reliable vehicles in the yard so it’s been here pretty much every Friday of it’s life. In contrast we have David with 106334, which has been acting better. 334 gave some pretty nice slams and David is always a lot of fun to watch. They recently added about 400 stops to David’s Friday route giving him a total of about 1200 stops now. This puts him still within standard route size however 334’s cylinders aren’t the best so he has to manually pack to make it fit sometimes. Hopefully they give it a new set of cylinders soon or at least flush them out. Other than that David says the truck works fine. Nice to see it’s worked out for him considering it had been ditched by two drivers beforehand.
Having filmed both vehicles on their first weeks of service I have to say it’s pretty wild knowing they will be turning 5 years old this year. 106334 was delivered in June 2019 and 106329 a little later in August 2019. These vehicles were the ones responsible for killing off the last of the LE Amreps, hard to believe how long ago that was.
Thanks to Luis and David for letting me film!
