Adventures with Bill: The Sequel to Bill Goes to Torrance

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

these are the trucks i use to see in 1997 here in los angeles. they were green. and i think they are retired since 1999.

[TrashKid63]

i like the way the truck`s arms have to curve sideways to grab the Toter

[Bdeta88]

Calmet does Wilmington.

[3amrepmike3]

Is Torrence's whole asl fleet made up of Peterbilt/F7000? Or do they have a few random bodies/chassis mixed in? I know there buying brand new cng Peterbilt 7000s now.

[jacobmorell]

my dad works there hes been doing that for 27 years

[Skyes9]

i just love the way the grabbers fold up like that.

[Bdeta88]

But LA owned replicas of these. I remember in the late 90's a large chuncck of the fleet that operated in the Hollywood area was trucks identical to this one. If Torrance does not buy used trucks and you're certain, then I would say hese trucks can't be those trucks.

[xUNKNOWNxAC94]

@Bdeta88 i have a picture of the L.A. heils but i want to know where are all the retired ones. do u know so i can check them out?

[shadofax96]

@xUNKNOWNxAC94 There is an former LA Heil now owned by EDCO that has been put out to pasture at the Aqua Mansa yard in Riverside

[dodgerfan95]

those are not old L.A. city trucks not even close .those are torrance, california trucks and they dont buy used trash trucks

[Bdeta88]

This truck looks like an exact replica of an ex LA City truck. Now those are supposed to be at a junkyard, but I have a hunch this could be one of thsose trucks. Odd thing is that this truck has a fuller hopper, while LA trucks generally have a clear hopper.

[amrepmike33]

was the RL you were looking for on a standard residential route or was it on bulk pick up?

[Trashdude220]

Great video, Shadofax. Heil Formula 7000s are hard to find these days.

[amrepmike33]

in my opinion there one of if noe heils best asl! ive never had the privilage to see on in person but they look good from what i can see!

[TrashMonkey22]

The good ol' Heil DuraPack 7000...In my opinion it's Heil's best ASL...you get the high-compaction DuraPack body, with a well-built arm...True, the arm doesn't have the longest reach in the world, but the 7000 arm will outlast any Python arm...

[amrepmike33]

true

it also has very little swing out and some kick ass grbbers lol

[TrashMonkey22]

Yeah, no shit there Mike!

[nike56julian]

how come at 2;40 he picks up the green bin but not the black one

[amrepmike33]

he picked up the black one then backed up for the grey one because of what was in it

[Trashman242]

Nice, smooth action here! Glad you finally got to see a Form. 7000 in person! They look pretty nice on Petes! Weird sound to the engine!

[trashmaster684]

no recycling or the contents in the black bin go to a mrf also what kind of truck picks up the gray bin

[amrepmike33]

from wat ive heard it a amrep but im not sure

[amrepmike33]

did anyone else notice how the curverature of the claw fits perfectly around the toters

[ThaThunderStorm]

wow, she looks like a 31yd, nice findBill

[r6man2]

What kind of RLs? Great Vid!

[shadofax96]

I think they are Heils, but I could be wrong, it's been a while since I've seen one.

[trashmaster684]

Nice finds man 5 stars and favorite

[julianramos5625]

how come the guy picks up the green when he is supossed to pick up the black one

[gtpmike2000]

nice work Bill and love the truck nice combo

[chillin626]

great vid! does the same truck collect the gray toters??

[garbageboycd]

That would be the amrep asl's job!

[chillin626]

amrep asl! would love to see that..

[MitchellM15]

Congrats on the findings! Love them, particularly this rig. Find that old type of grabber interesting, great job! Definitely a fav and feature vid!

[stuntedcards]

sure is alot of grass clippings mixed in the trash

[LUISP1957]

i thought wm and calmet did torrance! nice

[shadofax96]

Nope, WM does Manhattan Beach, Carson and Wilmington (I think), and Calmet does Lomita.
