Terrific post, gotta love that slam the arm makes against the body after being raised completely, I'm sure that alone would make this a fun truck to follow. It may just be me, but does the arm occasionally have problems lowering after that 'slam' I referred to, in which case he extends then retracts to sort of help it out?? Or does he do that entirely to help empty the bin like other drivers?
Also, just wondering, was the driver by any chance wearing shirt/tie?? Almost looked like it lol!! Executive manager, drivers the truck for fun hahaha!
One other question (last one--sorry!), why do you say this would be identical to an old DART? Not sure I understand...
Now that I'm done...awesome units vid, certainly a fav with 20 stars :D
i dunno bout the other questions because YT wont let me watch this video for some reason, but what Mitch means by identical to the old DART, is that the design (exterior) of the body and the exterior of the hopper area are identical to the old DART's :) if you get that lol.
Yeh I loved that forceful smash upon raising! Guarantees nothing will get stuck :) It's caused because the arm's wobbly and contacts the top/side of the hopper entrace... then the lip of the bin gets stuck, which is why he extends+retracts to release. When I videoed it a month later it was all fixed up as you'll see in the bottles video when I upload it.
lol That's one of the uniforms URM has available to wear on route, deceicing hey? hehe I'd prefer the fluoro shirt though.... suits the job =] Like Shando said, when I say the DART body is similar to this, I refer to the exterior design features - basically identical. If you want I can send you a pic of a DART to compare with this truck and you'll definitely see what I mean. Thanks for the comment and no probs about the questions :)
Well good thing they fixed it, but I'm glad you got it on film when it was like this though haha--entertaining to watch! Hmm, I'd appreciate the pics if it's not too much trouble, would help me see the similarities I guess, or else maybe you could just mention what's unique about the body exterior on this/DART vs. newer MJ ASLs..? Thanks for the answers Shando/Mitch!

Really glad the driver moved that cart at 1:25... would have been bad if he took that line down. Great catch!
