@willDANCEforPENNIES The engine is a Cummins, and if you apply with a trash company like this one seen in this video, it all depends on what you get assigned. What he is doing is a commercial run. That is where some of your stops might be a piece of cake to where all you do is drive the truck and work the forklift from inside the cab. Some stops, you have to get out of the truck and yes, into weather to get your dumpster, tip it, and put it back.
They are 'bear proof' lids. You open the smaller lid, which has a latch under the handle that must be pushed in, in order to put garbage inside. Typically, the bears aren't supposed to be able to figure that part out, I assume. If the bear tips the can over, the angle of the lid makes it tend to stay shut - maybe...
These are 'bear proof' bins, with smaller inside lids that require you to depress a latch under the lift handle before they will open.
The main surface of the lids is slanted, so that if a bear tips the can over, it will wedge against the ground, and hopefully stay shut, even if it isn't locked. How well this works in actual practice, I have no idea.
I know that the truck is about two years old, but I'll have to check the plate on the door for the exact year. It's an Autocar, which I understand is really a Volvo. Same cab, different name. The packer body is a Leach - 40 yd.
Ooo I believed I forget my spectacles almost....

who makes the engine? And is emptying dumpsters your only job, or do you have to do residential trash pickup too? I've always wanted this job...
