Adventures with Bill: The Sequel to Bill Goes to Torrance

After I finished capturing that beautiful STAGG FL, and had collected my roommates rent check, which was much less than what it should have been, I ventured into residential central of Northwestern Torrance to see what was there to be seen. I was expecting to capture some footage of RL's. As of now I haven't yet captured a RL, so I was hoping to pop my "rear loader cherry" when I was surprised to be greeted by a Heil Formula 7000 with that funky grabber! This was the first time I had a chance to see one in person so I was really pleased!

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.

[shadofax96]

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

@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?

[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.

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

[Bdeta88]

Calmet does Wilmington.

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.
