Waste Management's New Way Volvo FE6 Rear Loader on Commercial Trash Route, 8-18-11

On a late Thursday noon at 12:49pm when I was about to leave the gym to head home, saw this rare old rearload trash pup truck of a New Way rearload body on a rare Volvo FE6 chassis. So as I decided to U-Turn & go after it, caught it on a commercial trash run. For those of you that remembered, this was the same guy that operated on the brand new FreightlinerM2/McNeilus M5 rearloader I caught a year ago on commercial & residential trash route here in Sarasota, FL where I live!!! But, his truck broke down, so he was stuck with this!!! Considering the fact that the pack cycle on this truck was slow, I still felt it was worth the catch since it was the 1st time me seeing a New Way rearloader in action!!!!! This truck I believe is powered by Volvo's D7-235 mid diesel with 235hp backed by an Allison MD3060 automatic transmission.

Note: I will still be geting more of these different rearloader pup trucks in action here mainly on commercial trash routes when I get the chance!! & special thanks for him allowing me to get this rare rearload beast in action!!!!

Well New Way was just in business in like 2004 so the body can't be THAT old, so IDK why the packer sucks balls. Definitely an oldie though. And small lol. Looks like a one man truck too. Awesome job finding this and filming it!

@legodude24652 Thanks! Small RELs here are very comon for some smal commercial busineses that choose regular trashcan & cart services where large RELs aren't needed. But they're also used as backup truck for residential trash runs when a large REL breaks down & yeah, I was disapointed bout the pac cycle. Could've ben caused by worn out pistons frm da carrier plates or wet trash slush geting into the pistons from packed out cycles.

I have a couple questions - why do they use such small trucks for commercial routes? I love spares- they are old and fun to watch! Thank you for posting!

@r6man2 Most of the commercial trash here is collected by frontloaders. But there're some small commercial busineses that choose to use trashcan services with optional cart service. Since most residential trash here is collected by larger rearloaders & the volume of these small commercial routes aren't heavy, a small rearloader known as a pup truck is more suitable.

@legodude24652 Wow, wow, wow easy killer. New Way has been in business for a while. Look at Albuquerque's trucks. Those are 2003s!

nice video

[JaccobDalton]

Excellent footage! loved the driving shots where the truck was just driving in, and such. Disappointment from New Way having the packer slower than a Leach, but it's probably older than me anyways..

packer could be a little faster. still, that's one neat little truck. I don't even think I'll be seeing anymore Volvo FE's in person anymore. great vid.
