The daily wheelie

...Did I really forget to upload this???
This is my collegue Ib, who usually drive the food waste containers.
He is one of those rolloff drivers who almost gets a daily wheelie. When I kindly asked if I could record it for YouTube, he said like "Of course, everybody else have, I bet I'm all over the internet already!"
I have another clip of another driver doing the same, don't know when I'll get it uploaded though.
There are two main reasons why it's a bit slow: the sensor on his extendable rear bumper plays a trick due to wear and tear, and he usually stops in "mid-air" to make sure "the audience" can see the front wheels off the ground.


...Hey, I'm impressed - online for 7 minutes, and already a 5-star rating! Thanks to the anonymous viewer!

Happy new year to you as well..Not to get off on the wrong foot here i was just saying cab overs just never look good..no matter how much chrome lights are whatever you put on them..see me i rather back up 87 times to get my truck in the spot..then drive a cab over..also i drive a show truck all year round it brings in business and people are happy to see it and admire what a great looking truck the company owns..i have won 5 trophies and many other awards..

You should see one place I got. I have to choose if I want to go in front of the car or behind it. There's no room for both (and no, I'm not THAT fat!)

If I had just one foot of hood, I'd need a crane to get it out.

Cab over trucks suck.. they do wheelies with like 2tons on the back..and they kill your back bouncing like a retard all day..they have no good looks..i cant drive cab overs..i have to have a goodlooking truck..

Nice to see your positive mind in writing.

I feel it hoods suck, because you'll be like 3 yards into the road crossing before you can see if anything comes from the side. Cabover cabins are available with different kinds of suspension, and as you can see in some of my vids, the adresses in old cities do not always provide room for a hood. It's only the kid continent across the Atlantic that hasn't grown up yet.

And a happy new year to you too.
