AW 1234 (in action) Mack MR Heil FEL 3-12-10

I found Allied Waste truck 1234 again! I was trying to get video of a BFI front loader, but that truck took off about halfway across the county before I saw this one. I'm guessing the BFI truck was either done, or headed to a dump.

This Allied Waste truck is a Mack MR / Heil front loader with a pusher axle. It was see in the City of Aberdeen, MD. Unfortunately this was all the video I got of this truck, I had a lot of bad luck with trucks during this trip. I "almost" filmed probably close to a dozen trucks but traffic conditions and bad angles prevented most shots.

My most disappointing "miss" was a city of Baltimore rear loader that disappeared into traffic due to slow traffic lights slowing my progress. I'll get them next time - now I know when/where they run... =)

Thanks for watching.

Nice shot of another awesome AW truck, gotta love their neat paint jobs! At least you managed to get something, that's the bright side =]

@MitchellM15 I'll agree with that! Nothing is more frustrating that seeing trucks and coming back with nothing.

@FormerWMDriver i remeber the days of all there was here was dirty old bfi trucks when i was a kid they had everything waste management bought them out here

ya republic does that, WM does it, UPW does it. All christmas tree collection here is now boring. We used to have an old ribbed Heil FL when it was owned by Taornormina IND. They now rent out like 5 flat beds from Enterprise Rent A Truck to do each area. Republic has 6 cities they sevice here, and each city has a monday through friday collection, so theres like 30 rental trucks out.... BORING.

@trashmaster684 Yeah there's a ton of them everywhere I go. I noticed an Advanced Disposal Autocar WX / Heil FEL in Orlando the other day... hopefully I can find that truck soon.

@3amrepmike3 They use a flatbed??? Wow, that's gotta be boring to watch, too bad they don't have a rear loader or that old front loader or something... Makes me wonder how many trips that flatbed makes to unload the trees.
