Here we have a company that I visited quite a while back, and while doing so I got to meet the owner of the company and take pictures of the fleet. More recently I was back in the area and made a point to try to stop and film here. I can't say enough good things about everyone working for this company, from the owner to the drivers, all the way down to the very friendly staff at their own transfer station. So I thank you all for that.
Little background on many of their trucks. Most, if not all of their Rapid Rails are actually ex-WMX chassis. They got a number of bodies from a nearby city who sold them off, then placed them on these early-mid 90s chassis. Many of these bodies were previously paired to Python arms, but were changed to Rapid Rails, much to my approval. They also had in the past a number of older Volvo Curbtenders too, but it would seem that those have since been retired and replaced with Automizers. You can however see them on my Flickr page from my first visit a couple years back. They also had an ex-CDS Peterbilt 320 Amrep ASL, but didn't care for the Amrep and placed one of their Rapid Rails on the 320 chassis instead. You just have to love how willing they are to completely customize everything to fit their needs. Though between you and me, I wish they'd kept the Amrep ;) And yes, the large hopper shield is a customization of theirs as well, as it's windy year 'round out here and that helps to prevent trash from blowing out when the arm is cycling.
Again I'd like to thank everyone we met here for being so welcoming and accommodating. Made for a great day!
