While on my trip a while back when looking for the CCC IRL's, I had made my way a bit further north through a couple of towns I had been curious about. But before I could even get out of the town of Gunnison where the IRL was filmed, this truck comes flying down the highway in the opposite direction! A complete surprise that made my day. Being that it was a winding 2-lane road with no shoulder and many cars, I knew that turning around was hopeless so I continued on for a bit in hopes of finding a side road, but the next road a couple minutes up was actually the first road to an entire little city, Manti City. The carts were all blank, but that's nothing unusual in Utah so I didn't confirm that this was where the CSL was running, and it also seemed odd that a CSL would run in a town that didn't have CSL dumpsters. Later I began noticing the dirt marks left on the carts by the grippers and that's what told me this had to be where it runs. To my surprise, there was still a lot of route left at nearly 2pm when I arrived. I figured it'd be hopeless to find a city run operation out past noon in a small town like this, but that wasn't the case as they actually do the entire city on Tuesday. Luck being on my side, it turned out that the landfill was right down the road and no more than 30 minutes passed before I found him picking up where he left off. And only upon seeing it on route did I notice that it was a mid-80s White, and not a Whitegmc as I'd assumed when I saw the blue badge on the highway. Unfortunately my only clip of him collecting a 300 gallon container was ruined by sudden, constant blasts of strong wind, so I didn't add that clip.
A huge thanks goes out to a very friendly driver, I had a blast getting video of your (awesome sounding) truck
Little side note, on my Socal Maxon video I had initially thought it was powered by an L10 Cummins, and was proven wrong. I do however feel a little more comfortable saying that the truck in this video sure sounds like an L10 to me. Anyone who could confirm or deny that is encouraged to let me know. Thanks for watching
Update: As of about a month after posting this video, this truck has officially been placed out of service do to a major drive train failure. Unfortunate for sure, but it makes me even happier I managed to find it when I did.
