Here we have truck 2028 helping out in Barbeton on the day before Thanksgiving. These guys came over after their route and grabbed a back down for one of the guys on a neighboring route and then grabbed some bulk and just about packed their truck out on this street. This is the second of these newer Heil/MRU rear loaders I've filmed, but this one had the original Bayne grips replaced with Perkins ones, which are infinitely better IMO. Overall they're good trucks, I just wish they could pack and run the grips at the same time like the older McNeilus units can, and I'm sort of surprised they went with 25 yarders over 32.
I'm sure many of you will recognize the guy on the back, he used to run the pack rat years ago. I couldn't help but laugh as the driver knew exactly who I was before I even pulled up, usually it's the other way around. He has actually seen most of my videos and mentioned a few in particular, so that was pretty cool. I hope he enjoys getting his 8 minutes of fame (not a 10 min video, but I got pretty close.) These guys definitely like to give each other crap and make the job enjoyable, but make no mistake about it they can sure get a route off the ground. A big thanks to both of them for making this video possible!!!
