Well here is everybody's favorite Portland garbage man! Simon recently took a 1 am commercial route in Portland (I thought he was crazy haha) but with the crappy hours came this really slick truck! PDR is absolutely fantastic at buying new which is really nice for any driver who likes comfort, safety, and (sometimes) reliability. Here you can see Simon on his Thursday route knocking out a variety of carts as well as 1-2 YD dumpsters. Lots of respect to this guy, would not want to do these hours!
Thanks to Simon for letting me tag along that day!

I loved the 1am start times. No traffic, only people running were garbage guys and delivery trucks. Gotta deal with the homeless, but most of the time they left ya alone

At least on the upside, there is little to no traffic at this time of night on the way to the transfer station or the landfill once the truck gets full 😂😂😂

Crazy that the company doesn’t make him run the packer at idle. Any company around us that goes into a neighborhood for night commercial has to run it at idle or the cops will get called 3-4 times. Much respect to Simon though, 1am commercial is no joke. Hope his company does a good job compensating him for it.

Great looking truck. Wow that must big a big change for Simon (AKA Simco) to go from glass recycling during the day in a residential setting to now doing night work. I knew from his channel he made the change to rear load, but did not realize this was going to be a night shift. As you say, lots of respect to him and good on him for letting you tag along. Keep up the great work guys!

Pretty much all early morning, the latest I'm out is Monday which is my biggest day. I get off by 9:30am. Tues/Weds is typically before 8 and then Thurs/Fri I'm off before 6:30. I average only 30-34 hours a week but get paid for 40 hours. It's great

Excellent Footage! Always Nice to see him in action. Love trucks at night, especially this one with the good lighting on and around it. I especially love this style of Dumpster tippers. Hope youve had a Good 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎉🎆
