Here we have a truck I was super excited to film and and been searching for for a while. Kimble got couple CCC rear loaders in last year, but I had no luck finding them. It makes sense, seeing as the Battle/CCC factory is literally a stone's throw from Kimble HQ. Then this year I saw they had one of these at Waste Expo. They were hard to come by, but credit to Buckeye State Solid Waste for tracking one down in South Euclid. I had to go up that way for something, so I made it a point to stop and check the truck out. This truck was about 4 months old at the time of the video.
Interestingly, you will notice these trucks are right side only instead of dual drive. The driver said that takes some getting used to for sure. Overall he is pretty happy with it, he likes the speed and the fact that you can comfortably sit and work. It is fairly roomy all things considered and does what it needs to do. From a right side setup, it blows the Autocars they have been buying out of the water. I was impressed with the unit and can see Battle becoming an even more prominent player in the industry as Mack, Autocar, and the like struggle to meet demand.
A big thanks to the driver John for making this video possible. He is a 20 year industry veteran and a real pro!
