Garbage Trucks at Night!

While most of us are used to seeing garbage trucks roaming the streets during the daytime, many big cities start collections during the overnight hours in busy commercial areas to beat the heavy daytime traffic. Seen here is a taste of what these overnight collections are like in Portland, OR. In order of appearance you will see:

-Autocar ACX - McNeilus Pacific Front Loader
-Volvo Xpeditor WXLL - Heil Formula 4000 Rear Loader
-Peterbilt 320 - Chagnon Sprinter Rear Loader
-Autocar ACX - McNeilus Pacific Series Front Loader (CNG)
-Mack MR - New Way Mammoth Front Loader
-Freightliner FL-80 - Amrep Manual Side Loader
-Peterbilt 320 - Leach Alpha Rear Loader
-Peterbilt 320 - Labrie Expert 2000 Manual Side Loader
-Volvo Xpeditor WX64 - New Way Mammoth Front Loader

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the drivers of each of these trucks for allowing me to shoot some video of their trucks while they worked hard to keep the city clean!
