Seen here are a total of 3 different Labrie Expert 2000 manual side load garbage trucks, each sitting on a Peterbilt 320 cab and chassis. While each of the three trucks feature the same basic body/chassis combination, each is configured uniquely to each other. The first is seen here collecting residential recycling. It has been outfitted with a custom compartment behind the hopper, in the front part of the body for separate collection of glass bottles and jars. The second is setup to a standard configuration and is seen here handling residential compost. The third and final one was spotted on an overnight downtown route, collecting commercial recycling. It has been fit with a similar compartment for glass as the first truck, only this one is set in front of the hopper, and the glass is stored in a chamber in the top part of the hopper. Manual side loaders have always been my very favorite style of collection truck, and it was a lot of fun catching these on route! I hope you all enjoy this video!
I would also like to take a moment to extend a huge thank you to each of these drivers for allowing me to shoot some video of their trucks, while they worked hard to keep the city clean!
