Happy New Year everyone! Here we are in 2018 already and it's hard to believe that it's already been a year since my last visit to California! For my next installment from that adventure, we have a truly legendary SoCal combo - the formidable Peterbilt 310 cab and chassis with the rough and rugged Amrep Octagonal Side Loader body. This iconic pairing dominated many municipal and private haulers' transition to automated collection in the 1990's. Today, very few 310's are left roaming the sunny streets of Southern California, and even the "Octo Body" isn't quite as ubiquitous as it was even just 10 years ago. It was a real treat getting to see not one, but two of these beasts beautifully preserved and still knocking back route for Burrtec of Riverside! I would have especially loved to get more footage of 3269, but unfortunately we caught it at the very end of its route in far less than ideal weather, so the three clips at the end of this video were all I was able to get.
Thanks again to everyone for watching and I look forward to what 2018 brings for us here in the waste enthusiast community!
