Out of the current McNeilus front loader product line, my absolute favorite by a long shot is the relatively new Meridian model! The combination of sleek, lightweight, almost futuristic design characteristics accented with the harsh lines seen on the bodies of yesteryear made for a design that had instant visual appeal to me! And now having gotten to see several different configurations in person has only further cemented my admiration for this unique body!
Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to catch a McNeilus Meridian, configured with roof-mounted CNG tanks and paired up with a Peterbilt 320 cab & chassis, handling a commercial recycling route! As if the truck itself isn't cool enough, the route also consisted of a wide variety of interesting and unique containers as well, made even cooler with the addition of electric blue lids! Overall, this was a really fun truck to watch, and a really fun route to film on! I hope you all enjoy watching this truck as much as I did!
Also, keep an eye out for the clips of this truck's identical twin handling a commercial garbage stop!
As always, a huge thank you goes out to this outstanding driver!
