Cleanliness

Ok so it might be a garbage truck, but who said you shouldn’t keep it clean? This is one of those drivers who doesn’t give a shit about his machine and takes no pride in his job, being the kind of worker who wouldn’t last long if I was his boss. For a start, I don’t know how an operator manages to get this much rubbish wrapped around the lifter, plus all the stuff which falls behind it and gradually gets squashed over the slide beam. Secondly, it doesn’t take long to remove a little bit of garbage which might get caught during the shift, especially when you get paid a bonus which covers the task of keeping your truck clean. Ironically, the back of the engine on this truck caught fire due to a build-up of plastic and paper behind the cab, so you’d think that would stimulate some brain cells to keep rubbish clear of all areas excluding the body and hopper insides. Sadly the other drivers I work with aren’t a great deal better with crap also littered around the lifter, over the hopper edge and ladder, behind the cab, etc... drivers don’t even have the level of care to remove tree branches which get clipped by the truck. I’ve got nothing positive to say on the company’s part either, because management is plain negligent for not inspecting the equipment and ensuring drivers are doing what they’re supposed to.
