Here it is! The ex LA Peterbilt American Vehicles Incorporated (AVI) from Superior Sanitations. Before Superior Sanitation acquired the AVI, another company Hawaiian Roll Off (not Rolloffs Hawaii) in Kona, purchased the AVI and an ex SCD Amrep Octo for their commercial route. Hawaiian Roll Off sold those routes and trucks to Superior Sanitation but remain in business for Roll Offs. The AVI is still in Hawaiian Roll Off colors when the video was filmed. I was informed by the owner Mike, that they purchased paint for the AVI and it will be repainted in Superior Sanitation colors soon.
I found the AVI on its cardboard route in Kona. The driver, Rich, could not have been more friendly and he told me many stories about the AVI. First, he told me how the AVI is everyones favorite truck and how it is tough, fast and rarely ever has any problems. Rich went on to tell me how the owner Mike, made some modifications to the AVI. First, he raised the cab cover so when they service the Peterbilt, they do not have to raise the AVI body. The AVI also used to be a stand up truck with right hand drive, so they took a Peterbilt door off another truck and modified the right hand side with a new seat and door to make it easier and safer for the helper. Rich even called Mike to tell him about me and they invited me to their yard. This AVI is incredibly loud, sounds great and it has a classic early 90's truck sound, especially in regards to the brakes and revving. I made sure to zoom in on the LA green bleeding out, especially the inside of the hopper that was never painted. Rich gave the AVI some pretty loud revs in this video and you will see this truck scream in part 2!
I hope everyone enjoys this video. There will be a part 2 with a major surprise in regards to the AVI and something that nobody has recorded an AVI doing. If anyone travels to Kona and wants to find the AVI, I strongly encourage you to. When I filmed the AVI it worked Mondays and Thursdays and was a spare the rest of the week.
That brief clip at the beginning was at a rare black sand beach. This black sand beach with turtles is located at Punalu'u black sand beach park.
Thank you Superior Sanitation, Rich, the helper, and the owner Mike. Superior Sanitation is a great company and on top of that Mike and all the drivers are incredibly friendly.

From what I've seen, it looks like they run all unmarked large SUV's similar to this Ford Expedition for motor carrier enforcement. There are other marked vehicles but I have never seen one with a commercial truck - it's always these unmarked ones.

Jackson, NJ just recently took delivery of this beast of a Pete equipped with a 75000 lb. American roll-off hoist. Note the tarper system and twin beacons with guards.
This is the set back front axle version of the model 367 Pete. It is also ordered with the front frame extension and stationary grill options for winter plow service. Note the plow lights mounted on the hood sides.
One of J.R.M Hauling and Recycling many Mack Granite rolloff trucks. This was the 12th truck bought in 2012.
Walters is a local company that has been in the portable toilet business for decades, but in the last few years expanded to rolloff service as well. With their on call service, same day service, great prices, and professionalism, they have stormed the local market, being a preferred choice by contractors and businesses. They have 2 or 3 new Mack Granites they run all over, and apparently either ones been down for awhile, or business is booming, because they’ve been running this Premier Rentals Kenworth T880 around for a few days now.
Pretty dope, eh?
