Brand New Garbage Truck! City of Houston New Way Sidewinder

After sending 2 million (typically worn out) McNeilus AutoReach garbage trucks a week to pick up heavy loads of trash and delayed recycling, the City finally decided to take a slight change of pace.

About a month ago, the city purchased this Sidewinder from Texas Pack and Load, and I gotta say it looks incredible in Houston blue! Very glad they gave Peterbilt another shot as well for the first time in a decade. Like most new units, the arm is super smooth and body has that shine all around. The driver said although Autocars have more in-cab space, he does enjoy driving on the right side. So far, this truck is being sent to different yards every couple of weeks for drivers to get a feel for it. As far as I know there are plans to purchase more, but until then, enjoy this video of Houston’s new ride!

Huge thanks to Antonio for being the chillest and allowing me to record his awesome truck in action! Hope you find this video!
