Here's a truck anyone can enjoy. Even if you hate automation, just close your eyes and listen! Big thanks to the driver for letting us film. This was as much as we could get before he finished route. Easily my favorite City of LA truck I've filmed, just would have liked to have gotten a lot more video of it.
Little fun fact about this truck and many, if not all the "Volvos" LA has/had until recently. They're actually WhiteGMCs. Yup, made in 1994 and given full restorations in '03 I believe it was. New body, new grille, new paint, the whole nine yards. Thankfully they left the original L10 Cummins in it though, because it sounds fantastic. That growl never gets old! This truck, nicknamed "Train", was retired in late 2012 along with most of the identical units. I think some remain as spares, but I cant say for certain.
