@@ixyzyxiyes but because european roads are narrower, you make your trucks narrower too. Especially when it comes to trucks servicing the dense urban areas, they can be tiny and they would use the different loading mechanisms. It would be however ridiculous to change the entire garbage truck fleet to smaller and narrower trucks (requiring more trips and/or drivers as they would have less capacity) just to service the wide enough driveways that are narrow just because of some people parking illegally.
@@ixyzyxi this isn't the Netherlands. I'm not sure if you've been the US but we have very wide roadways. We have very large trucks. There's not enough room to safely navigate a dump truck around those beater vehicles and it's not worth the risk.
There’s enough room lol I drive trash trucks and we’ll just not do some bc we don’t wanna lol we still get paid so does the company we just take pictures and move on
I'm a truck driver. Who is responsible if i accidentally hit your parked car? If a kid runs across behind me while I'm backing up and the car blocks my view? Doesn't matter if there's technically room for the truck. I'm the one liable, I'm the one assessing the situation, I'm not taking unnecessary risk in a situation that can so simply be avoided. And you don't get to tell me what to do when you carry zero liability if things go wrong.
To close don't give in no parking is needed...plus if that truck driver hits a car then it goes automatically suspended and drug testing and law suits get started...
Regardless of whether or not they could do it its. Private property and there is no parking signs making that ur right to tow those cars I agree with you 100%
Most of those trucks have sensors that’ll stop the vehicle from moving if it gets too close to something. So yeah, definitely possible that if a car is parked there, it can’t get down it or back out of there. Regardless, if the policy says no parking, there’s no parking.
Well, it doesn't matter if a car can technically squeeze by. There should be sufficient clearance for potential emergency vehicles to access, and not have the fire dept. or whatever slowed down, cause they have to suddenly tow someone. It's the same thing with people that park right on street-corners, or like, inches from a ramp over a sidewalk. The test isn't "can a sedan with a skilled driver get by", it's "can the fire dept. get by in a rush."
Looks like there's enough space to squeeze a truck like that by if there's one car parked there, but that's besides the point, they're simply not supposed to be parking there because it makes the truck driver's job much harder than it needs to be, end of story.
Getting in would not be that difficult, the truck would have to be careful, but backing up is a whole different thing. I drove a large vehicle, like delivery box truck large. Backing up in those things is essentially blind, side mirrors only. Regardless of if the trash truck can get in and out with the car there, your rules say no parking. The argument ends there. Your property, your rules, on your contracted lease. Period.
There are a lot of blind spots on that trash truck. He may at best have 25%of rear visibility. Could he technically fit maybe but it would definitely be a struggle for the driver.
Yeah it looks like you could have made it with the van there but why risk it for no reason and then have to get in a lot of trouble if you accidentally do hit that car
Ok…. I’ve been driving these trucks for 15 years. There is absolutely enough room to get by cars at the end. little tight on the initial approach having to swing wide and come into the driveway. Have to be careful some of these driveways because if you’re driving a 60,000 pound truck on the edge of the curb, it’s possible you could damage somebody’s driveway. Nonetheless, there is plenty of room to get by that and I fight around vehicles like this all day long. To all the other truck drivers out there, if you can’t make it by that vehicle to get a 6 yard stab at the end of the driveway, you need to start questioning your career choice.
