Last October I took a drive over to Seal Beach to film what Consolidated uses to collect on the alley routes. At first I assumed that they used a smaller McNeilus rear loader that I had seen pictures of online. It turns out, this truck is actually sent into those narrow alleys throughout the southern part of the city. Since I hadn't gotten a new camera still, I used the same spare camera I filmed a portion of my last two MCSD roaring diesel videos. This is a McNeilus front loader on an Autocar WXLL chassis, one of a few that are still left in the Consolidated colors. At first I couldn't read the driver's name tag and thought it said "Goodman" or something. Later I was told his name is Tarell. The crew does a load of trash first and then comes back to pick up the recycling. Tarell said that he probably would take a rear loader into these alleys, but he's only certified to drive commercial trucks. He's also a relief driver who was filling in for the regular crew on this route.
