Some Fast Old Diesels

ESD is a no nonsense operation. Drivers set out with one thing in mind, and that's to get the trash picked up. Nothing fancy, nothing extra. Automated done the way it was envisioned from day one. As such it has definitely become one of my favorite cities to see on video.

Here is a compilation of some of the faster trucks Ive run across in recent years. Yes, despite the stereotype of idle operations, a lot of drivers do revv at ESD. Or, they did anyway. The vast majority of, if not every single truck in this video have already been auctioned off & many of their newest Peterbilts are fast enough at idle that you don't even need to worry about that anymore.

If you're a fan of automation, you're going to enjoy this video for sure.
