North Sydney Recycling - The Scania

Coming towards the end of my stint at URM I was kind of disappointed I never got to use one of the Scanias however, one month before my departure my full time truck broke down, needing a new tail shaft from memory, with a major delay on parts, the truck was off the road for about a month. Thus meaning I got to use this Scania/CS (I believe this was built after SPAK acquired CS) for a month, was a pretty cool experience! These trucks went pretty good for their age, this one being the better one out of the two spares at the Auburn yard, great loading on them but couldn't say the same for the driver, being a semi automatic with clutch take off it's not ideal for the start/stop on residential collections.

Here we are in Atchinson Lane St Leonards doing one of the many unit blocks along this lane. I have another short clip on garbage in this same laneway that I will upload in conjunction with this video.
