If you know anything about Nascar you know that a race can be won or lost in the pits. A car comes in an get 4 new tires, a tank of fuel, chasis adjustments, window cleaned and water for the driver. All this happens in 14 secs or less. That is fast!!
Well this holds no comparision to my parents trashman. This guy must have a huge route. But you can hear the roar of the trash truck coming down the road. I will now attempt to annouce the stop like a Nascar announcer.
Well it has been a so...so day for the CWI trash truck. He really needs every pit to count if he plans to end the day on a good note. Here he comes down pit lane at 60 mph. Now 15 feet from his stop he hits the brakes and without lockin' it up he comes to a stop. But before the truck has come to a stop he is already out of the truck. He runs over and with one hand grabs the trash can. This looks like a one can stop for the CWI team. With the other hand he grabs the lever that smashes the trash. Tossing the trash in a the exact time he hits the lever. Time is everything when you are the fastest trash pickup man in the western part of the state. Then with out care he flings the empty trash can and it's lid in the nearby ditch while he is running to the truck. He then slams it in drive and he is off (lid from trash can still spinning) . This was a 13 second stop. What an amazing display of speed and skill folks.
And that in a nutshell is our CWI trash man. It is almost scary how fast this actually happens. I hope to someday have actual pictures of this event unfolding. My brother was at the house yesterday to witness this even. He was like me. That was AWESOME!!!!!
I will get pitures and post them of this crazy event. Until next time...stay classy Murray.
