Does not matter if they are new or old trucks. None can be taller than 13 feet, six inches while underway.
Sometimes the operator of these front fork dumpster trucks get in a hurry and move when the dumpster dumping forks are not in the down postition.

Pensacola doesn’t have the new gas trucks. Our trucks come out of Milton which has not changed over yet.

This is a dumpster truck they start rolling at about midnight,notice the lift.If you look close you will see a row of mailboxes at this location there is a dumpster at the end of this driveway that these residents share,there is no turn around its a dead in,that’s why he backed out.

If it is one of the newer natural gas trucks, they are taller than the old trucks. There have been a few times that I have heard of them hitting low lines with the new trucks.

in the picture I see a “waste management” truck. Maybe the guy was on his way to work? Do garbage truck drivers take their vehicles home with them? It stated he was back out of a driveway, I’ve never seen garbage men pull up in a driveway to get trash (if that is part of their protocol I am unaware of it, I only know what I see when the trucks are in my neighborhood)
