What to Look for When Buying a Garbage Truck

- Body capacity — measured in cubic yards; rear-loader bodies range from 16 to 25 CY
- Packer plate mechanism — controls compaction ratio; higher compaction = fewer trips to dump
- Chassis type — low-cab-forward (LCF) designs like Mack LR and Peterbilt 520 improve visibility and are preferred for residential
- Powertrain — CNG (compressed natural gas) and electric options are increasingly common for municipal fleets
- Transmission — Allison automatic is standard for the frequent stop-and-go of collection routes
