Route drivers share why Johnny Jaws feels safer than riding on the back of a rear-load truck.
Why These Drivers Feels Safer with Johnny Jaws
Driver safety is one of the biggest reasons fleets are looking at Johnny Jaws. This video catches a driver in the middle of a real mixed-route test at an apartment complex. He's running a front-load truck with Johnny Jaws on metal rear-load dumpsters, and he's asked how the route felt and what stood out.
His answer keeps coming back to safety. He doesn't have to get out of the cab, climb onto the back of the truck, or mess with the handles while cars are flying past. The job that usually takes 30 minutes got done in 15, but it's the safety side he focuses on. As he puts it, "safety-wise, this is an excellent pick."
If your route mixes front-load and rear-load stops, hearing the safety case straight from a driver tells you more than any spec sheet.
