Ahead of the Curve
We purchase the most modern, state-of-the-art equipment available in order to serve you better and give you the competitive rates and great service you deserve.
- Pride owns and maintains a fleet of over 40 trucks which are some of the most sophisticated on the road today. We have trucks suited for every type of collection and hauling that we do.
- Pride was one of the first haulers in Washington County to fully automate solid waste collection. From inside the cab, each driver controls the mechanical arm that reaches out, picks up, and dumps the curbside roll carts.
- There are five different computer systems onboard these trucks. They run everything from transmissions and engines to a mobile recording system that requires 2 GPS units. Routeware® system tells our drivers exactly what and where the next pick-up is, replacing paper route sheets with electronic data now fed directly to our office software.
- For safety and better customer service, four video cameras using Safety Vision® are mounted on the exterior of each truck with a driver monitor. One camera is aimed toward the collection area, one at the truck's blind spot, one at the rear, and one looks in the hopper to spot contaminants. What the camera views is digitally recorded for future reference.
- Since 2006, we have been using bio-fuels to operate all of our vehicles and equipment.
- The compaction bodies on our trucks use some of the same electronics and hydraulic controls that are used in the F-16 jets.
- Our vehicles operate with synthetic Hydrotex® Hydrosynthetic™ fluids and food-grade lubricants to eliminate known carcinogens, substantially reduce harmful exhaust emissions, increase fuel economy, increase the life and performance of our engines, and conserve valuable natural resources.
