The job of a waste collection manager is complex. Making sure crews and trucks are safely collecting waste efficiently is a priority. Operators have to balance legal compliance and duty-of-care issues while maintaining high levels of service. Overloading makes a vehicle unstable and increases stopping distances. Tyres can overheat and fail, and it causes excessive wear to the road surface. Braking and drive systems, running gear and suspension systems become worn-out prematurely reducing the life of the truck and can cause a catastrophic failure.
