I chatted with a friend who used to be a garbage man in a mid-sized west coast city. Most drivers in our area have a daily route, and when they are done, they are done, but paid for the whole's day work.

So they have an incentive to floor the throttle, and slam the brakes. The drivers don't pay for fuel or brake pads out of their salary, the company does, but if they drive like a maniac, they can finish a few hours earlier.

Are accelerometer logs widespread now? Even with 100 USD phone hardware, companies could check drivers are not causing too much wear or causing disomfort to passengers.

Probably not on the radar for many waste companies and municipalities. I'm pretty sure the passengers won't complain, either.
