As a former Sanitation Engineer-Garbage Man if you prefer, ALL garbage trucks in North America with right hand controls MUST by law have left hand controls as the primary driving position.
The ONLY time a garbage truck can be driven on the right side is when actually picking up garbage and not exceeding 30 M.P.H.
This law also applies to street sweepers.
I actually picked up several loads of shred in a friend's garbage truck (side loader) and it packed it in very well I got 14 tons per load average.
