The refuse vehicle also includes a mount coupled to the frame member and extending from a front portion of the frame member, the mount having a receiver extending laterally along the mount, and a cab movably coupled to the frame member and the mount. The cab includes a cab frame member, a cab cross-member coupled to the cab frame member and extending laterally from the cab frame member, and a brace coupled to the cab frame member.
