Alternately you can search for "side load garbage truck line art" and create your own.

When you import the STL you will choose the orientation of the model and how much of it do you want to machine. You will "Discard data below zero plane".

Sketchup has this. You need to "explode" model a few times to paint with white to make it monochrome, then use "fog" to make height map. I removed the company side logo also.
