He launched his ambush at around 11.15am on March 21, 2023.
Dashcam evidence reveals Corden pulling a lollipop school crossing sign from the boot of his car and smashing up the lorry in his brutal attack.
Seconds later he is seen with three other thugs armed with an axe, sledgehammer and gun.
A binman hides inside the vehicle, as the gang begin beating up another employee.
The group can be seen shattering the bin lorry windows with their weapons.
After the dashcam footage cut off, a gun shot could be heard.
It is understood the horrific incident was sparked after a different bin lorry nearly smashed into Corden’s Vauxhall Corsa.
Incensed with road rage, Corden rallied the trio who unknowingly went after another crew.
Their victims, who were unaware of the near smash, were assaulted in what is understood to have been a case of mistaken identity.
Corden, 29, Jack Spackman, 25, and Kyle Worthington, 21 appeared Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court this week.
The court heard three binmen were injured, with one hospitalised needing treatment for his face, head and leg.
Corden admitted two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent.
He also pleaded guilty to two charges of wounding with intent, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, damaging property, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
Spackman pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent, possession of an offensive weapon in public and criminal damage.
Worthington accepted charges of conspiring to cause grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
Spackman and Worthington are due to be sentenced on February 7.
Corden’s basis of plea hasn’t been accepted by the prosecution so his case could be adjourned.
All three men are remanded in custody.
