Pump jobs make life easy!
We had an easy Friday to finish off a very busy and very hot week. We poured with a landscape company, and poured concrete for two foundations. Happy Friday!
I started this channel after I began driving cement mixer trucks in Eastern Washington. As a cement mixer truck driver, I enjoy watching trucker videos but rarely came across local truck driving jobs like cement trucks, pick-up and delivery, and construction. Judging by comments and questions I’ve seen on other truck driving channels, many people don’t realize that there is a side to the trucker lifestyle other than long haul OTR driving. I am excited to bring more truck driving content to the genre. I hope you enjoy it!
Please let me know in the comments what you like, what you don’t like, and what you’d like to see more of as I continue making videos. Thanks!

Pouring curbs... All day...
มุมมอง 28K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Today we had curb jobs. Lots of curbs. Curb machines are easy in an automatic, but you still have to pay attention to your slump. If the concrete is even a little too wet, the contractors can't use the mud. So getting the water right is a must!

Mixer truck blows tire; fully loaded

    As a 38 year veteran of Chicagoland mixer driver I seen alot . Funniest was I saw a driver lift his booster wheel and grab the dust bonnet . Then, drove to the job empty . Or tried until they got him on the radio.

    Just letting you know, you need a lot a lot of sugar for 10 yards like try 5-10 of those packets, anyways you didn’t even need the sugar I drive for cemex in Arizona where it gets 120 out here, plus your mud was holding the slump so you didn’t need it

    So many questions: 1. What if it’s raining, how does the rain not affect the “slump”? 2. When you rinse it out how does it not harden and mess with the ground you are rinsing it into? 3. When the drum spins faster or slower does that affect the slump too? 4. Thank you.

      Actually it does sound different but there is a gauge that you look at that tells you what "slump" you are at. My company we also have a digital meter tells you were you are at too, easy

    • @tbone231982
      @tbone231982 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Best way is to check your slump gauge. When you hear the rocks clanging against the drum, your mix is dry. When the clanging turns into a swishing noise you're at a 5+

    Oh man,Why are they still using rear discharge mixers. We cut a half out of reg. Chute and move hangers and make curb machine chutes and send front discharge with a 1 or 1.5 inch slump. We pour all day on deep sand and other unprepared surfaces.Concete labor must be cheap there. At least you wash your fins and stuff down. U.S. concrete sent us to D.C. to help out.they never wash down on job sites. They have a little flap that’s supposed to stop chute from dripping and race back to plant wash down. I couldn’t get 10 yards in the truck without it splashing out. It needed to be chipped so bad. I guess that company is no longer in D.C. it was embarassing.
