And for the record I have a 5 cent tip of the day too. Always look over your shoulder in case the concrete inspector is lurking around waiting to catch you turning the water valve on...
Hey mate... Aussie here. Whats the temp there your guys are batching and pouring in? Looks bloody cold. I am new to the Agi driving role. Carpenter by trade and trying something different.
well in this video it was +1 so above freezing but depending on where there pouring depends on whether we pour or not. We can pour in -10 or colder depends on if the forms or houses... are heated or not. but concrete will freeze if its not covered and heated, we also use hot water in the winter time. Hope that helps, how you like the job?
What’s the least hours you would work in the slow season and how long does it usually last I’m starting at SRM in a few days first time ever doing ready mix
In Saint John NB, full time person might get 20-30hrs in the winter. Someone just starting out might 8-16hrs or none at all. Depends on how busy it is. What Province or State are you in and is it a big city?
I’m located in Richmond, Virginia. I’m currently working at a papermill called westrock top pay there is 37 which could possibly take years to reach it being that everything is based off seniority. But I prefer being a truck driver to make a living being that it’s something I love. I see that SRM says it’s no top out in pay which caught my attention. Last year I made 70k working in the mill so I’m kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place! Any advice for a young man? And could I make a lot of money being a ready mix driver?
amen on automatics lol love that I have one too
Nice what kind of truck?
