When your truck gets rejected you’ll be the one bitching. Order a flowable mix if you need one. It’s so easy, but then again if you don’t know how to ask. Don’t keep going thru life trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Ignorance is bliss
Or both. Ida walked off before the first plug was cleared. No way am I raking that shit everywhere. Mixer drivers, there are some great ones, they know who they are. Then, you have the ones that cause cold joints because they're fat ass is sitting in the gas station eating, or slowing the flow of trucks down because they are gabbing. Or the ones that just don't know what in the blue fuck they are doing. Companies don't help this either, it's so hard to get warm bodies to fill the seat, that they almost help propagate the problem. No training, just "oh you have a CDL and haven't killed anyone in the last 5 months" bam! , Hired. Never seen wet concrete before? Got a CDL ? BAM ! HIRED! here's a70 thousand pound truck with a high rotating center of gravity, Show up to a jobsite where through the lack of training, you have no fucking clue where to go, what to do, then when you inevitably start getting screamed at by the finishers because now your no clue having ass is costing everyone money and time, remember to call your company and thank them for the lack of training. It's gotta be rough. Sitting in your air conditioned truck while we work our guts out. Being able to pass anything but a gas station deli. Keep whining mixer boy
Years ago I did Foundation coating and they was pouring the floor and one new driver left the water on the hole way to job site, yeah a little to wet and had to dump it on the ground.
That’s a lot of water! 😂 I had one where a finisher turned the add valve on trying to get the sprayer hose to go and didn’t turn it off. I was watching the mix get wetter and wetter on a slab until I stopped got out and like “oh shit!”…guy denied it of course and said I must have done it. Damn crackheads
Oops!! We layed block and bricks and one so called contractor poured his footers really wet he called it even flow concrete but in 20 feet we used 8" on the corner leads but in the middle my boss had me mix up and batch of mortor really stiff because we use 4" block and 2" slabs and around a 1" joint on the first course, we have never seen a footer with that much of a hump in it. We poured his footers after that.
Many factors could contrbute to this fail. What you dont see is how long was the trk on the job? Could be a high psi load. It could have an accelerator admix added to the load. Driver error (not knowing his slump,getting lost going to the job). High ambient temperature.
That is a very likely factor being that it appears to be a deck poor where is it it's a high psi usually 3000 or greater and it's possible that it contains an admix like adva which a gallon can thin the mix down equivalent to 2 gallons but will also set that mud off like a firecracker in over an hour. Often a dispatch ticketing error for sending the driver out with that kind of mix design for a ride that is so long to time it out.
Forms covers only the upper part of the slab ,in order the concrete not to run under the form they required tight mix , but not that tight. A 5" slump would be ok with a wet shute.
Rebar on the vapor barrier and wire mesh, not enough finishers, no place for the truck to discharge with enough pitch to the chute for the concrete to come down, they hadn't wet the chute down to cool it, concrete was flash setting, finishers didn't finish clearing the plug from the chute before multiple water additions. Did I miss anything?
Sloppy mixer op didn't clean his chutes before pour started. 1:50 onward: Check-out the solid dried-on stuff when the camera looks up at the mix. No wonder it didn't flow.
A lot of times when you get to the job, they are not ready, gotta wait for a tester, gotta finish with rhubarb wire, and sometimes traffic and distance, for me if I'm traveling to a job that's 30 minutes away and they want a 5, I'll take a 7 it'll work out to a 6 and if I have to wait maybe 5.5.
HA ,Argos in Port Charlotte fl .Could fuck up an orgasm. Only use them as a last resort,. Coast concrete isn't bad as far as drivers go but, dispatcher isn't too smart.. put 50+ on the ground Friday, our 5 back to back trucks showed up an hour apart. Grrrrrr
Looks to me like he forgot to pressurize his water tank. For the amount of water, he should have been adding it didn't appear to be changing the slump at all.
Batchman here. I see a few things going on here. First, we don't know how long it took the driver to get to this job, which is probably a cash job. Even 3000 PSI will start to flash if you have to travel for an hour to get there. Recover helps but it only adds a little time. Maybe the truck sat there for awhile before pouring, even though it doesn't look like that. He probably should have stopped to check his load. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was supposed to be at least a 5, maybe even a 6 because it looks like the finisher may want to shoot the mud to the back side. And the driver should have told them to clean the chute while he was adding water. Once you see that it's dry just ask the customer if he wants a 5, and spin him up a 5. Don't depend on a slump gauge either, trust your eyes.
Nothing is wrong with the concrete. The driver didn't clean his shoots from the last job (ever?) so it won't slide down. Compounding it, the slope, or lack there of. Its somewhat of a flat run and the fact that the chutes have dried concrete on it and you see whats happening. The concrete guys seem like they can't comprehend what the real problem is.
Condition of the chutes is less the issue than the near-horizontal pitch of the chute. Concrete can't flow down the chute if there is no down there. On top of all that, look how far the center of the slab is from the edge of the forms. They need a creteveyor or a pump, and at least a half-dozen more finishers, and a vibratory screed.
That stuff's probably been in the drum for 45 minutes to an hour and it's already starting to kick and he should have added like 20 to 30 gallons of water right off the bat that s*** should flow out the shoot on its own without you even having to touch it at least in the beginning
That shit is about a 3 slump which isn't going to slide down all those chutes it needs to be about a six slump. I do this stuff every single day for a living. And it's probably got accelerator in it which dries it up twice as fast.
That stuffs already started going off and the more he adds water the worse it will get because he will be outta water in no time and the slump won’t change at all
Uh I wonder if his hose is clogged at the top, seems like a lot of guys neglect that. Contractor-give it 10 Driver-okay Contractor- uhh wtf, give it 10 more Driver-okay Contractor-WTF man, give it 10 more....again Driver-okay Contractor-WTF, did you even fill your spike tank Driver-uhhhh yeah I I did Contractor-I’m rejecting this load Driver-okay Contractor-🦗🦗🦗 Driver-okay Contractor-🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗uh LEAVE Driver-okay I’ve seen this happen a couple times, it’s hilarious if you are watching from a distance.
What slump did they order the mud at? i've been on jobs with 10 yards where they order it at curb mud level and then they tell me they want a 6 inch slump and they got 1 percent in it. I'll add a gallon of super and add it onto their ticket whether they like it or not and throw 25 gallons in it.
These videos cheer me up. Everyone knows that alot can go wrong with concrete but it's always good to know there are people like this. The formwork here would just rise up into the air if you made it wetter and the large holes at the bottom are already far to big. Besides that I do not know what kind of concrete that is but you cannot simply wet up concrete like that. The truck doesn't have enough water to make it run and by the time you have a garden hose ready it's already reacting. Pumps are dirt cheap.
Why did they order such thick concrete? Why not order concrete a bit more wet than that chunky gruel? Adding water is usually a bad idea, and more often than not the driver is not allowed to make such a decision without the plant's/mixer's permission, for if the driver makes the decision on his/her own then there's a good chance the driver will be responsible for any reimbursements. Basically, the fault lies with the buyer, possible the mixer too, who for some reason thought it splendid an idea to have some poor driver trying to solve an issue he did not himself cause. And another thing. When people are criticizing his drop I wonder if they've considered whether he can raise the truck or not or whether he is not allowed or physically capable to inch closer as to give him the possibility to increase the drop? Just figuring a bit here. I know a few people who have no way of raising their trucks to increase the drop for the concrete as to have it slide faster down the glide, yet people are treating this as the driver's fault when the thick concrete is not sliding down fast enough for their liking.
Looks like a hot mix, your order was added to what was left in the bowl from the previous customer, makes the mud turn real quick, add atleast 10 litres per cubic meter to that and spin it up for Atleast 4 minutes, judging by the size of that slab you had 2-3 trucks?
My good friend was a concrete driver deliver concrete to the address the wife said just dump it here my husband will take care of it after he gets home she signed a ticket he poured it in the driveway and left can't make these things up
I think every mixer driver should know when a customer ask for 10 gallons you double it. Who knows what these guys ordered for him to take it that dry 🤷🏻♂️
Dude just looks at his chutes overflowing like yup that's happening oh well let these guys handle it and u no after hes done hes gonna say is it cool to rince all my chutes down on the grass
im new to the bizz and here because im just trying to make myself aware of what NOT to do lol.. here in Michigan.. atleast in the Detroit and surrounding areas we do not use the rear pour mixers.. so im just curious.. do rear pours not have water tanks or something? why doesnt he add some water and mixer up? is this how the contractor wants his product?!?!?!?!?!?!
They have water tanks, I'm assuming after the driver got loaded and he cleaned off before leaving he didn't add water to get at least a 5" slump, I'm a newbie so I can't talk crap, but more then likely it was a 2" and he prob needed to add a lot more water..
@@thatguydy5089 depends on what the contractor wanted it batched at. For all we know they ordered curb mud so they can fill that gap and then wanted to wet him up so he can pour the rest. also when they told him to add water they only told him to put 5 gallons in it which is fucking hilarious. 5 gallons isn't going to do shit so that tells me the contractors have no clue on what they're doing. So that's when the mixer driver needs to take control of the job and slump it up on his own. If that were me I'd throw a gallon of super p in it plus 20 gallons and then hop in and pour it out.
we had a guy on his first day on his own left a trail all the way from the plant to his job. On my first day I went to the wrong job. We had two giant buildings right next to eachother and I poured at the wrong one. Luckily it was the same builder and were both pouring slabs so they just let me finish pouring it out. I felt pretty emberassed.
Up here the drivers show ya what they got and if it’s not up to what ya want they stop and spin the shit outta that drum til ya like it. Feel bad for those boys I woulda said fuck you im out lol
It’s not the concrete truck driver fault that isn’t flowing it’s because it’s too dry. The only thing he could if done different is wet his chutes before hand
no experience what so ever! The cement mix is wrong and there is not enough water! all they had to do is add water to the mix in the truck....that will soften the flow. The driver of the truck is standing like a statue and doesnt have a clue. thats a complete fail.
I needed to add 8 ounces of air to my load once so I filled up an empty 8 ounce redbull can of air. the tester was like wtf are you doing and I told him I was giving it wings. And then I told him to retest it again and it passed and he was so confused lol.
What does the spec allow? I estimate a 3-inch initial slump, and I've seen a lot of project manuals that allow a three-inch max. A mid-range or high-range water reducer would have allowed improved workability without reducing strength and durability. More than anything else, they needed either a pump or a conveyor. And more finishers! These guys just hadn't though the project through.
It’s the Mexicans thinking they can do other things than landscaping. They need to stick to the mowers and yard care not concrete. I feel bad for this homeowner.
It is not the truck driver's job to work the concrete. He is to deliver the concrete to the site. The driver cannot add water to the concrete without direction either from the customer or his boss from the ready mix company. It is the supplier's job to ensure that the concrete arrives on the site on time with the concrete's physical properties matching those on the mix design docs. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide access to the placement location, means of depositing the concrete in the location where it is needed, and adequate personnel to finish the surface. This job should have been placed with either a conveyor or a pump, and at least a half-dozen finishers for things to have gone smoothly. Epic fail on the part of the contractor.
I duno, We've had drivers forget to wet the chute but never seen this, hard to tell without putting a tool on it, but it looks like a dead batch, even if it wasnt it sure is after he added all that water

I’ll bet it says 5 inch slump on his ticket. But yet he brings it at a zero. Get it to a 7 and let it fly.
Yep. They never pour what it says on the ticket. He should have raked down the first stuff. Guess he didn't look at it before he left

Ain't the driver's fault
@@ramblin_man23 could be, depending on what the requested slump was. Could have locked the chute for them at least though.

worst Mixer Operator EVER !!!! hahaha
Am I the only one that sees the 8" gap from the form board to the bottom? If they poured it at a 6-7 it would all run out!
You can put plastic though. These guys are terrible
They should've built it up with dirt, to keep the concrete from flowing out
Yo could also use plywood or pegboard
Nope. The concrete needs loads of water. That is a dry mix
I've seen some mickey mouse forms in my days but that takes the damn cake... Defiantly the cheapest bid contractor.

Your right on. 30 yrs doing that . Sad day for them
send the truck back and fire the driver

These are the types of typical know it all 🥴🤣🤣🤣
no experience what so ever! The cement mix is wrong and there is not enough water! all they had to do is add water to the mix in the truck....that will soften the flow. The driver of the truck is standing like a statue and doesnt have a clue. thats a complete fail.
to dry, should have no problem flowing at that pitch.
Shouldve threw a monster in the drum otw there 🤣
I needed to add 8 ounces of air to my load once so I filled up an empty 8 ounce redbull can of air. the tester was like wtf are you doing and I told him I was giving it wings. And then I told him to retest it again and it passed and he was so confused lol.
They will be finished by sundown - tomorrow.
Hey leave a comment or like for support thanks
Well, the cement looks absolutely dry, it should be wetter.
What does the spec allow? I estimate a 3-inch initial slump, and I've seen a lot of project manuals that allow a three-inch max. A mid-range or high-range water reducer would have allowed improved workability without reducing strength and durability. More than anything else, they needed either a pump or a conveyor. And more finishers! These guys just hadn't though the project through.
Concrete. The concrete looks dry... We dont pour cement. We pour concrete.
Was he not adding water?
It’s the Mexicans thinking they can do other things than landscaping. They need to stick to the mowers and yard care not concrete. I feel bad for this homeowner.
Looks like a load of wet base Put 30 in and blow it over the sides of the chutes. Or just put a slick pack in the mix 😆
I admire the patience of the two guys. But at this rate, they will never gey done. The truck driver seems to have no clue, I think.
It is not the truck driver's job to work the concrete. He is to deliver the concrete to the site. The driver cannot add water to the concrete without direction either from the customer or his boss from the ready mix company. It is the supplier's job to ensure that the concrete arrives on the site on time with the concrete's physical properties matching those on the mix design docs. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide access to the placement location, means of depositing the concrete in the location where it is needed, and adequate personnel to finish the surface. This job should have been placed with either a conveyor or a pump, and at least a half-dozen finishers for things to have gone smoothly. Epic fail on the part of the contractor.
Hot ass mud!!!
They put that sugar in there by accident
Larry, Curly and Moe.
that's the driver's job.
looks like hot mud to me. timed out mud just gonna eat the water
STUFF IS GOING TO BE SET UP BEFORE THE POUR IS DONE
But... I i fight for my mixer. Look at him
This happened to me today I didn't understand why ,, only on one of my loads ,,you live and you learn
Had to be his first week
Hahaha stupid concrete guys, the driver mixing the concrete without adding any water, llol
I would have sent that shit back
Damn that’s sad 😞
UK concrete usually checked at a platform by the batcher... driver still needs to "wet it up driver" never right
did he even wet the shute before hand looks bone dry
no he didnt
+tyler fox that will be why it was sticking when we do concreting we have our barrows soaked and all the back of the mixer soked
I duno, We've had drivers forget to wet the chute but never seen this, hard to tell without putting a tool on it, but it looks like a dead batch, even if it wasnt it sure is after he added all that water
Kyle Ranger
C'est
It was full of dried concrete he never washed it from the last job.that's why he is a dumb
Ass it must be bare steel or it will never flow
Of course you have all the so-called expert that are going to make a stupid comment because they all started off as experts
"Order fails"
bad mix dude start over - i would be so pissed if they poured that garbage as a foundation
What would you say to them ^^
Damn that’s messed up.
Not even that dry, no slope and a dirty chute
