    I also work in ready mix. You are WAY more careful and considerate of your equipment than my co-workers are. I see them do stuff like slam the chutes, slam on the brakes when backing into the loadout, just hard on the trucks... and we run relatively late model trucks and they're wondering why stuff always breaks. Good job taking great care of your truck and job!

      Typical mentality of most USA workers (white, black, hispanic). I've personally seen a fellow co-worker just throwing & slamming boxes onto the floor, which could potentially break whatever is inside. You won't see that kind of behavior with asians. My brother tells me the same thing at his work. His co-worker don't give a sh!t about doing the job right & correct. Lunch time, got a few bolts left, just throw it inside the box, instead of properly doing their job & tightening it down. So their products are defective, due to lazy workers, so he has to go & fix their "don't give a crap".
      At 1 of my former job, my boss laments to me that he wishes there were more ppl like me at work. He's black, all the workers are black, except me. Everything they touch slowly turns to crap, but there's a few good ones, like my ex-boss.

      @@Hayabusa-ll7fo Well aren't you special. Here's how it is outside that little piece of ground called Pittsburgh.
      Here in Western Canada construction slows down in winter. In the big city of 1 million 50 miles away, they are carrying on right now and are fairly busy. Of course hoarding and heating costs money, but allows things to move along.
      I live away from that rat race and was operating for a small rural local plant. A whole other scene.
      Tomorrow I start hauling grain with a set of b doubles, both local and long haul. No downtime here.
      So I'll just go for a drive, while you keep washing up son. Enjoy :=)

      Man all these comments I see is nothing but positivity.. normal construction worker.. put boots on cold weather or hot. get to the job site and work.. pour it do the details and finish the floor. Or broom it.. from guys that work or have worked in this.. from being a dude that worked in super hard labor.. seeing this chick do it all.. arrive on time learn and adapt.. clean cloths when she arrives and clean clothes when she goes home... Ask permission when needed.... Am 23.. since the age of 15 I got out into this construction stuff.. but things went left with the past crew and boss... Now with 2 yr working with someone new.. it's nice better money.. but it isn't stable.. compared to this.. looks more rewarding to do your task.. and know your helping not only yourself but communication with bosses.. people that have the money to do things they like.. and just have fun.. are you able to get time off? To hop off and get a month break.. not within a yr.. but after a good while... Knowing your responsible at work no fights. And just making job easier for everyone.. deserves the right to have that break..

      Yeah, I oiled my seat in the semi at the end of one day, it took about 4 minutes to locate and eliminate the squeaky. The next day the boss was questioning my finish work time so I told him what I did... He yells "You're not a mechanic, don't be fixing things!". I replied that one more 12 hour night with that seat and I wouldn't be a driver either.

    I’m very impressed with your ability in handling a concrete truck. I noticed when you were adding H20 to the mix you didn’t wash the hopper before leaving the plant, is that common practice in California?
    I must give you two thumbs up for driving that manual Beast, and to be truthful I’m very jealous of you for being able to have a manual truck because I HEART those Dinosaurs because you much better control over your truck. Marin- Marietta switched to all automatic trucks and HATE it with a passion; however today’s young drivers can’t shift without burning up the clutch and that’s a freaking shame. Be very careful and please be safe and take your time because folks that never operated a cement truck haven’t a clue to how hazardous they are and can be on certain jobs.
    Keep grinding and make your money because there’s not a lot of people that’s willing to do what you’re doing because it takes courage and guts and sacrificing to ride in the driver’s seat working those crazy hours.

      I may have missed it, due to editing, but the pre drive inspection was pretty short.
      If I remember correctly, there is a whole litany of items to check off before driving, e.g. checking brakes, air governor, suspension, etc. which I didn't see her check.
      The thing is, she's not alone. This almost rampant throughout the trade of Truck Driving in USA, and in California.
      The Truck Company owners know that it would be super expensive to have to pay their drivers to do the REAL preinspection check AND repairs, like those tires.
      Lots of drivers, bring these things up, and either get told to shut up and just drive it, or get indirect retaliation for delay deliveries.
      Then again, this is coming from a failed Class A taker that turned into "Technician"😆😆😆

    Just curious what you liked about concrete mixer driver vs semi since you got your cdl class A

    • @jgruen9854
      @jgruen9854 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I got my class a and went straight to mixer driving, it’s usually one of the better paying local jobs without a ton of physical work. Class a food delivery pays a bit more but hard work. Fuel hauling pays a bit more but requires 2 year’s experience usually and not really worth the risk in my opinion. Side dump, end dump and belly dump usually don’t pay that well.

      @@jgruen9854 I feel that, I started with dry van regional but got tired of the same routes. It was only drop and hook so not a lot of work but just repetitive

      The nice thing about driving a mixer is you are going to different locations all day. You might go to job-sites you've never been to and never will go again. Even if you are going to the same job-site each pour is different unless its a pump. I would say the only major cons is the contractors can be frustrating to deal with and it can be difficult to keep the truck clean, that's a big part of the job. @@GmackZilla

    I see a lot of build up on your blades also looks like you’ve been hauling black die that wasn’t washed out good hey ask the plant manager to put some 67 stone in you mixer that will help with the build up some but if it gets worse they may have to chisel out the mixer
    Also a check stand wouldn’t hurt so you drivers could see better when slumping the load and one other thing the air bag in your seat is squeaky grease those fittings and spray lubricant directly in the center of the air bag (pull bottom portion of the seat towards the steering wheel and then raise is like a hood) just some advice to make you job easier
    Those bridge master (tag axle) trucks are the most vulnerable for turning over stay safe driver 🤙
