This young woman grew up in these trucks. She's no rookie.
It’s cool to se her driving a mixer but who ever showed her a routine messed up the pre trip after she got loaded, the washing how of the hopper at the job and not checkin be your mud and relying on a slump gauge was kinda crazy but to each there own
WD -40 that Squeaking sound whatever it is.
Nha Bro Is ASMR hajahahhaha 😂
Seat. WD or anything will smell horrible and it takes a bit to find the squeak.
WD-40 is the answer to all i love it how everyone know this :D
😅
Air ride seat darren.
Whatever is squeaking inside that cab would drive me insane.
fr bruh😭
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.
the seat 100% happens in my hauler after being used and abused for so long
grandpas^*
I would imagine it to be my wife's voice and I could tune it out easily.
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!
your music choice is top tier
This is so awesome! I have 4 daughters, 5 grand daughters and you are perfect example of being limitless with talent!
You are proof that anyone can do anything they want. Good for you!
Simp😂
Very impressive. She does it right. What impressed me the most, locking the manual chute lock. So many lazy people don't do that not realizing that the mechanical/air locks can fail. Nice work
The ready mix sand and gravel industry was my best job. I miss it everyday. Really enjoyed mixer and dump truck and pup. 👍
Cool! Great to see more people getting involved in the skilled work!
Thank you for contributing to society and working for our people. I love watching people working in the cargo/trucking industry. I'm subscribing
You don't look like a mess girl. You look like a dream girl !!! Sometimes young girls think they don't look good, but after living a lot longer then you, I can say you just wait til you see this video years down the road, and then you will realize how good you look.
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..
Merry Christmas Lexie 🎄
You are so awesome 😎
Keep up your amazing Drive 🙌
Az concrete driver I saw one of your videos you said people were asking about making longer videos. That’s a good idea. Keep it up. I wish my job it looked as easy as yours. I know it’s not easy but you make it look fun
It’s great to see another female driving concrete trucks as well🤩 I started driving ready mix concrete trucks at 19 and I’m 20 now💪🏽
Subscribed. been doing a mixer for 4 years and its a love hate relationship. Couldnt imagine doing this in California thou lol. Too much traffic. Well done
Thats a pretty cool video. Kinda funny with the squeaky seat. Ozzy!
Wow, as an O/O been doing this for 15yrs and family business 25yrs started off in the dump trucks. My respect to this gorgeous young lady in the business and nice to see she is shifting those gears
Awesome video. Welcome to the ready mix life lol. Best job ever
Heck yea!!!!! You got some metal tunes 🎵🎶👊…..you awesome 🤘😎
I’m a girl and I want to learn to drive a truck. I am a student pilot but driving a truck has also been on my mind a lot over the years. I love that you went for it! Go, girl! Cool intro btw, I liked the part where you set up your little lonchita and listened to Ozzy on the way to work 🎸
Go for it it’s good to do a lot of things 👍 I’m going to school on the 5th
Awesome and great job, my hats off to you ❤
I did this for a couple weeks. I was a lease driver and did different jobs. I did both mixers a front and rear dump. I will have to say the front dump was a lot easier to get lined up.
A big hello...
And loveing to see a girl smile when working ...
Be safe 👍
Good job girl..
Those mixers or something else totally different.
I drove one for years before I live. It's all back country roads over here. Twists and turns.
Get the front right wheel off the edge of the road it's over for you.
A lot of guys are trying to overcorrect and you're going over. Be safe.😍😍🤜🏽💥🤛🏽👍🏽🤘🏾🤘🏾🤙🏾✌🏽🤚🏽🙏🏽😊😎🙋🏽♂️
in a couple years you'll know more about the pouring of concrete than the guys doing the concrete work I've seen the concrete truck drivers get down in the mud and show the concrete workers how it's done, concrete work is the toughest job on the job site and the guys that deliver the concrete are always for some reason the nicest and coolest people on the site
Cuz they make easy money lol
That’s bad ass!!! Keep on hustling. I stay In la puente noticed u were local in this job
Thats exactly how I pack my lunch in the morning lol. Early mornings, you're half asleep. As a powder train driver I feel you 👍
Keep up with the good work, sorry I couldn't work with you guys for that long. Talk to ya'll soon
I drive a peterbilt but is a automatic and feel like you doing the shift (((transmission sucks ))) now I driving a front discharge and make my day go smoothly 😂
Happy holidays and cheers 🥂
When you opened the fridge in the morning I thought you were gonna grab the Modelos lol. Breakfast of champions
The coolest. Actually looks like a fulfilling job. It's the best watching women do these types of jobs.
Thanks. You made my Sunday morning.
Im in the teamsters here in NYC and Redi Mix is a big part of our union, and the amount of women were seeing here in the local is growing. Good for you young lady, and thank you for contributing to society instead of sitting home playing video games all day
Your mixer fins looking nice and clean good job!!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. 😃👍🏾
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 saw her not wash the hopper before leaving and was like yeah not smart lol😂😂😂😂
The funnst part of the jobs spraying with he hose!
Oh wow this is a good video you posted. Reason I say this is because I'm currently in the military and learning about this.
God bless this happy young talented woman.She put a smile on my face
Lol....drove a bucket truck that made the same squeaky seat...never got used to it...lol..be safe out there 👍💪
As a commercial driver for over 36 years and last 5 years a ready mix driver, the only thing I saw wrong was how she got out of the of the cab. I guess I was taught different. I would always rinse the hopper and fins before leaving the plant. Keep on trucking.
Hard working operator is key...Always know what the contractor wants before they know..( 10 year operator here) I love washing out in tge hopper..chill time.. Keep slumpin🎉🎉
Damn. Cruizin to work with Ozzy blasting. Awesome.
I love that early morning rumble. 🚛
Getting down to your bad self Lexie… Jamin’ to Ozzy early in the morning. 😊😊😊🤘🎼🎸🔥🔥🔥
I love the way you carefully prepare your lunch.....LOL LOL LOL
Hi, Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎉
Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 to you keep on doing it
Job well done. A good pm will go a long way in helping catch the small things before they turn into a big thing. And 3 points of contact going up and down anything will keep you safe

That was the best job I ever had, that also was my first commercial driving job in 2000. I worked for a company in Spring Texas loved it. The wife at the time Got home sick, then we moved back to Virginia. Dumb move..anyway. have fun with that job..
Wowww girl you are doing great work so proud of you ❤️💋❤️😘😘😘😘😘
awesome work. love it
Ran one of these mixers this season. Winter has arrived up north so its pretty much done.
Not sure if will do it next year. Not enough driving and too much washing up.
You go pretty girl!
I'm in Pittsburgh driving front discharge mixer...winter only stops the lazy that want unemployment...I'm still Monday through Saturday
@@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 :=)
Concrete does not like 60 below....
@@davidcaple6305wow, intelligent.
Can you spell hoarding?
@@alsteeves2044 think your mom just called you upstairs for dinner
pretty sweet, i watched because i saw in the preview i knew the area. im in san dimas!
Nice driving, young lady, and aren't those pump jobs a welcome break? The curb jobs were a drag, but even those weren't so bad. I'm retired now and I sure miss it. Safe driving and Be Well!!
Yooo nice vid! But can we get a video on the new M3?! ❤
You handle that rig really good.
The pre trip after geting loaded is a classic
Yep I had 11 year in the concrete business driving both rear discharge and front discharge Oshkosh and Mack 10 yards at a time even though legal with the booster axel was 8 1/2 yards for most whom don’t know 1 yards = 4000lbs = 2ton so 32000lbs at 8 1/2 yard but we carried 10 yards so 40,000 lbs with 175 gal of water and 100 gal of fuel 27,800 empty plus 40,000 lbs miss it. Did a lot of conveyer and pump work here in the big city of Chicago have fun stay safe and have a great Christmas 😊
You must be one of the ones that don't know the weight of a yard of concrete LOL...For your information, a yard of concrete weights 4000 lbs. not 2000 lbs.
@dennismcclintock3154 10 years ago, we could get away with 11 yds dry on a paystar 5000 with no tag or pusher... just mind them bridges and weight limits..
@@hk5674 ya I corrected this my hand typed one thing and my brain did the other😂😂😂😂
Love your taste in music omg yea
"and Im ready to Roll, yeaahh" 😆
Making that money 💰 you go girl 👏🏾 ❤
Insert "I just died in your arms tonight" meme here
you make the wheel of society roll thumbs up!
Sick ride, not the truck your Beamer. Love that for you, much deserved. 🤘🏻😎
That driver seat sounds like my bed on my birthday and Valentines Day
Always wanted to drive any truck but cement mixer oh yeah. Good job
Gorgeous my lord I just got an interview with ready mix wish me luck !!🍀
From Ozzy to Reggae👍🏽😆…Aloha🤙🏽
I’ve never understood that style of concrete truck. The ones where the concrete comes out the front make so much more sense
It be like that !! I just drive with my seat low so it won't squeak!! I drove for 7 years and I'm still going back even tho I've collided once
shorty you cool asf with that intro.
When she opened the fridge I thought she was grabbing a morning beer 🍺
Prettiest concrete truck driver or even the prettiest CDL holder
Best job ever I love it 5 months in
No more tearsssss ❤ Ozzy
For a second i thought she was going to grab a Modelo for breakfast lol
Exactly work job. Well done 👍🏻
Good job, thx for sharing. Where does all the stuff go when you wash the truck?
Great vlog
Wish the drivers looked like this where Im from 😂
sold me when i seen u shifting 🥳🤩 thas wassup
Squeaky seats drive you crazy, I use silicon aerosol spray in a can and hit all the pivot joints under the seat 👍
The Tuffest job in trucking imo..
Keep it up Sunshine 💪
Hardly!!!
i'm literally in love
Cool good job!
Beautiful, smart and hard working.
Did this for a year. Hated it. Went back to regular trucking.
