I'm a retired Class A driver...I watched your video where you showed your Dad your license, damn near brought me to tears.... Seeing how happy your family was, just too rare nowadays, never ever lose that bond. You do a damn good job and that's a huge relief for your dad, a driver that he can trust and does a helluva good job. NEVER EVER listen to people who wanna tear you down.... ignore them and focus on what YOU want. Your gonna do just fine, just keep being you.
Excellent comment.
Ditto!😉
Gee..... Write Inspirational BooKs why don't you..........haa No1's gonna Tear her Down & make her quit her Manly Job..........haa
Well said. This should be a 📌 comment. Keep moving forward.
Was it hard to get your CDL license, I went to one in San Bernardino off of Highland Ave and he didn’t teach how to properly backup just took my money
This girl is a prime example of why dads are necessary in a girl's life. How attractive is this girl inside and out, and it all started from dad.
Literally, in his n't sack!!
Dad's are important without the dads we all wouldn't be hear today and that's something modern women are not noticing it.
Yeah this is truth. We are prepping for a kid and a lot of what I’ve read is shown in her. Super cool channel
Nah
This is cringe. And a shame that a Women would even have to consider doing this.
Parental guidance and a receptive child... what a breath of fresh air 🙂
Indeed!
Good parenting goes a long way to raise decent and healthy kid. First time around and I think she is a kind of girl that makes her parents proud.
Lexie, don't waste too much time worrying about the jealous people out there, just keep doing a great job driving!
Exactly
Yup. My only suggestion would be about the videos. Add a black outline to the letters of the captions and maybe a second longer do that it’s easier to read.
She gotta listen to us old heads who made that mistake too many times. Typical human condition wants to please everyone but with age you realize no matter how hard you try no matter what you do you're never going to please everyone. People who aren't pleased by you are jealous.
@@_ShrewdJude we said and I love your adage "old heads", kind of like my Grandpa used to say, "olE fossils". And you are spot on with listening to us, I am a retired Class A driver with over 2.5Million miles logged professionally, with no accidents or incidents while driving as a Class A driver and it seems no matter how much I would try and teach a younger person, almost always they thought they knew more, but Lexie is clearly not one of those "younger drivers".
So true, just keep on keeping on kid 💪🏽💪🏽
She's a great catch for a young man. Common sense down to earth girl.
No time for a healthy relationship being a concrete mixer driver. Your schedule is everyone else's schedule to make for you unfortunately
@@Hayabusa-ll7fo
If it’s important you’ll make the time
Hey if the guy works concrete ;) he could see her when they both get off 😂 ion wanna come off weird for not knowing the girl but definitely had those same thoughts seems like a great girl
@@Hayabusa-ll7fo In a healthy relationship you would be happy regardless as the other person is worth the hassle.
Facts a lot of green flags. Good work ethic, close to her Dad, and no Instagram which is really rare for a girl as young as her
Being so young and having that mentality, and not living off your Dad just because he owns the company and by not acting like a Daddy’s little girl, instead you took it upon yourself to be a responsible young lady, getting your license and working in an industry totally dominated by Men and not being afraid of it, speaks volumes about you. Keep it up! You certainly are one of a kind. Not to mention you certainly are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stressful working environment related to driving, specially commercial trucks. Being driving since I was 24 myself now 51 and still driving.
Agreed!
I’d be terrified to drive a cement truck!
Nothing wrong with women being concrete drivers. Nothing wrong with getting in because of family, Its the best way to get a leg up. Don't waste your time reading negative comments, just keep posting and we will keep checking in.
I never Pay mind to negative comments because I know they do it for attention, so I don’t give them that attention.. but this time I might have let it get to me 😅 and I as well wanted to defend myself and get my side out there but moving forward I will ignore the haters 😎 thank you for ur comment!!
@@lexflowaz It's actually shocking to me that you're getting haters (not really i guess b/c of lame social media lol). Regardless, you keep doing you Lexy. I wish I was as put together as you are at your age. I'm now 45 and own my own business/home but it was a long road getting here. Imo you have the perfect attitude and approach to life...don't listen to the negativity that makes you question your chosen path. It sure seems you've been successful in whatever you've chosen to do, that's most important. Do, learn, grow and focus on what makes YOU happy. Keep it up you're killing it more than you probably realize. Love your videos btw:)
I started otr in 2000 ,as long as you’re doing your job safely ignore the jealous folks and stay positive, hustle till you money makes money!
Que bonito es mirar como te gusta tu trabajo y eres un ejemplo para que los jóvenes con 21áños estás haciendo algo que no todos tienen el previlgio de trabajar con sus padres y eres un ejemplo para los Jóvenes para que se🫡pongan las pilas y no hay nada mejor como trabajar en Familia y mientras hagas tus responsabilidades todo está bien no se porque la gente se tiene que molestar sigue echándole ganas y ahorra tu dinero y inviertelo tienes un brillante futuro por delante Saludos desde Los Angeles también 👍 y deberías tener otro Canal con el mismo contenido pero en Spañol sería genial👍🔥
Lexie, people aren't upset because you're working for you dad. People like that are more upset with themselves because they lack the drive and/or motivation in themselves to drop the phone or walk away from the computer to get off their ass and be productive. The world needs more people like you who are't sitting around feeling sorry for themselves and getting out and taking charge of their lives. You parents have got to be so proud of you and the decisions you are making. As long as you are happy, keep doing what you're doing and when you look in the mirror each day don't forget to tell that person you're looking at how special she is. Love catching up each week and seeing what you're up to.
She’s a unicorn 😅! You give me hope that there is still a chance for the future generations! Keep killing it!!!
Having worked for my dad for the last few years it has been a blessing for me and I have no regrets. No one should look down on that. Good on you! Keep up the great work!!
I think it is a blessing! not many get to work besides their family so I definitely cherish it and I’m glad you do too!
@@lexflowaz Made me smile to know it's a family business. There is a lack of a family unit and God in this world today. Blessing to you and your family.
My dad had trucks in the UK and I worked for him as a mechanic/ tow truck driver alongside my eldest brother, we were always the first there and the last to go home and I loved every minute of it. You're doing a great job, and I'm sure your dad is very proud of you and your brother.
@@_Mario_PL_Amen to that ✝️
Hola,de que país son?hablas buen español, saludos desde Tibuana México
You are doing amazing for your age. Im 29 and I got my Class A months ago I’m driving a 53ft tractor trailer. I’m so happy and proud of you❤ ! People are very envious don’t pay attention to them. Do your thing girl! 💪🏼
Aww thank you for your comment! Ur awesome and I’m happy for you on your new journey! Be safe out there! 🥰🫶🏻
I'ts good you addressed the fact that your working for your Pops and with your Brother and that they look out for you. The reason I say this is because I'm sure a lot of young ladies might see your channel and decide to do what you're doing but have a completely different experience than what you're having. They might have nobody defending them and may experience abuse and harassment etc and then be upset they followed your path. I love your transparency and how you speak with your heart. That's a rare quality nowadays. I wish you continued success in everything you do in life.
Very true! Any trade you join will put you on the bottom until they hire several more newbies.
wow😮 you know I never thought about it that way but you have a reason.. thank you for mentioning this, I think it should be brought to others attention too, and thank you for your kind words! I wish you the same back!!
very good thing to point out sir. Its an industry full of almost all men and respect is always important
So cute you got to see your grandma, and she got to see you working 😊
Lexi will always remember that for sure. It's the little things that count
I know your dad is very proud of you.. you’re a really hard worker and do a great job 👏 don’t listen to the negative comments! It’s refreshing seeing a young girl like you get in the mix and do the job like a champ
20 year mixer operator. Your doing awesome 🎉. Keep up the hard work and content ROCKSTAR!!
Wow thank you! Means a lot coming from someone with more years of experience than me 🤘
@@lexflowaz You are the youngest mixer operator I ever seen. As for working with you dad, a lot of us guys have gotten our start working with our fathers.
Now, I am 65, it is nothing new to see guys twice your age still doing business with their dads. I know because different crews I call upon are family people.
You are doing just fine. Do your thang.
I recently read a great quote, that you just reminded me of.
“How you do anything in life, is how you do everything in life.”
Great job kid.
Wow thank you for sharing 👍🏻🫶🏻
You're doing great Lexie. I have much respect for you becoming a concrete truck driver. Keep working hard, earning that experience, money and you will continue to grow and build your future. I support you on your life journey. Prayers and God Bless Lexie 🙏❤️.
I'm 48 and just got my license and have seen ads for Ready Mix Driver and have felt intimidated about doing it. That is how I found your channel. Makes me think I'm a wuss for not doing it too. Props on having someone to teach you!
Expand your comfort zone
it ain’t bad really depends where and what you are doing. but i started when i was 21 and im 23 now and i enjoy what i do
I'm 46 and just returned to school to get my degree. It's scary starting something new. I genuinely pray that your new license and future employment go well. God speed!
Great you are a ready mix trucker.
Just ask Jesus to guide you and He will guide your steps. ( & give ya daily love joy peace and heaven when ya die ) John 3:16 Ephesians 6:8&9.
Trucking is a challenging rewarding and honorable job.
@@Fearless-ex4ivSo true❤❤❤
You go girl! Just keep going! Don't let the haters take your glory. Some day that might be your company, ya just never know.
Your father should be proud! You've handled yourself like a veteran pro. Concrete is liquid gold, and seeing yourself being part of displacement is very entertaining. The way you maneuver your truck in tight neighborhoods is top-notch! Thanks for allowing us in your private life.
this is brilliant. videographer in the making. BRILLIANT.
You are special, you do a great job. So real, and you do work hard. You will some day realize spending time with your family is the best thing when there gone.
It's so encouraging to see your channel and I hate that people doubt you. You're working in your family business, one you may have to manage. You're an encouragement to many people around you!
Thats a new side to you Lexie that ive never seen before! You are an inspiration in many ways! The whole "life is just a bunch of problems" is the truest sentence ive ever heard in a long time. You work hard and then you do these videos and bring us all along on the journey. Amazing human being. Never change and stay safe!
In a World where Girls Starts Only Fans for Shameless easy Money ,You're an Angel for Doing A Job which is Quite difficult!!! RESPECT TO YOU❤❤
Don’t judge ✊🏾
It’s the world oldest profession!!!
It’s 2024 🙄
She’s a classy proper lady💪🏼
It's not over yet!
@@dr.romeoconfidential9271that don’t make it any less wrong
At first I thought your alarm clock was going off(background music/chime) non stop and you were trying to find your phone to turn it off...then I realized you were just making your bed to some music haha. We admire your work ethic. Keep smiling pretty lady!
Dang, up at 4:30am PST, my finger had an automatic reflex clicking the like button. You put in the work for your money girl. You wake up and start your day, and end your day with what i say "Dirty hands, Clean money". Jobs in the future will respect your resume. You are doing great for your age. Being a blue collar worker sure does give you a better perspective on life. Keep it up!
I think it's great you work for your dad and with your brother, family is number one and you have a lot of support. Keep doing what you're doing, you have a great perspective on life !
Lexi i love your videos your a real insperation , people will always try and critizize you but dont listen to them. i used to own a excavation co in Texas i would have loved to have a hard working employee like i can tell you are. Keep them videos coming You go girl
I worked for my dad for 5 years in my twenties. It was a blessing and a learning experience. But also hard, cause I didn't want to be that kid who was there just because of my dad. So I had to work extra hard to make sure everything I did was top notch. Sometimes that was exhausting.
Now, two decades later I do something completely different. But I wouldn't have been without those 5 years. They were detrimental to my work experience and understanding of adulthood.
So, nothing wrong working for your family business. And you are doing fantastic work. Both on the job and yt, showing us what it's all about driving a mixer( which I knew nothing about), but I keep watching what you do for some reason. Just keep doing it until you find a new direction, or not, cause you're doing great!👍
Thank you for your story, I really don’t think I see myself driving a mixer still in the next 5 years but like you said, these experiences later will help me for the next step, thank you again tho, I appreciate you taking the time to comment
You're doing a great job Lexie. You're following your heart, your family and keep taking care of your self and gaining VALUABLE experience with your dad and those around you. I come from a small town in south central New Mexico and I learned a lot from my Grandma and family. They had family businesses and work hard and passed their work ethics on to us. Keep going Lexi and trust your heart and gut instinct!❤
I'm Proud of you, family always looks out of each other , keep up the great work.
Keep breaking social norms and challenging stale ideals of who you should be. And what you you should be doing. You're an inspiration to me and many others! Keep up the good work, as long as it makes you happy.🎉
Why the heck does people spend there time watching ur video and then put out so much negative comment? Your video is just showing what it like being Concrete Mixer Driver. Keep up the good work !
We are here for you 100% 🎉 keep building your brand 💙
You got the fever! Being out in the fresh air, solving challenges (not problems), making decent $$, and best of all (at least for me) being in control of that powerful machine. I started off by taking a semester off from school, loved the truck and the road so much that I wound up in the chair for 34 years. Be proud and always love where you are.
I been driving a mixer for 3 years and you do a better job than drivers with more experience. We have female drivers out here in Colorado. Keep up the good work and ignore the negativity
We're proud of you here in az keep doing what you're doing.
Mad respect for you! As a former ready mix driver it’s definitely not cut out for everyone and props to you and your family for supporting your journey! Keep on truckin!
I love to see this, to see young adults with their head in the right place and Headed in the right direction,good for you man, your family must be so proud 🥲💕😁
Whether you got the job urself or family, that’s ur business, if you wanna tell people that’s ur decision u dnt have to explain, ur doing a awesome job keep up the good work
Lexie you are doing every perfectly. I know many young adults your age that have no clue what they are doing or where their life is headed. You have your whole life ahead of you I'm positive you'll be just fine. God bless and be safe!
Your dad must be so proud of you! You're a hard worker and it shows. Keep it up! My boys worked with me when they were younger. They thank me all the time for the experience and helping them with their current careers.
You are doing an exceptional job! It's wonderful to see a young person taking advantage of the opportunities available to them. You keep going and don't let the folks with bad vibes get in your way.
Lexie, you have storytelling talents ... the opening scenes, vlog style, creative editing 🎬🎥. That was funny ... you running back to get your camera😄 That is fantastic that your Dad has his own business and gave you an opportunity! I think there might be some slight jealousy out there, but obviously, you do not slack. You have positive energy, good motivation, work hard, and desire to learn how to improve your skills 👍😎
Finally! People deserves to know the truth!
You're amazing. Have a blessed week.
Love your work ethic it is so refreshing, keep after it!
I have nothing but respect for you and what you do. Keep up the hard work.
My grandfather drove mixer and then ran a crusher in Petaluma, CA years ago. I clicked a few videos ago because it was incongruent, young cute gal operating a mixer truck, seemed like it was gonna be cool or cliche. Your video was really cool, it was professional and quirky, but fun, most importantly I learned what it looks like to drive a mixer. Now I can understand more closely what the job looked like for my grandfather and brought me new appreciation for his experiences, thank you.
Aw that’s awesome that my video was able to do that for you! Thank you for commenting your story I appreciate it
Keep going!! You got this.
Lexi you are a joy to watch and a credit to your father and mother. It is so encouraging to see young folks like yourself having a level head and truly thinking about their future, oh and willing to put in a hard days work. You’re a blessing young lady. May the Lord bless you and keep you and may His face shine on you and give you peace. 😊
You do you! You don’t owe no one an explanation of what you do. I so enjoy your videos.
I am 33 and had worked for both of my parents for 12 years and I agree it is so much harder working for your parents, you have to give more than 120% and they know you enough and can push you to work harder it can be rough and everyone needs to get a start somewhere (mine was a stair parts warehouse both then front with paperwork and back pulling and receiving)
And yeah live your life make that money in time it will come where you see change coming (hell you've already changed from before becoming a driver) and you'll be ready for it so don't worry about deadlines on life goals so long as your happy and healthy just keep on keeping on
Exactly! It sucks that people are stuck with the opposite idea of working with a relative! But hopefully my video and comments like yours shows some people a different perspective. Thank you for your comment!
Lexie thank you so very much for sharing your experience with us and always drive safe
Keep up the good work young lady. The world needs more young people like you
You are so wonderful. You have an amazing attitude and your dad should be proud of that. Nothing wrong with working with your family if you have the opportunity to. As you said, you learn so much more typically from family than you would at a place you know nothing about. Keep up the great videos, you're inspiring me to do my job the best that I can. You're a hard worker! Keep it up and thank you again for the positivity and the great content... Subscribed!
Just do what’s right for you🎉 not because someone thinks it’s right for you🎉
Lexie, don't worry about any ignorance about you and your family, job, career. I have 5 Daughters and have been a Class A driver for over 38 years. Your family are the only people that you really need to listen to and I believe that they are very proud of you!!!! Remember haters will always hate!!! Misery loves company!! Continue with your happiness and success. Your parents have worked hard and have achieved their goals including raising good kids now adults 👏 take care
Thank you so much for your comment! You take care as well!
It's awesome you work for your dad! It's so nice he's looking out for you. You're doing great! I was such an idiot at 22. You're doing way better than most. Keep up the great work!
Nothing better than working with your family ❤
Lexie, my hats off to you.. you've acquired a license that is well paying, OTR, flatbed, etc.. haters create doubt and negativity.. don't let them derail your future and happiness.. its YOUR life. What a great start. Dios la Bendiga 🙏 Cuide y Acompane.
Thank you so much! Comments like yours are ones I screenshot to read later as a reminder to not let others bring me down. I feel silly now for ever letting anyone make me feel the need to prove myself. thank you! Have a great new week!
The running back to get your cámara had my drying 😂😂 love your videos
I just admire you.
Great answers. Im young cdl also have my fam in trucking business so I 100% understand . Also im like a super fit freak and might start a fit trucker channel since it is rare to see a fit trucker. Keep being you Reina!
Were here! From Socal to Socal. Much love Lex
I can guarandamntee you that with your good work ethic and positive attitude you could get a job anywhere. In today's world finding young people like yourself that will show up on time and do as they are told is not as easy as it sounds. Sounds like your parents did a great job raising you and this is a win win for both you, and your father. Happiness and a satisfied mind are something that some folks search a lifetime never to find. You however seem to already have it, so I sure as hell wouldn't listen to any of the negative comments. You have the tiger by his tail, your inner voice has guided you this for, no reason to stop listening to it now. My advice, YOU GO girl🤗
I can’t get over on how adorable you are! It’s just too much beauty and cuteness!! You keep doing you and that’s it. You’re on the right track 😎
Amen too you and your video 😊 One Day at a time😊 Have a Happy Blessed week❤😊
Your such a hard worker is impressive and it don’t matter if you work for your family or if you work for somebody else hey you’re out there working and working hard you go girl😊
Lexie I been following you videos for several months now you do your job so amazingly , Dad and family they must be si proud of you, just be careful and always be safe , that should be your number 1 priority.
You're doing a great job Lexie! If you're having problems with mud coming out the back of the chute, I let concrete build up behind the rubber skirt that'll keep it in. Keep the rubber side down!
Hey thanks for your comment! I just noticed the other day my brother had dry build up there too and now it makes sense, I’m going to try it out, thank u for the suggestion!
U go girl great job
Don’t worry about the negative comments. You are killing it! You’ll do amazing at anything you decide to do because you have a great work ethic.
Your folks raised you well and you've obviously got a good head on your shoulders. This gives you some time to figure out what you want to focus on. Get college when you're ready and can focus, instead of simply taking random classes. Don't get too wrapped up in the negative aspects, either. You're more than just a pretty girl, for you've obviously learned some ethics and responsibility along the way. I really get a kick out of watching your new experiences (and mixer trucks are something I never played with, so even this old guy can learn a little bit and satisfy my curiosity lol) and I get to have a good chuckle at times, too. I've no doubt your dad and brother and entire family are proud of you. Just be safe, both online and off. And thanks for sharing! :)
Seeing this today makes me think it's Saturday lol
Keep doing what you're doing...it's an amazing job...enjoy your content...I'm a pumper in San Fernando valley...
Oh man. I love the sound of your job. A pumper. 😅 Good day man.
You deserve and have my respect. Anyone who is upset, that’s their problem not yours. Don’t take their problems on. You’ll have enough of your own. Keep up the good work. 👍
Greetings from knoxville tennessee, Nice to see someone who is responsible and a hard worker keep up the great work!!
Good for you!
Thanks!
Something to fix during editing as you learn your new video craft - your videos are reversed and need to be corrected during editing. It often appears that your truck and car are right-hand drive, while in other shots, it is obvious that they are left-hand drive. Please learn to fix this in your editing software because it is disorienting for the viewer. Thank you. 👍
Not really a problem as I'm from New Zealand and we drive on the opposite side so I'm not worried.
Hey Lexi. Great video as always. I too am a concrete mixer driver. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Like spinning the drum faster while going up a hill. Keep up the great work and stay safe. 💯
I think it is Awesome what you are doing Lexie and you seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Glad to see it and I enjoy your videos. Stay safe!
Only one question........Will you marry me?!
Canadian Trucker from British Columbia Canada and loving what I do.
I have been to almost every Us State as well because of the cargo I haul.
Keep on trucking Lexie, Your doing great.
Hello from Texas. It is so cool to see you do the things that you do specially, with your concrete mix driving. I want to congratulate you keep it up you can do anything you set your mind up to. I really love your attitude and your vibe you’re so chill blessings to you and your family. Doesn’t matter how you got the job the thing is you have it now you have to earn the right to keep it keep on doing what you do be strong be smart keep your head on a swivel specially in construction sites and in California traffic. I see your videos I get a little bit homesick. But I’m still glad I left California. Peace and love keep it up Lil Sis you’re doing great.
Your attitude and work ethic are the blueprints for success in the real world. Thank you for sharing and keep trucking. 👍
This is hella interesting, you've got a fun, and novel concept that's authentic AF. Let it blow up, you've got a good product here! Subbed.
Your being led and heading the right way.
Keep on keeping on.
In some cases, no matter what you do, there will be haters. Keep doing your thing girl!
Great video!
Keep up the good work I know you're making yourself and family proud of what you are doing.
That’s So Awesome!!
Your Family Will Take Way Better Care Of You Then Just Any Company!!
I’d Make That A Career!!
You Go Girl, You Got This!!!
48 Year Career As A Driver And I’m Retired Now And I Loved It!
Personally I think you’re awesome, and an inspiration to other young adults out there. You have a good head on your shoulders, keep it up kid😁👍🏻🤟🏼
Having worked for my dad and uncle for a few years when I finished high school. It's a great opportunity, why not do it. People are just jealous. Great video and thanks for sharing your life's journey. I look forward to your videos. Glen
It's not easy to wake up everyday at 4,15-4,30..... Congratulations it's a hard work, but you are rocking it!
Happy to see your abuela around. Your videos are great. Muchas gracias !
I am happy you always speak up for yourself!!!
Way to go. Love your videos.....
Aw thank you so much for your comment!!
Keep doing what you’re doing if you like it and you’re happy. Working with family is a blessing I also get to do that everyday.
I have no idea how I ended up on a Concrete Mixer video channel, but I love this. Good job!
Awesome for you. Learning a career from your family. Nothing wrong with that. As long as you are happy, that is all that matters. I just subscribed to your channel. 😁
Excellent work, drove mixers for over 15 years in Vegas keep it up girl your're doing great!
You're an amazing young lady.. Keep up the good work. Not that many young people I would say that appreciate the opportunity that you have. You're learning a business and you have knowledge. There's always a future for everyone. Your dad knows his daughter. You're still young plus the confidence that your dad and brothers trust in you,make you a strong independent woman. You can handle anything that comes your way. Your Spanish and English is perfect . Keep up the great job. Keep striving you got this.💪🙏❤
Yo it’s actually a good thing she doesn’t have any social media… Social media can be very toxic and can distract you from achieving whatever goals you have. I have IG and Snapchat but I haven’t used them in well over a year at this point and it’s way more peaceful that way. Keep doing what you’re doing little lady… 💪🏾
Congratulations! I feel like the fact you don't use social media besides YT has helped make you who you are today. Good job.
