Pump jobs make life easy!
We had an easy Friday to finish off a very busy and very hot week. We poured with a landscape company, and poured concrete for two foundations. Happy Friday!
I started this channel after I began driving cement mixer trucks in Eastern Washington. As a cement mixer truck driver, I enjoy watching trucker videos but rarely came across local truck driving jobs like cement trucks, pick-up and delivery, and construction. Judging by comments and questions I’ve seen on other truck driving channels, many people don’t realize that there is a side to the trucker lifestyle other than long haul OTR driving. I am excited to bring more truck driving content to the genre. I hope you enjoy it!
Please let me know in the comments what you like, what you don’t like, and what you’d like to see more of as I continue making videos. Thanks!

Pouring curbs... All day...
Переглядів 29 тис.2 роки тому
Today we had curb jobs. Lots of curbs. Curb machines are easy in an automatic, but you still have to pay attention to your slump. If the concrete is even a little too wet, the contractors can't use the mud. So getting the water right is a must!

Another 13 hour day in the books. I had a top secret job today, but that wasn't as stressful as staring at a low fuel warning for 45 minutes. We poured a pool deck and added color.

Mixer truck blows tire; fully loaded

I thought this would be just another day driving mixers... I've never had a tire blow out on my truck, let alone a steer tire. Concrete mixers are notorious for flipping, especially when a front tire explodes. I count myself extremely lucky that this situation wasn't worse...

Road Trip! Pouring concrete long distance

Pouring two driveways, dumping the extra

Concrete Truck Pouring: Tight Spots and Big Pumps
Sorry. A front is a front discharge 6 wheel drive truck, 11 yards. Driver controls the discharge and lays concrete out as they reverse and lay concrete out with they're joystick
Take a challenge. We pour the concrete. Takes 1 or 2 less people. I lay you a consistent pour with 1 to 2 inches of grade with no puddling. Drive a front and take a challenge.
I’ve seen your content before and your videos are badass. Everything from the editing to the different camera angles both in and outside the cab. I like the name of your channel and yes I agree you are a Trucker. This is the Construction side of Trucking that most people don’t think of when you think of a Truck Driver. Keep up the great content. You’d also be a good trainer.
The camera on your head is sickening.
Rear discharge suck front discharge much better I’ll take my Oshkosh any day
Awe. She was sitting out there waiting for Dad to get home. No matter how shitty of a day, seeing your baby waiting on you when you get home makes it all worth it.
I start driving a mixer next month. I'm nervous as shit, but it looks like fun
I once had a job where I had to be an hour and a half away from home by 6 am. I had to be up by 3:30 am. I lasted a month. I fell asleep on the thruway and was awaken by the rumble strip. Never again.
a busy man, all girls!!!
Like your videos and how you explain your job. I drove a mixer for 43 years before I retired. I never did mind going to a curb machine too much, They usually had good crews there. Until the last few years I drove manuals, MaxiTorques and Roadrangers. A little ticklish on steep hills but everything went Okay. Looking in your mirror, looks like you're pouring for a good crew.
Ok, so I am two years late seeing this video, but because I start in 2 days as an Agi Driver, I am seeking out as much info as I can. I've learned more in this video than the last six UA-cam videos that I've watched. Now a subscriber and thank you.
As a 38 year veteran of Chicagoland mixer driver I seen alot . Funniest was I saw a driver lift his booster wheel and grab the dust bonnet . Then, drove to the job empty . Or tried until they got him on the radio.
man i was often in that situation!!!
I run a 3600 comaco they make life easy. Once in awhile we get inconsistent mud and gotta jerk out the mule and assholes and the elbows it is.
Dude I don't know you and I stumbled across your UA-cam... I can tell you right now you suck as a driver you do not even start kissing the feet of Lexi the concrete driver from California..... That is a real driver knows her shit, she will drive the concrete truck all the way to the stubbs.... Get a life dude and get off my UA-cam
Just letting you know, you need a lot a lot of sugar for 10 yards like try 5-10 of those packets, anyways you didn’t even need the sugar I drive for cemex in Arizona where it gets 120 out here, plus your mud was holding the slump so you didn’t need it
Choppy and difficult to watch, work on your videotaping skills.
Typical driver, crying about OT
Question. On a volumemetric cement mixer truck, what happens if you mistakenly put sand on the stone side?
First off it's a concrete mixer.
them placers cant afford wheelbarrels?
Hello im new driver and just wondering do you do the cirle check or is it someone else
Yes I can ever be in a few days ago I can get together for dinner tomorrow night love you want to
Malique mas ectu a lot of work to do with it to help with that and I will be in the 🏡🛌🛌🛀
Silica powder
He stopped making videos cause he was fired! Was smuggling concrete to contractors for a cut of their jobs profit..
Nice
OK, so you floated down a gear. But supposedly how without moving your foot over to the throttle from the brake pedal?
I'll leave it to the pros
You're lucky that crew is letting you pour a curb machine at a 2. Ive had to deal with a curb machine crew who pours at a 0. Leave the drum on full discharge, and it still takes an hour for 10 yards...my clutch foot is numb by the end of the pour.
I hate when they park their vehicles in the way of maneuvering.
cool👍👍👍
I’m in training at the moment- trying to learn more as I go watching your videos- thanks from Los Angeles California 👍
How are they training you just to get an idea.
If I've learned anything from the concrete videos I've watched, that's about a 5 inch slump..
Did dude run off with your chute scraper? 😂
downshifting on hills is fine if you go for an extra gear lower, and gives you the time needed to make the shift . ex) 4th to 2nd, cheers!
Enjoy the content
So many questions: 1. What if it’s raining, how does the rain not affect the “slump”? 2. When you rinse it out how does it not harden and mess with the ground you are rinsing it into? 3. When the drum spins faster or slower does that affect the slump too? 4. Thank you.
I don't do what you do but I find it interesting! Curious how you clean the "inside" of the drum? Flush it with water after each job like you do the fluke?
Out of all the jobs you’ve worked for is this the best one. I’m thinking about switching jobs
Do you like the automatic truck better than the stick shift?
Thank you so much! Just got hired as a ready mix driver. Trying to learn as much as I can.
Modest hard working man 👍
hey brother, i'm a retired mixer driver from nyc. i put 37 years in with one company. we were union and i got a nice retirement out of it. i really enjoy your videos.they bring back alot of good times. i quess the job is really the same no matter where you live.
Man, I miss drivin mixers. I was a 6x6 driver. Of all my driving and non driving jobs, mixer was the only job i wish i coulda held out a few more yrs. Things woulda gotten better. My last season i made $12,000
When the pump workers tell you it needs more water and you pull that valve, is there a gauge to show you how much you gave?
That"s a long way to make a turn........
Silly question why are you wearing rubber boots?
Hope all is well with you and yours sir. I believe its normal to hate working at any job. Im sure maybe you thought that the youtube content creation would go better. i was too. its wild to think that if you have your tits and ass hanging out of your clothes youd have hundreds of thousands of views and subs. unfortunately you chose to stay modest lol. keep it up thought and again bro hope you're doing well
I'm in the same business. I dont understand why they cant have 2 shifts. Why make people come in at 12am or 3am and work till 6pm or later? Have some dedicated guys, new guys low on seniority, start at 9am and work to finish so the early guys can go home in the early afternoon.
I am in the same business, and always wondered about this. Makes no sense to just beat on people.
