I’ve been driving 5 years pulling a cement tanker but just got a job today slanging that mud so I have to learn the mixer side … appreciate your videos man salute from North Carolina
Awesome Big TYME! I also was driving cement tankers and I just recently got back in the mixer. I think you'll enjoy it. Just take it slow and be safe out there playa.
Sooner or later, Dimitrie is going to deliver to someone who does concrete quality testing, usually on big projects and anything government. In the NYC area most of the jobs have a concrete tester person (Certified as an ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician - Grade I). Those testers are independent, their boss isn't on site. They do a slump test and take samples. If the slump test doesn't match what was ordered then there's a problem - it can get expensive for the concrete company. I've seen some jobs cost the concrete companies truckloads of money. People think adding more water won't hurt - they're wrong, it can hurt (it's too complicated to explain in a UA-cam comment). The other concrete tests won't have results back for a month - that extra water you add today can show up in the test results that come back in a month or two - then come the bosses and then come the expensive lawyers. It doesn't matter what the guy accepting the concrete on a job site says, it only matters what's written on the paperwork. Get everything in writing, every change.
In the 31 years that I worked for the Same Ready-Mix Company we only had one Bad Break Test, but it wasn't the Drivers fault. We did Schools, Freeways, Multi Million Dollar Homes, County, City, PG&E, Multi Floor Buildings. We always added water when needed. Either on the Customers request or the Years of experience. Your not wrong, and My former Boss would definitely agree with what you said, but Speaking for myself, I never had a Load refused or Cost My company Money because I added Water.
Same here in Toronto. Builder buys , contractors pour it. Only one job in 12 years were the contractor bought the concrete. Totally different attitude there. It’s about the cost of FU’s. since Covid we use digital tickets. There‘s a box to cover how much water was added for how many meters. CYA is the name of the game.
Brother you are crazy.... There is only one good concrete driver in all of California it is not true partner.... The name of that driver is Lexi the concrete driver, you need to watch her videos so she can school you brother
