- Hiiii! Are you guys proud at how consistent I’ve been? I’ve definitely given myself a Pat in the back 😅
I had so much fun at this job I decided to give it its own spot light.
A concrete pump hose explodes in this video which was crazy to see 😳..
And of course thank you guys for 15k! What a milestone. Have a great weekend

you understanding that different trades have different risks and seeing you move the pipe a little because of the friction makes me so proud and gives me hope in this generation, your parents are proud of u lexie!
There needs to be more women like you on the UA-cam/Internet. I have told my girlfriend to have her nieces start watching you. To drive a concrete truck in the Los Angeles area, takes some courage and definitely skill. Keep crushing it.
Well said comment and advice for youngsters.
Ha, I used to drive and I wouldn’t do what she does in LA.
Most people who don't have a CDL don't know how hard it is to drive
@@stopdacap2991it is dummy.
I use to tag along with my late father when he was driving his truck and man he made it look so easy even though it was hard for me to learn
It’s really not hard. 4 wheelers make it difficult and annoying though
I do it every day. Nothing hard about it
It's not hard. Other drivers and bs at shippers and receivers make it hard
14:05 😂😂 Lexi lowkey hiding from the Tesla car
You seem very kind. Don't let ANYONE take that from you
I applaud you Lexie!! I was a teen volunteer firefighter, so I got my CDL quite early. Decades later, when I moved to another state, the examiner at the DMY looked at my license. Under classification it had "A-C". He asked what that meant. I told him I used to drive fire trucks. He asked if I still drove fire trucks. When I said "No", he took out a pair of scissors and cut my license in half. By the way, the fire trucks my town had were manual. With the exception of six years, I have driven manual all of my life.
It’s nice to drive big trucks in the weekend less traffic
Definitely what I look forward to on Saturday pours 🤩
lol me to…and I’m down here in sw Florida traffic is crazy during the week everywhere I guess! I love driving my dump truck in the weekend so nice😎
You’re so uplifting , positive and an amazing driver … beautiful as well
2 much Rizz
This young lady is 1 smart and strong person, do your thing girl
"no restrictions" Best CDL to have. Great skills, job, attitude.
C-AX DOUBLES no restrictions you can drive about anything
I love this kid. shows there is hope for America.
I love seeing more women go into the trades and professions often performed by men. Good job on breaking barriers!
she not gonna let u hit nephew
I could care less as long as you can do the job
@@callmegod100 you’re completely taking my comment out of context if you think I’m being inappropriate. Go find someone else to pick on who is legitimately out of line.
It is nice when a capable young women like this is involved... however, it's also not so nice when someone is hired that really can't do the job and they get special treatment because it fits the narrative.
No
Man I couldn't believe how hard it can get driving a concrete truck in LA. And with the way people drive there too.
You can drive that stick better than A. J. Foyt at Indianapolis 500. Don't worry about those other people getting mad. They don't know what we all here on U Tube knows about you and that is you are an amazing worker and person. A giver in a world of takers, that's what you are. This world is lucky to have people like you in it. Take care.
Hi lexie love the camera view of you driving the truck and changing gears .
Thank you! I realized i never recorded myself shifting gears and it’s honestly one of my favorite things about my job😅 glad you enjoyed it as much as I do!
NGL, just found your channel today because I recently got a new job that revolves around soil&concrete testing. I’ve binged 13-14 of your videos today since today was my off day.
Welcome to my channel! How’s ur job? I was looking into doing something similar next
@@lexflowaz it’s pretty interesting, the company I’m with has me out on their biggest project out in a Power Plant testing soil/ash moisture density. If it’s slow out in the field I just run back to the office and go help out in their lab doing similar test that they need to be done.
@@adamsngoun that’s cool, what certifications did you have to acquire if any?
Did they hire you without prior experience?
@@biggates7303yes only because I knew someone who works at the company and my boss I love seen around at the local gym so yeah.
Do your thing Lexi! Be that beacon of hope of the new generation of truckers. Just like the motto goes if I can do it you can too! Keep going. And break down those barriers!
Good thinking checking those hoses. Thanks for sharing your trucking journey
Good to see a Sista in the Construction industry doing a Guy’s job and not scared to get dirty! Yesah! Aloha!🤙🏽
Rajah dat 808 villajah lookin...
I always hated doing curb pours in a stick . You just be on the clutch for a long time . Good workout, thou. Just remember to float the gears coming from a mechanic done to many clutch jobs ..lol
Really good content. I like that you leave in the sounds of the truck doing work and the little edits. The spray bottle noise made me laugh.
The damn when they separated that section of hose got me.
Thank you!! I try to add a little humor in there so it’s not so boring
People never want to be inconvenienced, I experienced it all the time when I was laying asphalt. I have mad respect for you, driving that truck and the places you have to put it. You got skills.
It must be Saturday, because Lexie's in my feed! Yay!
As always a real professional job, as always.
I live how the men always treat you with such respect
on the job sight.
Have a Great/Safe weekend, Lexie!
Thank you for your comment! I like that too! I don’t think I’ve ever been disrespected or felt uncomfortable by anyone at work, and it’s something I always get asked but I think it has to do with how I approach people as well, which is with professionalism.
Thank you for your comment, have a great and safe weekend as well
@@lexflowaz
Well sure you're a Pro, and they see your skills. I also think most workers have a Daughter, or a Sister too. As pretty as you are, I think if anyone acted inappropriately, they would catch Hell real quick. lol!
Very proud on the consistency on your vids Lexie,way to go ….keep up up the great content,and keep it coming..alohaz 🤙🤙
Thank you!! Have a great weekend
I love what you’re doing! Keep up the great work out there!
So happy to see another post!! You do deserve a pat on the back! Pretty amazing how much pressure there was/still in their line from the pump truck! Pretty dangerous when it blows! 😵 I’m glad you stayed back away from the line when it blew!! That’s pretty cringe 😬 Love your humor when you add the sound bites in your videos! Keep up the great editing and can’t wait until the next one!!! TC 💓
YAY! Keep these videos coming Lexie! Love every minute of your work. I feel the same way about cars, I drove a tandem axle dump truck for about 3 years in the Wash D.C. area, people in cars don't realize how close they come to dying when they cut off a truck.
Thank you for the comment! Have a great weekend
@@lexflowaz SuperStar!
Everyone in my company has new automatic trucks. I’m one of the newer guys so I drive a stick shift. And I feel you. My truck seems way older than yours too. And anytime I’m driving over 8 my trucks struggles to even get to a good speed lol
💯 jealous of where you work... why more fun then a home office 🎉
I like how her ass leaves the seat when she clutches and shifts😂😂
Ha, mine does too.
You are so awesome Lexie!!! I'm loving your videos so much!!
Love the added noise effects makes it so much better❤😂 you go girl you rock!
Good job, perfect timing smooth shifting no grinds. Shout out to your instructors and teachers at El Monte Trucking School
Love your driving and shifting skills, great video.Good job.
Love the boots. The concrete eats up shoe laces. Looks like you do a good job shifting on hills just never stop at a stop sign on a hill unless you have too, spilling concrete sucks and don't ever worry about stuff that is out of your control, blocking streets.
Nice job editing! When I saw them busting the hose apart it reminded me of two jobs years ago. One was at a college, and they had to run the hose through their library to get to the spot they were placing the concrete (some fancy interior columns). Even with all the precautions, plastic, tarps, and so on... one section of hose burst, and concrete went everywhere. Huge mess but no one was hurt. The second wasn't so funny. My friend was running a 38m boom when a hose burst and cost him his right eye. No safety glasses and it caught him right in the face. Even though that's extremely rare, I'm always leery around them now.
Dang you make them shift looks smooth I been driving for a month now still be grinding every once in a while definitely getting better tho
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂😂You are too cute… When you ask everyone, “That’s better, right?” 😂😂Great job!!! Keep up the great work!! That’s a lot of stress and yes, a lot of responsibility!
Love seeing what you do from your perspective but would appreciate some explanation as to how your truck works and what you’re doing to operate it. Like what are the gauges for, the buttons you push, the levers you pull, etc. to get the cement out and what you do to get it ready once you arrive at the job site. Thanks! Do you have help editing because I’m impressed!
Hi happy Sunday, that sounds like a good idea, I will definitely make an in detail explained “how to” video!!
You're very inspiring ✨️ thanks for the great shots
I drove barrel truck for a short time, never got used to having that concrete in the barrel constantly shifting. And I drove way back before pumpers started coming on the scene.
Gotta love the hustle 12:55
thats literally me
Hey giirl! Love your smooth shifting. Brings me good memories from my truckin days lol. Keep it up pretty one 😁
Beautiful, relaxing, and therapeutic.
Lexie - Your thumbnails, video editing, text/photo overlays, and especially the sound effects (adding some comedy), "Es muy buena"! You are becoming a good story teller. The low angle gear shifting scenes were also good! I see that some of the camera shots are reversed or backwards because you are using the phone's front facing camera. You can fix that later or 'flip it' in a laptop video editing software so it's normal video (not backwards). Other option, before you shoot video, in the phone's camera settings, you can make video shoot normal. Research on internet, How-to's ... but do not worry about it. With time & practice, you will develop into a more talented content creator 🎬🎥😎
Got a rosary like that in my whip too!!
Dang, I just found your channel last night (May 19th) and I really like what I'm seeing. And then bam...you're rolling right past the Truckin' For Kids Truck Show in Irwindale! I was there that day and Sunday! I live in Arizona east of Phoenix and I go out to that Irwindale truck show every year. I actually have videos of some of those trucks you showed as you rolled by and will be posting them soon on my channel. Yesterday I posted video of the orange tow trucks that you can see behind the wall at :34. Small world...I just wish I knew of you and your channel before I went there. I would have tried to get video of you as you rolled by! 🤠👍
That’s kew. I think you’re making cement truck driving kewl again.
You have awesome work ethic. Definitely doing the trade proud
Great driving and editing of the videos too! Fun to watch
Love that driving video that you made.You shift those gears perfectly!!Love from ct.
Love the shifting angle of the video. I have always run an 18 speed Road Ranger trans in my trucks. Good for you.
I am so glad you enjoy your job. most people don't. I love my job , I've been doing it for 30 yrs. keep up the good work, it will take you a long way.
I only know like 3 people around this age group that are really getting after it. Keep grinding thank you for your hard work.
You shift like pro Lexie! Good job, and enjoy the longer video 😎
Yes it was a truck show at the irwindale speedway, on sat and sun. Its was a good show, did you go? There have been a couple of mixers at the show in the past. Nice to see a girl driving truck!
There are quite a few female mixer drivers where I worked in California.
Lexie thanks so very much for sharing this information with us I really appreciate it please keep on making your videos
Employee of the month! !!!!
Good work fun video to watch. Thank you for sharing. Awesome.
Wow! I wish I had a Lexie
Camera angle of shifting gears on point! and to those giving you the business of incorrectly parking, look at them like "NOT MY PROBLEM!" lol Thanks for Sharing Lexie p.s. have you upgraded your camera?
I knew a person in Miami fl who drove a concrete mixer for 23 years, he told me that it is to dangerous job, so a lot of experience
love the shifting gears, you should do a foot pedal cam as well
That cool you can drive that big monster in the city. I love pov of you shifting those gears.
i find find this fun and interesting to watch, i love driving them big trucks miss driving them but thank you for sharing your jurney realy enjoying your channel
New subscribers here, its a different prospective watching the delivery part. Thanks! Great attitude and content!
The shifter view was great!
You get it Lexi shout to you and yours much love on this journey!
Very cool, you got it! I barely passed my CDL and did some training driving a stick shift crane truck. For a newb like myself with no experience it was pretty hard.😅
that was pretty gnarly when that hose blew apart. a lot of weight and pressure, could've pretty easily taken someone's leg off or worse. good on you for keeping your distance.
It's crazy to me how much trailer pumps are used in the bigger cities. We use ours a decent amount but mostly the booms.
Good job Lexi! You know how to drive that big truck. Wow! Yer a pro bro!😎
Hi Lexie, just subbed from the UK, love your style and your videos !!
Great job 👍🚚
Good work lexie👍
13:10 should of put the song called “I've Been Working on the Railroad 🛤️” 😂
Lexie I'm learning Spanish and it was fun to hear you speak in Spanish to the workers and be able to understand most of what you all were saying haha
the videos are getting better and better
That was a little sketchy with that hose uncupling 😮 glad no one was hurt !!! You rock young lady ❤
I’m sorry to bother you but I just wanted to let you know that @ 43 seconds in your eyes in that sunlight just make you seem like an animated princess, I love your princess like features and the work you put in is truly inspiring. ❤
Adding extra water in hopper at beggining of pour and just before emptying on a round trip helps not get plugged in hose.
That hose machine is amazing. American technology.
This is some good chill content I respect the work 🫡
lol the spray sound
Everything you touch turns to gold nice to see your work and what you create with so much care it should be lexxi concrete they would sell more yards
I liked the short montage intro it was pretty quick and breezy ❤️
You seem to enjoy your job and I just have seen about 2 videos. They give me confidence in doing things I doubt myself to. You may not know but you’ll definitely be a great instructor or more!
You can have a 5 inch slump mix at the truck and have it come out of the end of hose like presto logs if hose is in the sun.
Next time you have the hood open . Look for a sticker on the top or topside of the engine.
Look for maximum torque rating. It should say something like: Max Torque (number) at (number) RPM.
Then next time your on the interstate run that engine at that RPM number.
You may gain more speed.
Can’t have you out there a sitting duck 🦆!
Damn that’s a long pump. Good job
Just started watching your videos and now my UA-cam recommended is all about concrete. Kinda funny but it did show me some company that is making prefabricated concrete houses that was pretty interesting.
Stay safe out there nice lady. Keep up that hard work.
Loving the vids. I would help my brother pump in the early 2000s was fun never know wer we end up all over valley near beaches or Beverly hills, it was always an adventure. Ur vids take me back to good times. N the cement driver all cool guys. Safe adventures
I like your high top vans, those are the ones I rock as well, Sick 🤙😎
another great video keep up your great work young lady
Nice job! You actually care about your job, I know other people older then you that would stand there and look at it and not do anything to try to prevent that like you did.
Bet you concrete boys never thought you would hear *”cuz that’s making like a SiiXxx”*
8:18
Great job
That camera position on point. Bottom up!
Impressed
