As the barrel spins. These are the days of a mixer driver. Keep it between the ditches. Blow n go from one mixer driver to another. I’ve been in it for 25 years
Great videos bro, I'm going for a job as a ready mixer driver. I'm looking forward to it, but what's the winter like for work. I'm working for a large company, what will usually happen during bad weather
That's not the case at least for our plant. We don't add any additives in our concrete. Just straight cement, sand, aggregate, and water. Based on my experience, the slower you spin your drum the longer it takes for it to set up but if you mix the drum really fast, it makes it hot and set up faster.

@@hk5674oh, I spin my barrel about that speed all the time and I don’t have any issues ever. Maybe when it’s really hot out not as much but I’ve never had an issue

Barrel should be just turning a bit ! Slowly till your on the job ready to mix. Unless your trying to heat it up !
Great Dimitrie well done!
On the rise Top of the morning coffee and concrete!! 👍

Repo man, is also a cement truck driver?
Plus, how did you get away with recording this video, giving the fact that USA or semix has all those rules ..lol
Your drum is rotating too fast in transit, should be going 2 rpm max. Good job though 👍
It’s perfectly fine how fast it’s going
It should be slower, it also damages the drum in the long run
Whenever I make my mix a little too wet I spin the drum faster. It helps the concrete get hot and set up faster.
@@bobeternal9104 You should be slowing the drum to a crawl to dry it up

Just wondering why your spinning your drum so fast going down the road ?
He was going uphill with a 10 yard load. He was making sure the drum was spinning fast to keep the concrete from spilling out the back.

Damn the truck is old! 😅
That's like a 7 inch slump ..lol
how difficult is it to be a ready mixed driver? I am having an interview next week.
They’ll train you
Looks like you let pump get to low more than once 🤦♂️
I drive a mixer truck a Mack and it’s a piece of junk
