3 weeks in can't get through depth just right but did my first hand curb and nailed it on 1st day trainer told me none of his trainees could do it without guidance. Just don't understand why I can't get the depth right. I can pour out beautiful ribbons when pouting out leftovers. Was also told to never put that many chutes on if that close to the form boards as the apron gets stuck a d it pours over sides of chutes only happened to me twice but was a 4 in and 3 in slump and I believe 67 rock the bigger stuff haven't been taught all the differences yet.
mixing the concrete and cement is kind of like making cake batter you mix the cake mix with oil eggs etc. to make a nice smooth batter but you don't want to under or over mix the batter but you have to mix it to make a really nice cake :D
SantaFe19484 the only thing I can think is that it’s much easier to drive straight into wherever you are pouring as opposed to backing up to a spot? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rear discharge is better when doing interstate jobs because you can't back up in the road. Front discharge are definitely better when you can just pull in. I drive rear discharge. I like them better
I"m no expert but from what I have learned from talking to a few drivers is that the front chute mixer is able to be controlled by the operator from inside the cab of the truck. They are able to control it with levers/joysticks. The rear chute mixer has to be controlled by hand, which means it can't be controlled from the inside of the cab and the driver or someone else will have to move the chute around by hand. I hope this helps!
Other differences: Front-discharge trucks are all-wheel drive (not counting lift axles), while I haven't seen an all-wheel drive rear-discharge truck in 30 years (and those trucks were already 20 years old). The difference in off-road traction is night and day. They also have a much shorter wheelbase than rear-discharge trucks on account of the fact that the engine is entirely outside of the effective wheelbase so they are far more maneuverable in tight places. Combine that with the driver-controlled placement of concrete (higher speed of discharge and no need to waste a man for handling the chute) and there's really no comparison for any work except highway paving. Various people I have met on construction sites who come from parts of the country where rear-discharge trucks are the norm have always been thrilled at how much better they are. Those familiar with them don't give it a thought.
Not knowing that the mix is, I'd say thats probably a 6.5 - 7. It runs right out of the chutes almost like water. On my truck a tight 5 will run over halfway up the chutes when I have 3 on so its wetter than that.
I mean, people do strange things all the time without thinking. What if he backs into someone who went behind him because he is looking at what he is doing.
Willie Stowers exactly man, stupid shit happens because people are stupid. The truck has a back up beeper. If one can't hear that or see what's going on then, well, they're stupid
Imagine this but the cement is potato salad and you accidentally crush your step-daughters pack of cigarettes because you were trying to knock her up again
@@MudBuggy393 I'm not doubting you at all but I have found that even on a smooth running plant you'll get balls from time to time even if you leave wet and have a 45 minute drive, kinda the nature of concrete.
I'm a week in driving a cement truck. Great job. This is a skill that takes time to develop. This driver has some experience.
ya still pouring brotha
Good luck finding a concrete truck operator this good. He's practically doing the work for them.
I see operators doing this all the time. it's not uncommon.
He should have went side to side instead of all over the place. Bigger chance of a mistake moving back and forth
@@israeldoe8000 I agree with you Israel.
@@ConstructionMachineryChannel absolutely we do it all the time it’s not hard lol

Hi..I’m curious, is this seasonal type work? How are the hours? What kind of pay can someone expect starting out?
Wow this is great😃
You're welcome 0:23
Is that a self loading cement mixer truck?
O&G has great drivers. My friend has driven for them for 30+ years driving mixer. I also drive a mixer in Connecticut but not for O&G

This is exactly how I felt troweling the concrete slab I did the other day, felt like I was spreading icing on cake lol
I did this today and it sucked spreading it around
good job pouring
Nice video! Why do some cement trucks have the chute in the front and others in the back? What advantages and disadvantages do each have?

It is a concrete truck
Great job driver
Is the slump about a 4 or 4 1/2 ?
No idea. I just took the video for my 3 year old nephew. He loves anything construction related.
Looks like 6 or close 7
Close 4 half

Ya it's wet
what happens if someone walks behind the truck. That stupid shit happens all the time.
If someone walks behind the truck, they walk behind the truck. Not sure what your point is.

This guys terrible? What do you mean he did good?!?!? I drive a front discharge concrete truck. This guy must have been relatively new.
He done great. How long did you run mixer. I run one for 42 years. 13 years front end loader. Shitty mix with balls. Not a central batch plant

AND YOU STARTED OFF AN EXPERT,RIGHT??🤔🤔🤔
