[@hillbillyharvey4605]

Seems like a fun job.but it Is deceptively hard on your body. You can look forward too tennis elbow. I sore back from the rough suspension. Sore knees from climbing the ladder . And a sour. Mood from dealing with nasty customers. Just when you had a good job or a good day , and you think the job is not so bad. You will have a day that will make you question your career choice.

That's a nice new truck. You're up in the LA area I'm guessing? I'm going on 35 years. We do "scrape and go" and charge the customer if no place to clean out.

For me as European I am wondering why having 2 meters of space from cab to mixer? Just unnecessary lenghtening the truck.

Good video, constructive criticism: some things could use explaining as to why you’re doing it. You’re speaking as if we’ve been doing this as long as you and know what everything means, but that’s not true. For example what the “boot” is at the beginning, or what the boost does or boost pressure. Keep up the good work

Will do Iam working on a video explains parts of the truck and the plant thank you !

Over here if drive on the roads your a target we got speed cameras everywhere and now some of our really nice driving roads have average speed cameras, our national speed limit for a roads is 60mph 70 for our motorways equivalent to your interstates it's a complete joke you get some idiot driving at 40 mph and you darnt overtake ,on our motorways most of em are 3 lanes you get jerks just sit in middle lane at 50mph it's not like us we not allowed to under take I've been to USA 5 times you lads are miles ahead of us in everyway think I might think about moving overthere 😅

[@hillbillyharvey4605]

Scrub your truck, scrub it some more, just when you think you're done scrubbing you gotta scrub it again. I've been doing this job for over 2 years and I have found out. It is hard on your body when you have bad shoulders and a bad back. Not the hardest job physically, but lots of awkward movements in this job. So there is lots of potential to hurt yourself. Also, it is hard on the back.As the suspensions are very stiff on these trucks.

[@dick6969100]

i dont think my boss would be happy taking all that time to wash down when we where doing maybe 10 or 12 loads to a pour and the plant was waiting for lorries lol

How many yards does that truck hold? Been doing concrete now for about 5 years at 23 years old and haven’t seen a truck with that much space between your “barrel or drum” and cab ever. Just curious👌 much love and drive safe 🙏

[@Mixermafia23]

These hold about 10.5 yards but they only load us with 10 but the space your talking about we did notice these trucks are longer than our mcnelius mixers those are a little shorter the one I drive is a contech when I first saw it I was wondering the same thing

Hey bro can you please explain the different slumps and how you change it, how much water to add depending on what customers are asking for ? Thanks

[@PaulSmith-lw7ph]

Guys always forget to lock their shoot and not just the button, but the actual lever that goes into the slot and then there’s a lot of guys that won’t use the chain for the flop over and I’ve seen those flip over when they hit a bump hard enough. Also three points of contact when you get out of truck been there done that gotten out of a truck and fallen because I didn’t have much of a grip on anything when you get out of Truck towards you’re likely to do the whole slip, trip and fall. But yeah, that was a good video .

[@penningtoncolin]

Thanks for the reply over here in uk our concrete trucks come in 3 sizes ,in metric sizes ,4 wheel truck carry 4 cube ,6 wheeler similar to yours 6 cube and 8 wheeler 8 cubes ,I know you guys in us use yards so not sure about your weights

[@Mixermafia23]

Yea we use yards max we can carry is 4 yards but I just looked some of those up and some other states have trucks similar to that here in California majority of the trucks look like this due to the weight of the truck and the weight the roads can hold over here and it’s California so there more picky 😂

[@ravemaster7405]

@@Mixermafia23 I do this in Idaho and we carry 10 yards. Trucks are usually at around 70k lbs. we do a bunch of offroad jobs and it's really sketchy. are trucks get stuck a lot and if you know a mixer truck you know it's an entirely different beast. These trucks will flip over just by you looking at it wrong.

unfortunately I can't help you because I am a UK driver, I don't know about american rules and regs, one thing you could do if you have no experience is offer to do a week without pay and if you can prove yourself as being capable and trustworthy to do the job make an agreement with the operator to take you on at the end of the first week, although, I don't know what operators are like over there and whether or not they would take advantage of you for free labour, approach with caution and good luck!@@user4667

Hello is this wheel base at the end for the weight? We in Germany have 2 main type of Concrete Trucks a 3 axles truck can load 6 Cubic Meter and a 4 axles Truck can load 7.5 Cubic Meter. They also have a big Drum what is able to load up to 8 or 9 Cubic Meter but its not allowed anymore. The washdown system with the buket is awesome, we dont have this. Sry for my bad writing.

[@tophauler8626]

why drop the tag during loading it could pick the tandems off the ground if the pressure is set for a 10yd load

[@Mixermafia23]

I stop them before they hit the ground we all load like that here to prevent the concrete from spilling all over the booster axle

[@Budlopes]

Also you can have your pressure set low and it won’t lift the axles.
