A Day in the Life of a Ready Mix Driver

Ozinga is lucky to have talented, professional and hard-working individuals on our ready mix team. Our drivers work tirelessly to get the job done, and they take pride in what they do. After all, they were born to build.
Whether you're interested in learning more about our company or about what a ready mix driver job entails, take a look at our video featuring our very own Mick Jansey.

I drove a concrete mixer for 5 years, when I first started the company was called Carrier Concrete, the family sold out to US concrete then the company was named Titan Concrete, I drove Mack and International mixer trucks and I even drove a old Ford mixer truck., If I could get my health back I would get my CDL and go back to driving mixer trucks.

Spoken like a true mixer driver. Keeping your equipment maintained, and a having a good attitude makes all the difference. This industry isn't for everyone!

[@randallaila6776]

Right on man. Start off in prayer good attitude 110 percent. Here on Oahu we need it in that order everyday cause it can get crazy here on this island that I live on. To many people here to much traffic it gets nuts on this rock

There are pessimists and there are optimists. Mick is an optimist. He doesn't let his circumstances dictate his behavior, its apparent. Ozinga has built a company with core values, and it shows in their growth and longevity in the marketplace.

I just recorded an Ozinga concrete mixer in Tinley Park. The driver was great and had no problem with us recording him.

your right about one thing it is all about attitude I'm also a trainer of our company you have to have a good attitude towards the rookies or they're never gonna stick around and once you train them make a good drive. that's a good feeling I've been driving or 27 years

I did it for two years in FL, back in 2005-2007. l was nervous at first, but once you get the hang of it, is not bad. Just rude customers sometimes. l plan to go back and do it again.

[@erazco6568]

That’s so cool I can’t wait to start my new mixing job

[@erazco6568]

Have you guys ever noticed most mixer drivers look run down and some pissed off! That’s because being a mixer driver you work 6 days a week and have different start times’ you don’t know when you start work and you don’t know when you get off at my company we get a text with our start time! Sometimes during line up around 2 we will get washed out and told to come in at 11pm and work until 11am the next day it’s hard because not everybody can go to sleep when ever and get up and stay focused all night most mixer company’s that run you to death toss you in a death trap truck to toss you around in the cab most of the time that helps you stay awake though
