@@banespeace9079ya but making one mistake shouldn't get you fired . If it's constant and dude isn't trying to get better that's a different story but a good worker who shows up is worth a mistake here and there. Finding a new employee and teaching him how to do it the way you want him to is harder than training up your current guy . Usually this kind of stuff happens because there is no communication he could've measured an area that he was told was gonna get poured or something could've changed in the fly only a shit boss would go and fire a guy for just this . That's why you double check and make changes if you need too

For real. Oh no someone made a mistake they learned from. Better get them out of the industry all together so the mistake can then be repeated. Meanwhile if dude lost his bet, he wouldnt quit his job for being equally wrong.
To a business. $1800 is a tax write-off and rather have spare concrete in case something unexpected happened to prevent less that good results. I've seen concrete work where they were short 1 section and have to wait few days later and another truck/mixer. Concrete never dried the same shade between the two.
for stopping a retardedly scummy scam artist who can't do basic math and charges 20% over? it took me less than 1 hour to figure out how much I needed for my shop and lift pads and decorative additions with zero experience. I was off 3/4 of a yard(literally the tiny amount left over after leveling can be that much) on a 112 yard job. not 10 yards OVER on a 50 yard job.
Yeah especially when it is probably cheaper to order 6 trucks than risk messing up a pour because someone made a mistake. Even he said that it was 50 yards, exactly five trucks with no margin of error.
I dont understand why so many people are here in the comments exploding like babies over the fact he told someone to fire another person, for fuck sake grow up already
@@GavinColeX This is the reason why The United States is falling apart. No one ever gets to learn, because the first time they make a mistake, they get fired and have to go do something else. It's like the Soviet Union where everyone has to blame someone else for any mistake so that they don't lose their job. And we know what happened to the Soviet Union. All of these corrupt faded empires will fall apart.
The contractor didn’t lose out on the last load. It was in his bid, the customer paid for it. It was probably also a buffer just to make sure he didn’t come up short.
It was a 20 percent overage, so it is possible that it was intentional for that reason. But as someone else has suggested in comments, that someone was planning to use the extra for a side project.
“Please fire the guy.” If one of my subcontractors told me that it’d get under my skin. I don’t know why, but it pisses me off just thinking about it lol.
because people make fuckups all the time. why the fuck should they lose their entire job. embarrass them abit with a chewing out, and move on itll teach em a lesson and if they continue to fuck up, they dont work with tape measurers anymore. going beyond that is just being making someone hate you and ruining their life. also telling someone to run their business lol.
Seriously? Chairs? That's the terrible job you're squawkin about, because there arent chairs in there?ok. I'll go watch your job and every time your guys step on the rebar and break the chairs then don't ever pick up on that rebar because no worries, it's got chairs under it... Your guys won't pay any attention to the rebar and my guys, who are extremely conscientious and actually pay attention and care about details, will have the rebar set mud slab and yours will have some on the ground underneath the concrete here n there.
After he made the deal he started loading the trucks with 8.50 yards and calling it 10 yards. And then said he didn’t have the load tickets from the plant😂🤣
Remember, this is the same guy that refused to raise the rebar off the ground when doing a concrete driveway, and then straight up removed the rebar when someone called him in it
Ikr man's really out here calling people dumb for making simple mistakes when he makes mistakes that are so easily spotted by anyone who has simply graduated highschool

You can’t return concrete that’s already loaded and hardening in the truck. It would’ve went more like this. “Oh gee Boss, we ordered too much concrete! Oh well, luckily I happen to have fully prepped and rebar-ed forms at my house for the new garage slab I was incidentally going to pour this weekend, how lucky, at least it won’t go to waste! Here’s the address, I’ll meet you there, I have guys on site already to do the finishing.”
Lmfao! "Return" the product... i have watched drivers pour out countless yards over the years into where the hell ever they could because "you ordered it, so you're getting it and i dont want to clean it". Return it... ignorance is bliss, when i was still running the company i had enough left over crap to build a block of homes at labor cost only because of those return policies you think exist. They dont take back any of that crap you had to special order.
@@EldritchPie I'm sorry, you seem to be under the impression that a contractor only deals with concrete. I'd try to help you understand this, but, low IQ is something I don't mess with.

You sound like the kind of guy that, when someone inevitably points out one of your mistakes, your response is most likely "But bro it's not that big a deal"
Yes it is so typical .contractors drama queens.abautely behave like woke idiots out there but on a different level. You know contractors know it all. They do crappy work and demand an arm and a leg but when they are the client they demand top work and cheap price.

They wouldn't even have been pouring if I had done the pre-pour inspection. The concrete Slump would have failed miserably for almost any paving mix design.
@@hmangutters9956 Part of My job is testing concrete for the strength and such and this looks to be probably between 9-12 inch slump which is way beyond the spec for what is usually poured for any kind of pavement anywhere
Was looking for this. I only did concrete for about two years for a massive company in the DC region. I was taught since day one, after doing all calculations, order an extra truck, but make sure the supplier doesn't load it. When you're getting close to the end, you can adjust the yards needed for the final truck.
I always estimate high, then when it comes in under at the end, the customer is always ecstatic. Telling the customer its actually costing 1800 less at the end, makes everyone happy.
err except thats not how it works with concrete, you order a 6th truck full of concrete you have to do something with it. the company wont be happy if you tell them you've got nowhere to put a entire load of concrete that will eventually set in their truck if they dont dump it somewhere. if you overestimate with concrete you have to have a plan for where youre going to dump that extra concrete. Youre better off getting exactly what you need an d little bit extra in case, not an entire truck load. plus it wont cost the customer less, they will have to pay $1800 for a pile of concrete dumped on their property.
@@ge2719 it would be obvious that the last truck is not needed before it is even loaded. Normally, they would orxer five plus a clean-up. The concrete supplier would get a call telling them if they two yards or ten is needed to finish.
They want to avoid having an extra truck because of the risk of not being able to unload the concrete. It could lead to a dry out in the truck totaling a concrete truck. The bet is something that if he wins motivates the guy to fire the guy who fucked up.
It costs money to move material, and that concrete was mixed and ready to go, so it has to go somewhere. So if it’s not used, that’s money out of his pocket.
@@himynameisbass3581 why would he order more material if he was confident that he only needed 5 ? Even getting the money for the 6 truck still ends up wasting the non used material. And what fkn person would just give away $1,800 because they guessed wrong at something they are uneducated about...this just sounds stupid.
@@himynameisbass3581 MATE WE GET IT, BUY CONCRETE, NO USE, NO REFUND 🤣... We're simple confused about the legitimacy of this guy's story bro. the event time line doesn't make sense G 🤌
@@mattiOTX you gotta be dumb as hell if you think a business like this couldn't take a $1800 hit. they have 10+ people. and why would having extra concrete cost a job ???
I think its a figure of speach. He was upset becouse he felt scammed even if he sayis something like that hes not believing that person will actually get fired but by escalating your complaint at the begining you have margin to deescalate from to actual results you want. Thats how you bargain. So what he wanted was that he will be not charged incorrectly and to press someone into accepting the deal which he got. I would have done(and did multiple times) the same with many diffrent situations ranging from wrong kfc order to 20+k$ renovation works.
@@n3rdst0rmconcrete can only set for so long. The 6th truck would be a loss overall for everyone besides the concrete plant, they just get the concrete back
@@n3rdst0rmThat's not how it works kiddo. There won't ever be a video game for this, so you may have to read a book if you want to learn how real world stuff works.
It blows my mind when people are so quick to want to fire someone they've never met or have no context of the "mistake" this guy probably wants everyone and anyone fired at first small mistake. You must be a perfect being! Edit: I get it that it was a pricey mistake and there is obviously a lack of context but I wonder if it was an honest mistake that happened rarely or if it's something that happens often. My best hard working employee has made mistakes as pricey but he's also made me 100xtimes with his help. It's important to know when to allow your employee to learn from his/her expensive mistake and how often it happens. My comment was based more solely on the way I've heard a ton of people speak so carelessly and pompous in such a casual way. I'm sure this is the normal way this guy talks often based on his videos.
Yeah hope he got fired. And he had a young family that relied on his salary. And they get evicted from thier home and suffer in poverty during the worst inflation in 40+ year's. Pft miscalculate in the cold. Then you'll learn.
Especially in setting up concrete! Sometimes the pour goes on after the concrete plant has shut down for the day and you can’t order another truck… THEN you are screwed…but had that 6th truck been ordered… It wouldn’t have mattered if that truck got unloaded at 8:15PM…. Still would have had it… Concrete is a whole other deal… that and epoxy/fiberglass layups( huge ones) on yachts n stuff.. best to do it all before it gels over…that way you got a chemical bond.. making it all one piece… instead of just a physical bond/surface bond…. Not nearly as strong.
I used to do from footing, yo form, and finishing....This story sounds crazy. Aint no way some migos did that. Them boyos know their concrete. Something here is missing
This crew was working for a contractor. The contractor had one of his employees measure for how much mud the job would take. He was off an entire truck. 9.5 yds is typical max load for mud. Nothing fishy.
No he tried to tell the guy and since the guy wanted to practically make a bet he matched him happens alot still didn't have to pay the labor time of like 2k
BS as a customer why would I pay you, just hire the other guy since the cost is the same? If you pour a thinner slab then it takes less crete. I know bs when I see it.
"Please fire whoever" is gonna be the last thing you ever say to me in this field because that's some overly aggressive bullshit and I'd never do another job for you You sound like a real treat to work with

Contractors order extra concrete because of grade variances. Its better to have slightly more concrete then not enough and have to wait. In big cities you could be waiting a while day because the trucks are booked out completely for the day
@@sicc_playboys_1383 10% variance is 5 yards..... thats more then half a truck. Yes I know a truck can hold 10 but they are usually about 8 yards in a typical truck. I've seen it time and time again contractors needing to order 1 yard to finish the job. Its better to over order and have waste then to not order enough and can't finish the job.
@@mattm3492 I miss understood you comment. I thought you were saying the extra truck was OK. An extra yard hardly ever 1.5 extra is acceptable. Your right.
Nice bonus man. Shout-out to Construction workers who build our needs and wants. I did a decade of commercial concrete and a few on specialty like the Alki-Metro tunnel in Seattle, broken back culverts Nebraska. Harder work than Farm & Ranch. I loved the grind of hard labor
@@ricardorascon88, Lots of people in the trades are interested in the other trades and want to learn about them. The more you know about the trade that's going to follow you, the better you can set up your trade . Example,,, concrete level for a ruff framing. Bricky, being square and level. If you know how to set up for the next tradesmen, word spreads, and you get more work!!
First off as long as a concrete truck has not been loaded and on the way to the job then you can always bring down or adjust the order. I've worked as a mixer driver for different companies. This dude just robbed the customer XD
@@niagarawarrior9623lol na, the contactor had already been paid for the mix and was planning on the money being spent anyway so he tricked him into paying him exactly what he planned to pay and had him stop talking.
In construction there's such a thing as having more than needed than short to finish the job. You don't want to always cut it down to last bit of materials, you want to leave room incase something happens, and something happens alot. Better safe than sorry. In this case the bid included 6 trucks so contractor even paying for extra truck didn't loose nothing.
Yeah one extra truck of concrete is not that uncommon. That can easily come down to opinion on just how much contingency they’re planning for. And I do know people steal materials from the job site all the time but concrete? Pretty hard to discretely divert 10 tons of concrete without someone noticing lmao
