Last minute load... not a fan 

Been there, I hate catching that last load watching everyone going home. Keep at it!

Wild to see only 3-4 loads a day! I’ve taken over 180 yards alone in a day!!

How can you tell when a dispatcher is lying to you? When his lips move!! Lol

I drive for a small plant, only 5 or 6 drivers, there's the one driver who comes in last and somehow always gets done first.

I'm in the same business. I dont understand why they cant have 2 shifts. Why make people come in at 12am or 3am and work till 6pm or later? Have some dedicated guys, new guys low on seniority, start at 9am and work to finish so the early guys can go home in the early afternoon.

I once had a job where I had to be an hour and a half away from home by 6 am. I had to be up by 3:30 am. I lasted a month. I fell asleep on the thruway and was awaken by the rumble strip. Never again.

LOL--- Man, you really called it; Curb jobs with a manual is a WORKOUT. Even though you're in granny gear it's still to fast for the curb machine. I'd get requested because I happened to be pretty good at it (not bragging. you GET good when you do it long enough!), so it was like nice for my bosses to hear contractors request me, but no mixer driver I've ever known "likes" a curb job. We'd like to have PUMP jobs all day! Paradise: 3pm and you get a nice pump job...or a wheelbarrow job; 10 yards, and 3 guy wheelbarrow brigade...probably be your last of the day...or not. Another job I think most of us dreaded was the Basement pour where the guys have a chute (or what they call a chute) sticking out of this little window. These sometimes took so long that the mud would start setting up. You told the contractor, "Hey, it doesn't matter how much more water we put in, it's been in there too long. We gotta get this off." Man, it would take forever to get those clumps down from the top of the chute and the sides. A good driver knows when he's come upon a crew that is not working well together. I would jump down out of my truck and say, "Who has the fuzzy nuts on this job? Cause you two are both giving me different signals, Ok?" That's all it took. One guy would take over and we'd get along famously after. Ahh, sorry for going on so long...I guess I just miss it. I'm retired now. But some days I'm driving, doing an errand for my wife or whatever and there's a mixer or a dump truck with a load of asphalt (which I used to haul in Florida early '90's), I'll follow along, especially the asphalt, that SMELL...reminds me of those 12 hour days hauling that 300+ degree asphalt in that blistering Southwest Florida sun in old R model Macks with no a/c...and it was a BLAST! Enjoy it, my friend...lap it up. Take Good Care!!

Hate it when dispatch does that, or at the last minute tell you to go to another plant lol

Always annoying when guys are washing out and then you get back to the yard and they send you on another job …. It’s like why couldn’t you send one of the guys that are already in the yard 😂

Tough one great driver

THOSE LONG DAYS SUCK BUT GOOD DOUGH

Few things pushed my buttons more as a mixer driver than showing up to a job with a freshly cleaned truck and having someone put their muddy hands all over my chutes or fendors. One day I stopped pouring and made a whole crew wait on me while I washed my fendor off after someone put their muddy mag on it. Bruh, I don't throw mud at your f-250, don't get my stuff dirty when you don't have to.

Did it back in 1992 thur 97 back then we had old mixers no A/C plus standards trucks we would go in at mid night 12:00am get off around 7 or 8 pm no safety hate it found another job , y'all got High Tech mixers

don't know when your day starts or ends until about the end of the day or when the next days schedule comes out ,operating a mixer is more than a job its a lifestyle . basically you are no more than a truck part if you don't perform as expected you WILL be replaced like a head light . be safe out there everyone !

when jobsites are hard to get to because of dispatch not updating the location have them drop you a pin

Switching from foodservice delivery (sysco) same money less work...I wish they had automatics. Your videos are fun to watch

Driving a mixer is a great career! I was making 75,000 a year way back in 1991. That's not counting the extra 500 to 1000 a week I was saleing in leftover! In 2001 I was making 27.50 hrs plus 500 -1000 a week in leftover! I lived & partied like a Rockstar!! Mixer drivers has to rely on illegal drugs just to survive the 90 to 100 hours a week we were required to work! The drivers that didn't indulge in illegal substances didn't make it!!

You're lucky that crew is letting you pour a curb machine at a 2. Ive had to deal with a curb machine crew who pours at a 0. Leave the drum on full discharge, and it still takes an hour for 10 yards...my clutch foot is numb by the end of the pour.

Oh i dont miss concrete “schedules” lol

Oh man. I wish I only ran 4 loads a day. We normally have 4 loads done by 10am. I think I average 9 or 10 daily. We are way understaffed and over booked.. it kind of sucks.

yeah, that's my #1 complaint about this job: U never know what time u will get off.. and never know what time u will start! fuck!... But other than that, it's a pretty good job

Last time a customer tryed to add another load when the batch plant was shut off he made alot of calls until manager called and asked me put the truck under i was ready to clock out so i took it so wet it looked like pump wash customer didnt reject it because it would of been over an hour to go back and forth and he really needed the load. This is a guy that pulled this crap all the time since then never again has he done that

What exactly is the curb thingy lol. I have not had the joys to do such job as of yet.....

Whats up with all those drop down axles on those mixers. Here in Florida our mixer only have 1 drop down.plus do fuys even have air down system like a tire a boss

I do this for a living, why in the hell am I watching this?

30 on a mixer in north jersey. The co. I worked for, You sell concrete you look for a new Job. Is 50 bucks worth it 😢

How can you tell how much concrete is left in your drum after a pour when you have left overs

I do 4 sometimes 5

24:37 HOW the fk did u run out of water??!! wtf dude HOW?!

is this a good career within trucking, to get into for the next 30 years? im out of ontario canada.thnx

Are those headphones or something else?

Any new videos coming?

Lots of water, what if you have to pee often? It doesn't look like you can, unless it's in a bottle in the truck?🥴

You are being forced to break federal hours regulations if you work more than 14 hrs and or if you do not take a 10 hour reset.

Find a better job! This one will always take advantage of you and cheat the you of your life. You can do better.

I’ve just been hired how many hours can you average in a day? And how much can you make a week?
