youre an awesome driver man.. im a pumper and finisher. making contact with the operator when he honks is such a nice thing for us

As the barrel spins. These are the days of a mixer driver. Keep it between the ditches. Blow n go from one mixer driver to another. I’ve been in it for 25 years

Barrel should be just turning a bit ! Slowly till your on the job ready to mix. Unless your trying to heat it up !

Rotate that drum a little faster. That load won't quite be hot enough when you get there.

Great videos bro, I'm going for a job as a ready mixer driver. I'm looking forward to it, but what's the winter like for work. I'm working for a large company, what will usually happen during bad weather

Your drum is rotating too fast in transit, should be going 2 rpm max. Good job though 👍

@maxbauman8029 4 ай бұрын

It’s perfectly fine how fast it’s going

@thinklikeakingpin6630 4 ай бұрын

It should be slower, it also damages the drum in the long run

@bobeternal9104 4 ай бұрын

Whenever I make my mix a little too wet I spin the drum faster. It helps the concrete get hot and set up faster.

@bcb0xer 4 ай бұрын

@@bobeternal9104 You should be slowing the drum to a crawl to dry it up

@bobeternal9104 3 ай бұрын

That's not the case at least for our plant. We don't add any additives in our concrete. Just straight cement, sand, aggregate, and water. Based on my experience, the slower you spin your drum the longer it takes for it to set up but if you mix the drum really fast, it makes it hot and set up faster.

Speeding your drum too fast. Air goes out. And it's not necessarily. You still have good two fins below the edge. ???

Just wondering why your spinning your drum so fast going down the road ?

@kerchner2009 3 ай бұрын

He was going uphill with a 10 yard load. He was making sure the drum was spinning fast to keep the concrete from spilling out the back.

Ready mix drivers make boring videos, no talent needed, anyone could be a ready mix driver that’s why you even see women drivers

@hddoug72 28 күн бұрын

I do believe that driving redi mix truck has gotten easier over the years... better equipment and more often than not your going to a pump job. A steady diet of footing/stemwall or hand formed curbs with jackass on the chute may give you a different perspective on the skill set required. Then there is the 100 post holes at the end of the day with a home owner.
