I used to service pools and always got annoyed at gardeners messing up the pools when they trimmed trees and shrubbery around the pool. Now I'm a gardener and I mess up the pools

If a pumper ever told me to clean his pump I'd fill his hopper and leave

“Clean my pump or I won’t start” “Okay, I’ll just leave and you can explain to the foreman why there’s no concrete in his forms.”

Drove a mixer for 26 years and never once did a pumper tell me to clean his pump😂🤣🤥

“Pull my hose” “clean my pump”😂😂😂

Best job is the owner sitting back at the office or with his family 😊😊

As a concrete pumper. I clean the living hell out of my pump. I try to be neat, and respectful of others property. I make sure there is enough concrete before I leave. And yes I do tell the guys to move my hose. I ain’t doin that Shit alone lmao

The finisher is the most important part in concrete my boy

I've literally never seen a concrete truck that clean unless it was new, thats crazy

All of this sounds mildly sexual to me and I am dying cause of it

"Pull my hose" "pumper made a mess, gotta clean up after him" "I'm not going to start unloading you until you clean my pump".....damn I had no idea concrete work was so freaky

For a moment, I forgot he was talking about construction💀

Worked as a pumper for 12 months- can confirm, no shits given

“I’m not going to spray until you clean my pump” That worker zesty asf. I would’ve told him “I guess you don’t want to get paid”

The amount of innuendos in this short is crazy

He's absolutely right. Everytime I say pull my hose in the office I get a phone call from HR.

"Pull my hose" -Pumper guy

Idk how I ended up on construction KZfaq, but dear god I hope I never leave

every pumper ive seen is more than 6’2 jacked and at least 300 lbs of pure muscle at least for industrial concrete jobs like huge warehouse’s its no joke lifting that pump up and down for 8 hours with 200lbs of wet concrete flying out the end

Pumpers love to spill concrete on grass 😂

Shows up blows a load of cement refuses to elaborate *LEAVES*

The pumpers on a jobsite I was on was soooo filthy dirty 😂 he had more concrete/stucco on him than the ground/walls 😂

You're the kind of guy that Hardhat Guy calls Mr. George about.

Im a QC/QA guy for a concrete corporation..started as a driver...LOVE MY JOB!

"So I had no choice but to start scrubbing and spraying while I unloaded"

so they're the electricians of the concrete world

I need to get my mind out of the gutter...

As an onsite septic pump truck operator, we have to do all that stuff, without anyone else. And we're also dealing with literal shit

The best job in concrete is to stay away from anything in concrete in the first place.

I worked as an apprentice pump operator for a company in Louisiana and can say 100% without a doubt this is not the standard. I learned that there is a lot of finesse that goes into putting the right amount in the proper spots but also to work with the guys around you and develop that respect to keep everything clean and professional. And never once did I ever see anyone other than the pump operator clean his own rig

As an infantryman in an armored unit, this just feels like an average day in the motor pool: cleaning up after the scouts, medics, mechanics, etc when they leave shit or make huge oil spills

Pumping is hard bro, you gotta care those heavy as hoses everywhere, unload and load by yourself most the time. It’s physically demanding.

This dude got some sus storytelling skills.. 🥵🤣

I love it. I’m a certified nozzleman for Baker ShotCrete company here in Denver Colorado. I love making a mess. And yes you’re right the finishers got a clean it up. I love my job.

I’ve heard the “clean my pump” quote only one time in my career, Everyone laughed at the pump owner, he received endless backlash and criticism from every direction and we never saw him again once he finished. He had to clean up everything that day since he was told he wouldn’t get paid if he didn’t.

A general rule of thumb in construction is try to make the job easier for the guys that do the finishing

your pumper roast is killing me hahaha 🤣 as someone who has worked on a very small 3-5 man crew and used a hell of a lot more wheel barrows than pumps I'd say lesson learned stay out of concrete work 🤣

This dude is the undefeated , low-key, assumption slinging , mad man.

Im one of these pumpers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As someone who’s done concrete for about 5 years a good pump guy is priceless not everyone can be one.

A pumper won’t last long if he’s not listening to the placers and finishers.

“Us poor drivers” 😂

Nah man, cement tanker. I haul Portland powder and it’s the most chill job. Drive to get loaded and sit under a spout, then drive back, hook up hoses, start it up, and just kick back for about an hour. Rinse repeat. I watch so many movies and KZfaq on the job 🤣.

Man I don’t miss concrete one damn bit 😂😂

Tells the guy "pull my hose"💀

I love finishing i find it extremely satisfying

I think it's safe to say this guy hates pumpers.

I think this is personal 😂

I felt attacked at the end like it was personal

Yeah, I started concrete at the age of 16 and I’ve done it all. I was a finisher first but then I took over the pump because if you have a good pumper, everything goes more smooth.

Everyone wants to hold the hose until the air pocket comes through the line

Ain’t no way the truck driver said this😂😂you deadass have time to film the TikTok during the pour

Dude, the pump truck driver is basically the same except he gets to play with a robot arm all day LMAO

Actually that's not the case in Morocco, the pumper here should pump the concrete in certain way because the workers are not forced to clean or fill after him so he should do the work properly

If a pumper ever told me to clean his pump before I unload I’m not giving him any concrete.

best job in concrete =best looking guy in the major burns ward.

Damnit these pumpers really need to control their pumps man!

As a pumper I WISH 😂 it would be nice if the drivers could keep the hopper full without overloading it …not blocking a 2nd mixer without being told…not blocking ALL THE TRAFFIC on a job or street SOUNDS CRAZY I KNOW!!! But this is why many mixer trucks have 1 seat so they can know where to sit !!!!!!😮

“We’re left to clean our own trucks” Kardashian sounding ass

The pumpers here lay out the hoses and get back in the truck until your done lol

I worked for my dad doing sidewalks and driveways. He was always pumping and dripping sweat the whole time. Once my older brother grew muscles (we were young) my dad happily gave him that job. It's a heavy hose full of heavy concrete.

but as the pumper u still gotta roll up that heavy ass pipe gotta have muscle

Wtf I can’t be the only one hearing this

This dude is definitely a finisher lol

i’m a project engineer for a GC who manages all parties discussed here. solid gig

“pull my hose?” sus 😂

I love this guy’s sarcasm, he knows how to get attention lol

“Pumper” shows up and says “pull my hose” then spills his liquid and the “finisher” has to clean up the “pumpers” liquid

Wow.... hard work involves hard work😢 such amazing insights

I would've laughed him right off that job dude. Clean his pump?? 😂

Out in canada, we're responsible for our own mess. If you walked on as a pumper and had this attitude, you wouldn't get many calls after that...

you cant just throw much all over the place and make a mess. trust me good pump drivers stand out from the rest fast

Idk about you guys but the person manning the end of the hose is usually always part of the finisher's crew and is named Jose. The actual pump truck driver, Hose B, just stands there with his remote controls watching had or verbal signals from hose handler Jose

Concrete mixer driver here. In Canada we don’t clean anything other than our own equipment and if you need to clean your equipment with my water you wait till I am done rinsing my shoot and fins then you can use (some) of the water from (my) water tank. If that shit happens here. My truck would of left with the concrete sooo fast. Never would seen me again.

You've clearly never ran a shotcrete hose. That is so intense. A pro makes it look simple and usually after the pour or shoot the guy running the hose jumps in and helps out with other critical tasks. He's far from a lazy laborer. I don't envy him at all.

Don’t forget about the guy screaming at you when you don’t pull the hose at the right time 😂 next thing you know, your foot is locked in rebar

Nah truck guys pampers got it good but the pampers that operate the trucks are living life

Here in Brazil, usually when building houses, there's no pumper, nor truck. There's only some guys, that receives R$50 (US$10,00) a day, that will make all the concrete, take it to the bricklayer in a wheelbarrow, pour it, and repeat. We call them "servente de pedreiro".

you wanna be the pump truck owner. around here its 950 for 4hr minimum, for a 30m pump truck. we needed them for like 20 minutes. it was well worth it otherwise we never would have gotten 10 cubic meters down in time with only barrows

Best job is a pumper. You pull up and say "guys pull my hose" Splash it wherever you want.

After 35 years as a finisher . I've seen good and bad pumpers. We kept bringing in pumpers we knew . Splashing, that's what plastic is for , protect what you don't want concrete on .

Nah the concrete tech just watches everything and takes samples

It’s funny how I just poured for the first time today and now I get this vid in my feed

I've worked with a guy who bought a "pump truck". he created his 1 man company and in 3years he repaid his loan for the truck and now he just work 4days a month

Pump guys make 1/3 as a finisher does ..that’s why

Bro I pumped cement once, it was the heaviest shit ever. After 3 hours my wrist were killing me and my legs were shaking. You wouldn't last a weak doing that

As a steelfixer I can tell you the driver has it was easier than the pumper. You actually need abit of fitness to use that pump. Drivers can barely back up there trucks properly and they do nothing but operate a truck then hose it down? Saying that driving a concrete truck is hard work is delusional.

I drive a mixer. If a pumper told me to clean his pump I would just dump my 8-10 yds on the job and leave fuck that noise

"Clean my pump" "Cancel the concrete truck. Got it. "

You ever tried dragging around a pump hose over forms and rebar? All the pump companies where im at have their guys drag it, clear it out with the air bottle clean it out etc. im not in concrete but id say anyone in the concrete trade whether its finishing, forming or puming has a tough job. Mad respect from a plumber!

“1 hand no looking”, “the finishers”

I threw my hard hat like a Frisbee at a pumper who blew the hopper all over my new truck. I got a 2 week suspension for that. Yes I hit him. Broke the hard hat. I still have it !

As a concrete finisher I’m not sure where you are but, on the east coast the pump driver works for us and they do as we tell them. Most of them have no clue about pouring,placing or finishing so they pretty stay quiet and pull their own hose. I’m sure the guys in the video probably feel the exact same way.

Hell no, this video ain’t right, my father has been a pumper for 20 something years and the times I had to help him he always did his best to maintain his own equipment. Actually, if he delegated anything pump related or lent someone his pump, there was ALWAYS problems with the whole system. It’s easy plug if the mixture isnt right. Dragging those heavy ass hose for prep, during the pour, and after it’s done was brutal too. The hose can explode and injure someone if not paying attention to the pressure. Also, taking into consideration of how the owners want you to pour and how far you’ll be from the actually site is also a factor too. The wear and tear from all the physical strain really takes a toll on the body. Dudes that only bring the “clean up equipment” generally only have to worry about tools when all said and done. Lastly, I had the chance to encounter lots of concrete mixer trucks and almost 99% never had a clean truck except for one guy who got a new one. As a summary: His job was the reason why I knew that work wasn’t for me. But also the guys who had to clean the mess had only really the job of showing up to help in the first place. No pump= no/less work for a lot of guys.

I don't know most pumpers own their pumps so they have to keep them clean regardless and I know most concrete trucks around here if the pumper said that to that to him he would tell him to f off

You had me at "Pull my hose"

Nah man. The pump guy probably has the hardest job in concrete delivery. Boom operators arent too bad, us drivers have the Cakewalk 😂

Having FINISHED concrete for a while I AGREE with you! BUT, the boss (company owner 30 years in business), would ONLY give you ONE CHANCE to make mess, show up late, not get ready before the mud got there (two brothers ran finish company, other two brothers drove for batch plants and dispatched for them (so our mud was ALWAYS ON TIME)). If you DID NOT, no matter how much it cost them, your pumper would not get a call for 6 months! We brought a pumper in from TWO COUNTIES AWAY, to pump a footing ACROSS THE STREET from a pumper who cost us a day cleaning up!

“ Clean my pump “?? I would have told him to do it himself tf 😂😂

Something tells me this guy is sick of pumpers 💀😭
