To all new operators pour slow use finesse. Listen to your customers and crew. Even when they want it fast go slow finesse makes the best concrete pours baby. Drive slow as well. On sight mad finesse take ya time and pay attention to the labor dudes. Soon you’ll be able to tell when your pouring for master craftsmen to New Jack players. Great video and knowledge Bro 💪🏾

Looks well over a a 6inch slump, but they were satisfied. In the plant there is no substitute for looking in the back and doing a visual. Great video Moe.

Thanks brother for your video about to start a job this Monday coming and this is very welcome video for me.

Bro I really enjoy your channel and videos. It's very inspiring and informative. Thanks from Miami, Fl. Salute💯

I’m a vet operator. I thought I was fine with Crete but the industry called me back Yo. Infrastructure work in Northern VA is busy. The pay has double since 2006 so I’m going back to driving concrete baby. This video is great because it’s giving me flashbacks of 2006 Brah. I’m back at it April 24th 2021. I also have my heavy Equipment Operators certification so I’ll be training in batching and yard work on the front loader as well. Great work brother’s from the DMV 💪🏾

Man you did a great video here, I have a job interview tomorrow and this video really helped me out a lot. Thanks for making this awesome video of what I might be doing if I get hired.💯

Love the videos man keep it up!

i love your attitude bro! so positive, i really dont know why u dont post anymore

Hey Moe, good work. I have been driving for Alamo Concrete in Corpus Christi for almost 10 years now. Drive nearly the same rig. Mine is a 2018 Pete, running a 10 yard, Beck mixer. We are also running the same Cubit onboard computer system for logs, truck insp. and load tickets. Small world I guess. Our plant runs 2 plants on avg. of 1,000 to 1,400 yards a day. Think were are allotted for 26 drivers, in the Corpus plant, but we seem to avg. 18-20. If I ever make it back up your way I may stop in and say hi. If you find yourself down this way, stop in. Maybe we can go deep sea fishing.

Thanks very Good..Again I'm watching all your videos Thanks

You have a clean truck man! I work really hard to keep mine clean its not easy sometimes

New subscriber here your videos really helped give me an insight into how this job is I just applied to a spot hopefully I get that call back

I'm just about to begin training for this job. Thanks for the intel, brother! Excellent vid.

Wow, you work hard and you have a skill; very impressive.

I appreciate your videos bruh. Looking to start with Argos down here in Atlanta next month. Before I go into a new industry, I like to study before I start. Very educational videos

Damn Moe your truck is clean as hell. All of our trucks are gross hahaha

Awesome video good job

you seem like a good trainer! Thank you for uploading this

Coming from being OTR & driving a mixer been ok so far!! Love being home every night

I like trainee. Rockie, not so much 🥴 thanks for sharing. More videos pls

I trained three different drivers in my thirteen years in the concrete business. One from Atlanta who drove the country roads around here like he was in a corvette. He rolled his truck about a year later. One tour bus driver who took out so many mail boxes a dispatcher had little stickers made for his door like a fighter pilot. Ace times too! An ex school bus driver and all I can say about him is I'm glad my kid's didn't ride his bus! Never again!!!

I got to say your company keeps there plants really clean here at Robertson's most of the plants hella dirty

Very good training.

That's right about where we start new experienced drivers. Our top out is $25.00.

Truck looks good by the way.

We didn't have trianees when I started. They gave you 5 mins on what levers were what & the rest was up to you. Hopefully you got to watch the driver ahead of you unload while waiting

Nice video thanks I'm a new mixer driver aswell just got cut loose on my own learning more every day

Cool video.

Here in england we dont wash our hoppers before we go to site, takes more time & time is money when your an owner driver. We clean it when we tipped its not usually as hot over here lol if not knock it out when your finished with the hammer

Driving ready mix is just about one of the worst jobs for having a good life. I feel bad for anyone that chooses this occupation and cannot find their way out of it.

Needed to learn what I’m getting into Salute🙏🏾

Love the videos man....My company wont let us record or take pics...

I'm about to get started with Thomas concrete in Athens ga as trainie can't wait to learn how to drive

Just applied to Robertson's ready mix. I want to drive transport which is a class A + doubles.

Fire videos good looking famo

Thats a nice truck, how many yards can you load on that setup?

You guys have some nice trucks,ours are ragged out

That thing must be a pain to get around a tight job,, Never make it where I lived when I ran redi-mix..

Good work there Moe, our new guy is doing ok..

LMC don’t let us use phones in our Trucks. Bu great Vids

I start training next week for this type of job sure glad I’m leaving otr driving for local work

The best in concrete

Why so many wheels? I do this job in Australia and our trucks are so different

Do you have your own truck and work as an owner operator or do you drive a company truck? Also, how would one get into this industry? I’ve no idea where to start

Nothing better than sitting in the cab of the truck with the heat on in the dead of winter pouring into a pump....Dont miss freezing my ass off standing on the ladder.

Y’all don’t have a catwalk to visually inspect the slump? I’ve learned you can’t always depends on that gauge. Good job man, I enjoy your videos

Cool videos. I work for Livingston concrete in Brighton Michigan. I drive a 6 axle front discharge Terex mixer. How much does the laws allow you to haul where your at? My truck I haul 10 to 11 yards all day.

I heard this is a seasonal job & a friend told me if you have to collect you can collect a full paycheck if you’re part of a Union..is this true? Are weekends mandatory? How many hours do you work? Any benefits?

You can't throttle your barrel from the cab? Cool looking truck though

Hey man I recently started looking into it, how many hours do you guys put a day ? Do you also work Saturday and Sunday?

Thank you.

hey wassup your videos are very helpful i would like to be ur trainee

Local company is hiring but requires a year experience. What is the easiest way to get experience?

530 am and on the way to the yard? Why such a late start? We start 12-2 am in TX! That is a nice mixer though!

28 years in the bizz for me. Wow, we sure use and waste alot of water. But ya know that's the job, that's how we gotta do it. Back in 92' we had the luxury, of rinsing our barrels with fresh even drinkable water. We batched with it as well. Bout, oh say 2000' that way was OVER. Recycled wash water and batching with recycled water, we watched load temps go up quite a bit. And load life⤵️went down too. But that's to be expected so water reducer and plasticizer Sheez! Loads got alot of chemicals. Wintertime (we in Seattle)so we got the liquid calcium non chlorine and the old school calcium we still carry on the truck in bags. I have the customer add however much cal. He wants so no bitchin at the driver for a load takin off. You know. You know brother , how all the 💩runs down on the driver. Oh fool driver did this or that. Naw, to many years playing that old game, so I just CYA. You look like a good driver and trainer patient and cool. Right on👍 the owners son begged me to train so reluctantly I did for a little while untill my nerves were shot. They were were giving me these super truckers that had oh, all the hours OTR and rode with me the first day and 2nd I let em drive some and I hover over them show them the mistakes and we corrected but we go off road alot in deep jobsites and such we got Mercer Island. Now this island all driveways are steep as hell, backing down to a line pump, maybe spilling a little cause the front wheels are coming off the ground (ya got no steering) but we have to just drive it down. When we had manuals we'd put er in low Reverse and just hammer down in reverse. Stay off them brakes use the Jake brake in reverse then get on the brakes easy while front end comes up. Only 2-4in so it feels worse than it is from flipping over backwards. We my supertrucker trainee got out, called an Uber and quit. Not for me hell fkn NO. 3 GUYS did that. But I had 7 guys with not much experience, who trusted me, and trusted the equipment and are working just great. We got bout an extra 350 to train guys and gals is that about what y'all do? Like you vids brother. I shoulda made more. Got some on my KZfaq/Oxmachines . Take care💯👍👍👍. ⭕❌

Sup does it pay well how many hours and do u drive the hole city or only dispatch to area also what type of GPS do u used n how long is the training

Hi friend, I'm from Chile. I'd like to know how much money concrete drivers earn in the USA, thanks.

I remember those days.....I started driving mixer in December 2020 and i remember being trained from ground up and being a noobie to slump and all that stuff. Now, its a piece of cake haha.

Is that a good trade to get into ? Cement gave me a call hope it works out good if I get the job

Thank you sir... How long was the training process for this fella?

Starting concrete as well down here in Atlanta. With a company called Ernst concrete hoping I like it. Thanks for all the info

I have my trainees leave the yard on a 6 inch slump. We use a lot of limestone mixes.

I see a lot of butt dumpers with only 2 axles in the rear and wonder how they get anything done because they can't be hauling but maybe 4 or 5 yards. We got 22 mixers on the road at my plant all front discharge mostly all 6 axles but we do have a few 5 axle mixers. Friday is gonna be an early start day because we got 900 yards going to one location plus all are normal daily work. How much does a experienced mixer driver make where you are????

Good job bro!

Our slump gage is our eyes like most.

You right brother sometime we need a break I work 12hrs night shift then 8hrs day shift sleep like 3hrs i forgot my ID for night shift I can't get in the gate so I wait like 30mins I said fuck it I am going home they made thing so difficult

Why are you backing up with your tag axles down?

Slump gauge? Dammmm, y’all are lucky, we have to eye ball it down here in San Antonio.

Good

Not 2 bad for 5days in, we got a couple greenhorns pouring for us that will out right scare you. He'll be a great driver if he keeps it up

Can you tell me what are all the extra wheels for. Cement trucks don't have them in my country ?

What are the physical parts of the job??is it just getting on the ladder and washing it down. I keep trying to figure out what’s the physical parts of the job

I'm surprised you got a day off.

Hi,I'm currently a forklift operator, I'm thinking about this as a career change. I've never done this.

Ассалому алейкум я тоже на миксере работаю. Сколько куб м3 возиш.

Decent video but I think you need to show that pretrip which you didn't show, important for the new people just starting out.

How long did it take for your job too call you back too say you are hired

Never wash down from bottom to top man always top to bottom

What kind of transmission is in those trucks?

So what happens if he over does the water at the plant Is there anyway to fix it or are you screwed?

Moe who I have to talk to because dale always busy lol

Why the axlefrenzy?

Just came off the road got a interview Monday for cemax where do you live bro

6 inch slab no rebar barely any gravel no compaction, yeah those two concrete guys have no clue whats up. that shit is going to crack all the fuck up.

Only 1 week of training? that aint enough lol.

Just got my CDL and didn't like the OTR life. Start doing this in about a week

What state you in moe? And what's the starting pay for ready mix driver?

Well I officially sht the bed as a concrete driver. I didnt lock my chute and the finisher took his hand off it. Long story short it blasted one of the finishers like a pendulum 😞.

What's wrong with your car I here this weird noise ever time u put your foot on gas

Hello, my name is Sham from Morocco. I am a concrete pump driver and I am looking for work. Thank you

I drive a concrete mixer in the United Kingdom, i find it very weird that you have that axel the drops down at the back. How many cubic metres would that mixer carry? I can carry 8 cubic metres max

Yard worker ready mixed a video?

Do I need OTR experience to drive a ready mix truck?

Is this job worth it? A company is hiring here. I am 21 with a cdl and no experience. They'll hire me starting $14 an hour. But its 2:30am to 5pm everyday..

Damm they wont fire u for driving while on a hand held device wow

Homeboy walk slow as hell

What the? No hard hat on while he was walking under the plant? That be big time right up.

HEY MOE WHERE IS THIS I DRIVE READY MIX IN LOS ANGELES

Alot different from front discharge

Sounds like a 6” to me!
