    Well, hold on, as long as I can remember, ceeeeement mixers have always been flipping over, rookie or not. The recovery amount must have been astronomical, whatever that is today.

    It never ceases to amaze when manage to flip a truck over on a perfectly flat and straight stretch of highway.

    It isn’t like were talking about I-68 or 79. :rolleyes:

    When i was doing oilfield work we had this one battery. Almost a mile of perfectly flat dirt and well packed road around the thing since the farm was so large. Brand new guy with a full load of oil managed to flip his truck on perfectly level ground on a lact with a 5 mph speed limit. No one knows how he did it and he claims it just flipped out of the blue. Our GUESS is he either tried to whip the trailer around and the slosh pulled him over. Or aliens.

    Never underestimate a morons ability to #### things up

    Well, I never drove a mixer, but I've heard they are incredibly tippy. Perhaps someone cut them off and a jerk of the wheel gets that shluck a sloshin' and over she goes.

    It's basically an incredibly top heavy tanker with about 2020 Gallons of sticky liquid that is trying to climb one side of the "tank" while it's mixing. If you forget that fact, it can be unstable. I never understood how anyone that gets paid by the hour can be in such a hurry as I see with some folks.
