    Does anyone drive concrete trucks for a living?

    This is one side of trucking I have never done before, but I am considering it over delivering groceries. Sick of warehouses and dealing with people face to face who want there product carried into the building, up a flight of 47 stairs, only to turn 6 corners in a narrow hallway while opening 7 doors with your hands full, than jump through a fire hoop and finally find yourself deposited at the storage location for said product....:biggrin_25510:

    Just wondering what the Concrete business is like. I imagine with such a thick suspension it is a rough ride all day?

    If you don't like you will HATE hauling cement! the jack ##### contractors yell and scream then cry when your stuck because they always say it will hold you! then you have to deal with a shop manager saying " why did you do that!" and other unspeakable words I did it for a year and will never do it again.

    Those are the first things that came to my mind.

    If I think the ground is unfit, and going to get me stuck, I don't drive in for anybody, and most likely construction contractors would hate me for that.

    Not sure what avenues of trucking are good anymore.

    I can't drive anymore, but I made good money and had a pretty good time hauling sand for gas wells.
