Driving a cement truck?

I drove a rear discharge ready mix truck for a time. It's not really any more physically demanding than any other driving job. You'll have to learn a bit about concrete and slump. But that's not too difficult either.

The biggest thing with driving a mixer is making sure you leave plenty of stopping distance. You hammer the brakes and all that concrete moves forward. Which takes a lot of the weight off the rear axles. Scary as hell the first time it happens.

I may still be doing it if the building boom didn't fizzle out and I got laid off.

 

I deliver to the guys that roll cement (cement powder bulk tank to their silos)... Most of them seem chill, and fairly fit... It's Maine, so we got a (generally) older work force, but those cats seem to handle it fine... It's also seasonal here, so I don't know what type of position you're looking at... Being South, I'd presume a year round thing?


And good luck in Game 6, Q.
I'm pulling for your Blues to vindicate the Stars being kicked out by The Champs.

Yeah, when it dies off up here we start to deliver to pre-casters (sewers, cisterns, foundation layers), and some of us get to drag around other commodities (fuel oil, jet fuel, propane, etc.) Gotta keep the haz up to date 'round these parts.

While I don't like the Blues (you understand), I'm glad they're the Western Conference representatives.
