I was wondering how many Cement Mixers we have on board? Did they train you for the position, or was it learned the hard way? I also wanted to know how hard is it to find a job like this, and where should I look if I am interested in this type of field.

We have transit mix division in our company. They train you for 3-5 days, depending on skill level and recent experience. Most of our guys are retired OTR drivers, or retired military. Cant say how hard it is to find a job....its obviously seasonal, your best chances are between now and october, once the rain hits, hold on tight. Based on some of the guys I know, if you can count (cubic yards, and gears, although most of ours are Allison autos) and have a CDL-B with tank endorsement, use some sort of common sense (not required all the time) you'll probably get hired.

Are your mixers running under the WC banner ? Never seen one.

negative...they are white..with our signature teal on the bulkhead (stripe on the drum if its older). Out of Modesto, CA only.....and they are not WC.

Sounds like fun I wouldn't mind getting into that field I usually like challenges rather than just sitting behind the wheel, and just going forward good exercise for your body, and brain that's why I was looking forward to a flatbed gig but since the last application I filled out and spoke to that rude recruiter it set my hopes down low on how these employers are treating, and lying to the applicants (future employees). Maybe I am just going to look for something local for the hopes of company don't call me with some fantasy bu11sh1t story, trying to beat me in the head. -

I started driving a mixer two years ago for mid illinois concrete, they put me in a truck with a driver for four hours then cut me loose in my own kenworth, at first it was the best job i ever had, but then i noticed that 11.00 and hour was wrong, see where iam at a union truck driver is consider a labor when you should be a teamester witch could mean 12 more bucks an hour
