Cement Mixer Drivers?

ill take curb anyday over post holes

 

You can take the curb forever I will fill every post hole from here to Texas....

 

I did it here in OK fro awhile until the MGR lied to me and then I told him where to put. his comment was he could get OTR drivers all day for nothing so I told him to go hire them I don't work for crooks or liars.

 

Yup, slump readings differ based on different factors, but if you use a baseline from 4" up, the best way is remembering when your stuff is tested on-site-make a note of the results and where the meter was reading-also, if anyone else has driven your truck, their advice is very valuable. Basically, 1200 is a tight 4" slump. You take it from there, but i found it important to be conservative when adding h2o-"once it's in-it's impossible to get out" really, the main ingredient to getting good at mixing to slump is experience, and by drawing on the knowledge of more experienced drivers. It's a job that is demanding, but i always remember this-no matter how much mix a customer has poured, there's no such thing as a "human slump meter." trust your gut and your equipment. If the meter tells you it's a 5" slump, it's a 5" slump. Case closed. Good luck and may god go with you as you deliver the "gray gold."
