Drivers burned inside concrete mixer trucks hazard

Hmmm very suspect here. Clearly an OshKosh blogger. Filling their pockets and your own is the way this reads to the 39 people sitting in this forum exchanging relative safety information. Possibly we are wrong however that is how it reads when reading it. If valves are located outside of the cement truck..... and the drivers are driving loaded mixers.... please tell me when a hose randomly bursts scalding, burning, boiling and melting a drivers body filling the cab with 220 degree steam and white fog...... please tell us how the driver is supposed to turn off the valve?? We are all curious. Clearly you have some serious inside information so be kind enough to let us know. This way we can educate these drivers on how they are to drive the truck avoiding killing someone, while being burned. Then you are staying it is the drivers responsibility to reach out of the truck while driving and being burned I might add and reach to the back of the truck and turn off the valves?????? Please , please tell us. We are here to educate and help the drivers. If you have the inside information on that trucking maneuver we want to know please. Bottom line it is OshKosh’s faulty design of this front loading cement mixer truck. You do not put hoses exposed at ones feet with no barrier or shield that can at any given moment burst and massively injure the drivers. That is the concern!!!! Spread the word and save the drivers. You don’t need google search and sit at the phones. Do the leg work please go to different cement companies and ask the drivers personally, talk to the owners, we did. Call OshKosh call the other manufactures we did! Please before you go and blame drivers and maintenance workers. Is it in a OshKosh manual at what mileage or month you change these things? Please show us OshKosh manual for these trucks. Do not please blame anyone but the people that designed it. We have done the keg work, if you personally seen these injuries, if you listened to the screams of these drivers in burn units being scrapped of their damaged skin every 12 hours for weeks and months across the country you might feel differently of the design. Does it really cost that much to shield or encase the hoses? Have the OshKosh design team ever been burned, scalded, boiled, melted by the hose bursting on them. Save the drivers get rid of this catastrophic design Oshkosh.

 

I’m not berating people!! I’m doing much. As much as one person that first hand witnessed the screams from men can. Why fill the pockets of lawyers as well. Are you saying that you don’t believe in the power of messages and knowledge across the industries. I do! We all do!! Please spread the word that is all that we are asking. Save a drivers life or body from being burned and boiled. We have the people that physically cannot use their legs anymore doing our social forums. Helping anyway they can. Sorry if you felt berated. We felt attacked that we were somehow responsible for not turning off a valve or maintaining hoses. What CDL driver does that? Do they even know how to? What driver is a licensed mechanic. Maybe there are some. I’m not sure. We just need people to show the pictures posted of Burns posted earlier and allow the information to get in the drivers hands to keep them aware and safe. That is all. As for a blogger.....in this situation it is someone who keeps negating every informative message to protect the manufacturer. No need for argument you agree the design is ####ty. So if you can spread the word if the potential danger. You might that person to save a drivers life or legs. Thank you. Safe travels.

 

Never, ever said lawyers are bad!! My own family and friends are comprised of Judges and Lawyers. What spreads quicker? A room filled with injured workers wanting to spread their message like a wild fire or waiting on a Court Calendar for a date to be heard? I am sure you know the right answer. I’m trying to save people from being burned the quickest way possible. You know a better way please let us all know. Knowledge is power and we all can benefit from educated knowledge.
