Driving the Cement Mixer

I am about to go to work. I will take a pic of the slump sticker and post it when I get home.

 

how much is the front discharge mixer truck in your country ? in china, it is about $200,000. it is really expenese than we can afford.

 

At least you have a front discharge mixer. When I tried my hand in it (wasn't for me) about 12 years ago, I ran a rear discharge. With yours, at least you pull in to where you're pouring. It's probably 1000 times better than having to back up to a pour, especially at a busy site.

 

iv always been curious if cement mixers are considered tank vehicles or not, it seems to me they would be?

 

I believe they are.

 

Out here in Ca you need a tanker endorsement.

 

I drove otr and went into a mixer truck and had thought your need a tanker endorsement. But it really masters on the state. I'm in the West Virginia tri-state Ohio and Kentucky tri-state and I run in ask the states

 

Not in AR. Class B w/ airbrakes is all you need.

 

I like my rear discharge. Front discharge drivers control their chutes from in the cab, making them responsible for **** ups. I sit in my a/c cab and let the finishers take that headache.
