Tanker to ready mix

Lol almost, shut down when the weather turns in nov-dec start back up in March.

It’s no big deal, you still have your insurance and dental all year and you collect unemployment and plow/haul snow for cash or just hang out and take a vacation.

You’re gonna work 65 hours a week all summer...

 

Minneapolis.

 

Started my new job. Not bad at all, driving a quad axle Pete 379 dump truck.

Hauled old asphalt the mill shot in my truck all day.

I think I’ll like this place, everyone is super nice and it’s not corporate. “Here’s your keys, ride on the mill so you know what to do when you get there”.

Lol that was my training.

 

I haven’t hauled fresh stuff yet but I think we spray them with diesel by hand.

 

Yeah, we just spray it down by hand I was hauling fresh asphalt today and will be tomorrow too.

So far it’s been something new every day.

I usually chain down a machine or two on my flat bed behind my dump truck in the morning and drop it at the job then get to work doing dump truck stuff.

Ran the roller all day today doing patch work before we pave the street tomorrow.

Still super nice guys, my foreman makes sure we get lunch everyday and he usually buys then it’s beers at the shop after work if you want ONE beer.

They might put me on the mill soon... that should be interesting lol. That thing is massive and I’d be driving a low bed instead of a dump truck. They definitely aren’t scared to train you on any machine.

Glad I made the switch to a family place instead of a mega concrete company. The owner checks in on me every day to make sure I’m liking it and not overwhelmed or anything.

Also nice to have a real truck wash at the shop with every detailing supply you could need. They don’t #### around.

 

I think ours makes 44 an hour. Still....

Funny you mention it, our operator is getting deployed and they mentioned throwing me on it since no one likes running it. Driving a low boy and running a mill for 44 an hour, I can handle that.

Job is still going great. Owner loves me and wants to get me in the loader ASAP so I can load my own truck if need be and he mentioned the mill too

I also only work like 8-10 hours a day which is wild coming from ready mix. I never want to go back to 14s again.
