This was a coworkers truck a couple months ago. Got to say it was one of the closest to roll overs I've seen in awhile. Was definitely a very interesting day the truck behind me got stuck as well so I spent the next 2 hours waiting on the wrecker.

Mike2633, okiedokie, Dave_in_AZ and 5 others Thank this. -
Next time she does that, roll the drum a little bit until you pile the cement on the high side a little bit. A few ton up there on the spiral will hold her.

That's not a road, fella. That barely passes as a path, let alone a road. And two hours for a wrecker? Well dern. Did he have to steal a new wrecker before he could get out there? I hope you didn't pay by the hour.
Bakerman Thanks this. -
Ha didn't cost me a dime I was a company driver and the only one not to end up stuck. Unfortunately in concrete this is one of the better roads for large construction sites around here. You should see what so ever of these contractors call roads on jobsites well my dozer made it through you should be fine they say as I look at a dirt road covered with 2 feet of water. My reply is thank you for paying for this load I'm going back to the plant to get rid of it learn to make better access it will save you guys a fortune
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
It's gonna be great for the area. I mean that's at least a couple thousand jobs, and CSX pays well. It's rough work, but it's good, honest pay. -
towmantater Thanks this.

Looks like a road to an oilfield guy. Just need to add a 200' sheer drop beside it.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
Two hours for a wrecker ain't bad. How about TWO wreckers to pull my mixer out when the fuel pump went out right in the middle of pouring.
Happened about 1600, got back to the yard at 2200, 15 miles away.
As far as that original post goes, I'd put that on the driver for getting too close to the edge.
That's an excellent road as far as paths that mixers travel on.brian991219 and okiedokie Thank this.
