Can you explain gallons of water and yard to concrete ratio and how to calculate how much water you add in your drum after getting loaded to increase inches of slump?
If you get loaded with 10 yards and you have a 3" slump, and the contractor wants a 5" slump, you'll add 20 gallons of water. You add 1 gallon of water per yard to raise the slump 1". So 10 gallons of water will raise your slump 1" if you have 10 yards. Might sound complicated at first but it's extremely basic.
@@jared6361 depends on the weather also.the hotter it is the more water,and visa versa.and what chemicals are in the mix.also depends on how much wter the batchman puts in
@@jared6361it also depends how hot it is and how much retardant is in it. Also the distance you're traveling .five slump you want it also between 1,000 and 1200 psi Of course if it's a 10-yard load
Question, I’ll be on the job in a few weeks, I’m trying to find out , while your getting loaded do they only add the materials needed , or water is added in also while getting loaded! 😊
Yes they do add every materials including some amount of water that can give you limp close to slump needed. So when you loaded and head to slump rack to slump down then you can check how much water you may add or not. Hope this helps 🙏
Hello sir , how do you feel about a female driving a mixer truck I’m 44 years old and I’m so ready for my new calling. I actually start school on January 23 for Thomas Concrete
Hey, I have worked with females so many times and we still have one working with us, I don't see anything wrong with it. Praying that God provides everything you need 🙏 🙌
Been driving sand for a concrete company and I knew about none of this. Very insightful video.

Sure! I'll make a video showing how I do it and most drivers can agree with 🙂

Nice
best video !
Thank you 😊
Is driving these trucks hard physical work, i live in North Carolina and I have cdl A i am on social security and i need to supplement my income
Not really a hard work it's only the work time that makes it hard, some days work time differences makes it a little hard. But it's a great easy job
