For real. Oh no someone made a mistake they learned from. Better get them out of the industry all together so the mistake can then be repeated. Meanwhile if dude lost his bet, he wouldnt quit his job for being equally wrong.
To a business. $1800 is a tax write-off and rather have spare concrete in case something unexpected happened to prevent less that good results. I've seen concrete work where they were short 1 section and have to wait few days later and another truck/mixer. Concrete never dried the same shade between the two.
Yeah especially when it is probably cheaper to order 6 trucks than risk messing up a pour because someone made a mistake. Even he said that it was 50 yards, exactly five trucks with no margin of error.
for stopping a retardedly scummy scam artist who can't do basic math and charges 20% over? it took me less than 1 hour to figure out how much I needed for my shop and lift pads and decorative additions with zero experience. I was off 3/4 of a yard(literally the tiny amount left over after leveling can be that much) on a 112 yard job. not 10 yards OVER on a 50 yard job.

The contractor didn’t lose out on the last load. It was in his bid, the customer paid for it. It was probably also a buffer just to make sure he didn’t come up short.
It was a 20 percent overage, so it is possible that it was intentional for that reason. But as someone else has suggested in comments, that someone was planning to use the extra for a side project.

They wouldn't even have been pouring if I had done the pre-pour inspection. The concrete Slump would have failed miserably for almost any paving mix design.
@@hmangutters9956 Part of My job is testing concrete for the strength and such and this looks to be probably between 9-12 inch slump which is way beyond the spec for what is usually poured for any kind of pavement anywhere
Was looking for this. I only did concrete for about two years for a massive company in the DC region. I was taught since day one, after doing all calculations, order an extra truck, but make sure the supplier doesn't load it. When you're getting close to the end, you can adjust the yards needed for the final truck.
They want to avoid having an extra truck because of the risk of not being able to unload the concrete. It could lead to a dry out in the truck totaling a concrete truck. The bet is something that if he wins motivates the guy to fire the guy who fucked up.
I always estimate high, then when it comes in under at the end, the customer is always ecstatic. Telling the customer its actually costing 1800 less at the end, makes everyone happy.
err except thats not how it works with concrete, you order a 6th truck full of concrete you have to do something with it. the company wont be happy if you tell them you've got nowhere to put a entire load of concrete that will eventually set in their truck if they dont dump it somewhere. if you overestimate with concrete you have to have a plan for where youre going to dump that extra concrete. Youre better off getting exactly what you need an d little bit extra in case, not an entire truck load. plus it wont cost the customer less, they will have to pay $1800 for a pile of concrete dumped on their property.
@@ge2719 it would be obvious that the last truck is not needed before it is even loaded. Normally, they would orxer five plus a clean-up. The concrete supplier would get a call telling them if they two yards or ten is needed to finish.
It costs money to move material, and that concrete was mixed and ready to go, so it has to go somewhere. So if it’s not used, that’s money out of his pocket.
@@himynameisbass3581 why would he order more material if he was confident that he only needed 5 ? Even getting the money for the 6 truck still ends up wasting the non used material. And what fkn person would just give away $1,800 because they guessed wrong at something they are uneducated about...this just sounds stupid.

@@mattiOTX you gotta be dumb as hell if you think a business like this couldn't take a $1800 hit. they have 10+ people. and why would having extra concrete cost a job ???
I think its a figure of speach. He was upset becouse he felt scammed even if he sayis something like that hes not believing that person will actually get fired but by escalating your complaint at the begining you have margin to deescalate from to actual results you want. Thats how you bargain. So what he wanted was that he will be not charged incorrectly and to press someone into accepting the deal which he got. I would have done(and did multiple times) the same with many diffrent situations ranging from wrong kfc order to 20+k$ renovation works.
Nice bonus man. Shout-out to Construction workers who build our needs and wants. I did a decade of commercial concrete and a few on specialty like the Alki-Metro tunnel in Seattle, broken back culverts Nebraska. Harder work than Farm & Ranch. I loved the grind of hard labor
No he tried to tell the guy and since the guy wanted to practically make a bet he matched him happens alot still didn't have to pay the labor time of like 2k
Especially in setting up concrete! Sometimes the pour goes on after the concrete plant has shut down for the day and you can’t order another truck… THEN you are screwed…but had that 6th truck been ordered… It wouldn’t have mattered if that truck got unloaded at 8:15PM…. Still would have had it… Concrete is a whole other deal… that and epoxy/fiberglass layups( huge ones) on yachts n stuff.. best to do it all before it gels over…that way you got a chemical bond.. making it all one piece… instead of just a physical bond/surface bond…. Not nearly as strong.
I used to do from footing, yo form, and finishing....This story sounds crazy. Aint no way some migos did that. Them boyos know their concrete. Something here is missing
This crew was working for a contractor. The contractor had one of his employees measure for how much mud the job would take. He was off an entire truck. 9.5 yds is typical max load for mud. Nothing fishy.
When someone comes to me snitchin i look into them and not the people they are telling me about. It's usually just people trying to get 1 up on eachother.
@@ricardorascon88, Lots of people in the trades are interested in the other trades and want to learn about them. The more you know about the trade that's going to follow you, the better you can set up your trade . Example,,, concrete level for a ruff framing. Bricky, being square and level. If you know how to set up for the next tradesmen, word spreads, and you get more work!!
Hey knowing your business is priceless some people just spray and pray not good business but since most dont understand what your doing they make money
BS as a customer why would I pay you, just hire the other guy since the cost is the same? If you pour a thinner slab then it takes less crete. I know bs when I see it.
Contractors order extra concrete because of grade variances. Its better to have slightly more concrete then not enough and have to wait. In big cities you could be waiting a while day because the trucks are booked out completely for the day
@@sicc_playboys_1383 10% variance is 5 yards..... thats more then half a truck. Yes I know a truck can hold 10 but they are usually about 8 yards in a typical truck. I've seen it time and time again contractors needing to order 1 yard to finish the job. Its better to over order and have waste then to not order enough and can't finish the job.
@@mattm3492 I miss understood you comment. I thought you were saying the extra truck was OK. An extra yard hardly ever 1.5 extra is acceptable. Your right.
@@joeyyeet2970 yeah that sounds edgy and all until you have a wife and kids and get fired with zero warning a week before rents due. Now you’re homeless, but it’s just business

That's what we do for the police already meanwhile they living comfortable while the people pay for their mistakes. It's a job(profession). Even in sports when the coaches in European football lose way too much they are fired. It's happened alot this year alone. If u don't want to get fired, do your job right.simple
It blows my mind when people are so quick to want to fire someone they've never met or have no context of the "mistake" this guy probably wants everyone and anyone fired at first small mistake. You must be a perfect being! Edit: I get it that it was a pricey mistake and there is obviously a lack of context but I wonder if it was an honest mistake that happened rarely or if it's something that happens often. My best hard working employee has made mistakes as pricey but he's also made me 100xtimes with his help. It's important to know when to allow your employee to learn from his/her expensive mistake and how often it happens. My comment was based more solely on the way I've heard a ton of people speak so carelessly and pompous in such a casual way. I'm sure this is the normal way this guy talks often based on his videos.
Yeah hope he got fired. And he had a young family that relied on his salary. And they get evicted from thier home and suffer in poverty during the worst inflation in 40+ year's. Pft miscalculate in the cold. Then you'll learn.
In construction there's such a thing as having more than needed than short to finish the job. You don't want to always cut it down to last bit of materials, you want to leave room incase something happens, and something happens alot. Better safe than sorry. In this case the bid included 6 trucks so contractor even paying for extra truck didn't loose nothing.
Yeah one extra truck of concrete is not that uncommon. That can easily come down to opinion on just how much contingency they’re planning for. And I do know people steal materials from the job site all the time but concrete? Pretty hard to discretely divert 10 tons of concrete without someone noticing lmao
First off as long as a concrete truck has not been loaded and on the way to the job then you can always bring down or adjust the order. I've worked as a mixer driver for different companies. This dude just robbed the customer XD

Not ti mention it is sloppily than a calf with the runs. It appears to be overly diluted with water which will destroy its strength

I always have an extra concrete truck on stand by or clean up. You don't need to pay the ready mix plant if they don't load the clean up truck!
Was looking for this. I only did concrete for about two years for a massive company in the DC region. I was taught since day one, after doing all calculations, order an extra truck, but make sure the supplier doesn't load it. When you're getting close to the end, you can adjust the yards needed for the final truck.

@@JoeG71299 they paid for the 6th anyway. Why would a business owner say hey youre dumb and overpaying lol
They want to avoid having an extra truck because of the risk of not being able to unload the concrete. It could lead to a dry out in the truck totaling a concrete truck. The bet is something that if he wins motivates the guy to fire the guy who fucked up.
@@kholtsclaw5266I don't think they'd total the truck.

I always estimate high, then when it comes in under at the end, the customer is always ecstatic. Telling the customer its actually costing 1800 less at the end, makes everyone happy.
That's the basics of giving estimates. Give too little of a estimate you'll either lose money or have an upset costumer.
@@henryl3617 you'd think it was basic, I lose alot of business who do not mind pissing off customers though lol
err except thats not how it works with concrete, you order a 6th truck full of concrete you have to do something with it. the company wont be happy if you tell them you've got nowhere to put a entire load of concrete that will eventually set in their truck if they dont dump it somewhere. if you overestimate with concrete you have to have a plan for where youre going to dump that extra concrete.
Youre better off getting exactly what you need an d little bit extra in case, not an entire truck load. plus it wont cost the customer less, they will have to pay $1800 for a pile of concrete dumped on their property.
Over estimating to the customer is one thing, but ordering an extra truck of concrete can be a big fucking problem.
@@ge2719 it would be obvious that the last truck is not needed before it is even loaded. Normally, they would orxer five plus a clean-up. The concrete supplier would get a call telling them if they two yards or ten is needed to finish.

It costs money to move material, and that concrete was mixed and ready to go, so it has to go somewhere. So if it’s not used, that’s money out of his pocket.

@@mattiOTX you gotta be dumb as hell if you think a business like this couldn't take a $1800 hit. they have 10+ people. and why would having extra concrete cost a job ???
I think its a figure of speach. He was upset becouse he felt scammed even if he sayis something like that hes not believing that person will actually get fired but by escalating your complaint at the begining you have margin to deescalate from to actual results you want. Thats how you bargain. So what he wanted was that he will be not charged incorrectly and to press someone into accepting the deal which he got. I would have done(and did multiple times) the same with many diffrent situations ranging from wrong kfc order to 20+k$ renovation works.

Nice bonus man. Shout-out to Construction workers who build our needs and wants. I did a decade of commercial concrete and a few on specialty like the Alki-Metro tunnel in Seattle, broken back culverts Nebraska. Harder work than Farm & Ranch. I loved the grind of hard labor

Well 30 feet is a big fuckup
So you basically finessed him on purpose knowing that he knew there was a misunderstanding

First thing that came to my mind when you said Chino Hills was Melo, Gelo, Lonzo and Lavar 😂
I'd hate to work for a guy that thinks someone should be fired for ordering 6 trucks of concrete for a job that could probably be done in 5.
Always remember it’s better to have too much rather than not enough!!!
Especially in setting up concrete! Sometimes the pour goes on after the concrete plant has shut down for the day and you can’t order another truck… THEN you are screwed…but had that 6th truck been ordered… It wouldn’t have mattered if that truck got unloaded at 8:15PM…. Still would have had it…
Concrete is a whole other deal… that and epoxy/fiberglass layups( huge ones) on yachts n stuff.. best to do it all before it gels over…that way you got a chemical bond.. making it all one piece… instead of just a physical bond/surface bond…. Not nearly as strong.

Contractors order extra concrete because of grade variances. Its better to have slightly more concrete then not enough and have to wait. In big cities you could be waiting a while day because the trucks are booked out completely for the day
If your grade variance is by 10 yards you better quit being a contractor
@@sicc_playboys_1383 10% variance is 5 yards..... thats more then half a truck. Yes I know a truck can hold 10 but they are usually about 8 yards in a typical truck. I've seen it time and time again contractors needing to order 1 yard to finish the job. Its better to over order and have waste then to not order enough and can't finish the job.
@@mattm3492 I miss understood you comment. I thought you were saying the extra truck was OK. An extra yard hardly ever 1.5 extra is acceptable. Your right.
@@mattm3492 a concrete truck can have 10 yard if the state allows with is not many. Average is 8
The 1st truck is never loaded full so you can test on site and call back to the batch plant if you need to make adjustments.

Edit: I get it that it was a pricey mistake and there is obviously a lack of context but I wonder if it was an honest mistake that happened rarely or if it's something that happens often. My best hard working employee has made mistakes as pricey but he's also made me 100xtimes with his help. It's important to know when to allow your employee to learn from his/her expensive mistake and how often it happens.

😂.. damn.. i end up pocket extra 1800.. 😂😂😂
And the contractor charged the dealership $2,500 for that extra truck. He still made good money on the job.
In construction there's such a thing as having more than needed than short to finish the job. You don't want to always cut it down to last bit of materials, you want to leave room incase something happens, and something happens alot. Better safe than sorry. In this case the bid included 6 trucks so contractor even paying for extra truck didn't loose nothing.
the guy was probably stealing materials
Yeah one extra truck of concrete is not that uncommon. That can easily come down to opinion on just how much contingency they’re planning for. And I do know people steal materials from the job site all the time but concrete? Pretty hard to discretely divert 10 tons of concrete without someone noticing lmao
The guy that did the take-off measurement is used to the typical short-loaded trucks like the rest of us.
Trying to get someone fired, what a jerk.
First off as long as a concrete truck has not been loaded and on the way to the job then you can always bring down or adjust the order. I've worked as a mixer driver for different companies. This dude just robbed the customer XD
