So he waited until all of them got finished, and then he went into his little shack gotta have a 1/2 stick of dynamite duct taped it to the middle of the inside of that concrete mixer drum. Light a long fiews and let it go off. It didn't damage the truck, but it knocked loose every piece of concrete in there. Everything else works fine he just cranked the truck up, rotated the drum, a bit poured out all the chips, and he was done. The whole thing took less than 10 minutes.

It is. Wonder where his ptw is and gas tester...

I’ll be the first to say I’m very happy I don’t have to climb into a cement truck and have to be in the dusty small space for worker. I appreciate the hard work these fellas do

Brings back memories. Not a fan of mixers. Or delivering concrete. Especially not a fan of the tedious yet demanding job of keeping your drum fins clean. It's literally not possible to clean the back of the fins from outside the truck.

$150 is about half of what I'd charge for a regular customer, and about 1/3 what I'd charge for a new customer.

he should have a harness and safety crew. that is a confined space

I'm sure there's a lock out

You're paying for his familiarity with the job, his willingness to get inside that can, the damage to his vision and body and clothes from the noise and contortions and abrasions, and most importantly the opportunity to be available - he has to make enough money to make it worth doing this instead of something else. In other words, it wasn't just 30 minutes you were paying for. it was a lot more.

Considering that a good chipper is helping keep the truck stable so you can deliver a square load- good salt.

Try to clean your truck every day when you’re done with it last longer lol 😂😂❤

They're gonna get buildup no matter how much time you spend washing out.

myth busters got a way easier way to clean that out

Remember, you're not paying $150 for somebody to do it; you're paying $150 so _you_ don't have to. Worth every penny.

Should be minimum $300

Agreed it looks like actual hard work

Dude I really enjoy how you show the entire business 🤩🙌

I did this the summer of 1978 before I started college, Uvalde construction company off motor street in Dallas… terrible job but paid well. RIP to my boss way way back then John Redman

Almost like John redcorn

He doesn’t get paid for how long it takes. He gets paid for knowing how to do his job efficiently.

When I ran mixer the company made the drivers do this themselves. It made them more likely to clean out properly and to wash down between loads

$150 for 30 minutes is some damn good money. But Running a chipping hammer is pretty hard on the body. Working in a tight area, and wearing a respirator multiply the strain on your body. And finally, I doubt he charges by the hour, probably charges by the size of the drum, so drums in worse condition pay the same, but take longer... It's still good money, but you won't be able to do it for very long. It would be a great business to manage though, as long as your safety protocols are top notch and you never lose an employee in an accident. Take it from me, I'm in my 40s and I've been beating my body to death my entire working life. You can't do it forever

This is a hazardous job think about it all the air particles contaminated Go back in twenty years and see how this guys respiratory is or if some idiot turns on this truck and starts this mixer

When they chip our fleet, the guy in the drum has the keys in his pocket.

I've done this too many times. Part of my extra duties being on the plant maintenance crew for the concrete company I worked for. Paid off a car, and our first house with the overtime $$'s.

Lock out tag out? Air monitoring/ purging? Hole watch? Confined space ain't no joke

Yooo I would totally do this job, I gotta look in to this. I love shit like this

Contact your local ready mix companies. You’ll make a lot more than $150.

There isn’t enough hearing protection in the world to make me want to climb in there and hammer the concrete out
