It’s a confined space entry! Annual training and certifications are required. When things go wrong, it is normally a body recovery, not a rescue. Back in the day, the driver had to climb in and chip it out, because it was his mess. He failed to adhere to the instructions. Don’t let the cement set up in the mixer and add water after the off load, and rotate the drum until you can get to the a dumping site.

(1986) The mixer drivers would do it right onsite,so it would all just get buried anyway. It wouldn't have a chance to dry at all. The trucks had their own water tanks and hoses. I thought they ALL did. If a 14 year old kid knew this,close to 40 years ago,no one has any excuse now.

Washing out from the top can only get so much of it out. There's always going to be some that stays stuck in the corners no matter how much spraying and spinning you do. Chipping is part of the deal. What's really hell is when there's a major breakdown and they aren't able to get the load off, leaving 10 yds of set concrete in the drum. Old school drivers still carry bags of various things meant to ruin the concrete that they throw in if everything goes to hell so it doesn't harden as it sets up.

$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

It’s a confined space entry! Annual training and certifications are required. When things go wrong, it is normally a body recovery, not a rescue. Back in the day, the driver had to climb in and chip it out, because it was his mess. He failed to adhere to the instructions. Don’t let the cement set up in the mixer and add water after the off load, and rotate the drum until you can get to the a dumping site.

After you get the complete barrel, nice and chipped out, you should spray it with a mix of diesel and hydraulic fluid so that the concrete won’t stick to the walls anymore.

My dad did this as a teenager in MS during the summers. He said it was BRUTAL and Sooo hot it would make you almost faint in a short time. He said it was BEYOND deafening and even good (hardly existed) ear protection back then didn't completely help.

150? That pretty cheap. Here in Houston i got a guy that charges 250 a hour. If he takes less then 1 hour he charges 300.

@@randomjunk1984 very impressive. 150 x 2 is indeed 300. But what's your point? This guy paid 150 and it took the guy 30 min. The commenter says if his guy did the job it would have been 300 since it was a min charge for less than one hour. So his guy would charge 300 so he says that the 150 the video guy paid was cheap. ...and it was. Half price. But why do you feel the need to specify that 150 x 2 = 300. ? Did you miss something ?

@@invictusbp1prop143 you know what's not very impressive? You coming on here acting all erroneous and insulting, yet you can't grasp the fact that he said that $150 for a half hour is cheap and then said he has a guy who charges $250 an hour. Pay attention now buddy, here's where the math comes into play: since 2x150=300. His guy in Houston charges $250 with a $300 minimum charge. Are you still with me? Since $300>$250 this guy's rate is higher. Do you get it now, or do I have to draw you a picture? Edited for typo*

2022 you need too get in a older mixer cause you didn’t learn how too wash down your truck ! Then whoever trained you needs a demotion !
“Mann I just saved my self 150 bucks” 😂
150 bucks definitely got your money worth
It's not the time you're paying for, it's his experience.
I mean, inhaling silica dust constantly, working inside an enclosed space, a *metallic* enclosed space hammering and going deaf... You bet its expensive.
I use one of those chipping guns everyday in a foundry to remove slag in our pouring boxes
Looks like a confined space to me.

They're gonna get buildup no matter how much time you spend washing out.
I've done this the worst part is climbing in and getting back out and you definitely want to park the truck in the shade
It pays the bills, but the dust will catch up to you
That doesn’t sound very expensive. I’d say he’s worth it
It's a tough job, doubt it's easy to find a comfortable position to work in and you know, 150 ain't a lot. For a 30 min job, that dude's great. You're on the road quicker and he has the skills to pull in money while not bleeding the customer
I can only imagine how loud it gets in their with the tool running. And the heat. The dust.
Not sure how long it takes for build up to occur but I'm pretty sure your supposed to power spray out the mixer drum after a haul or before parking the truck for the end of work week.

Washing out from the top can only get so much of it out. There's always going to be some that stays stuck in the corners no matter how much spraying and spinning you do. Chipping is part of the deal. What's really hell is when there's a major breakdown and they aren't able to get the load off, leaving 10 yds of set concrete in the drum. Old school drivers still carry bags of various things meant to ruin the concrete that they throw in if everything goes to hell so it doesn't harden as it sets up.

You could suffocate, inhale so much dust it kills you, or your eyes could get messed up, you could get heat stroke, it could start rotating again randomly and break bones, chunks of concrete could smack your brain, they might even drive off or fill it with liquid concrete WCS. Enclosed spaces are terrifying even if they seem innoccuous to an untrained person. I welcome you to try it out if you think it'll be easy work
I like the way Mythbusters cleaned out the dried cement!
myth busters got a way easier way to clean that out
Dude I really enjoy how you show the entire business 🤩🙌

"I'm starting to think I'm in the wrong business" after paying the man only 150 to climb into a spinning death trap
In Texas the chipper would use low explosive on the really bad ones. Funny as hell.
You got a smoking deal $150?! That's not a job you want once you know about the exposure of doing this. That man is cleaving off many years of his life doing this. It's not simple dust, it's silica, look at what silica do to your lungs. As well as power tool inside confined space, say good bye to your hearing in a minimum of a few week. What about gas levels inside, think there is enough oxygen in that tank? Ever got cement pieces make it through your safety glasses and right into your eyes? Yeah man I think you should reconsider your opinions and remain a truck operator instead.
The trades need to pay more
Maybe you need to do it yourself next time so you can save that lousy 150 you paid him
$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
