Hi to all here, from London England. Its sad to see you guys talking shop in your spare time (which ain't much, being a mixer driver.) The fact I'm year shows my age, I been in this game far to long, I'm starting to post messages on a mixer driver forum now. The grey stuff as finally got to me it seems, no hope for me now.  |

Ah, hell. It isn't so bad talking shop. It takes up so much of our time, its hard to just have it stop when you clock out.

I agree, Mort. Sometimes you have to unload and it helps if someone else knows what you're talking about.

A lot of kindred spirits here. That's a good way to see it.

Hi all, I was just pulling your legs about talking shop (joking) ;D
Batcher22 I work for my self as a cover driver, for the big four in London, not so much London Concrete, I got quite a few Owner Drivers I work for and the odd ones who have a few trucks, one guy as 17 trucks, but he's a pain in the arse.
Tarmac I do most work for and a bit of Hanson, but it differers from year to year.
What plant do you batch at Mr 22.

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year. Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year. That means the average American gets about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud to be an American.

I don't think you could classify us as "Average Americans". I know I drink more than my share. Hehe
