Lord.
MY truck would not start this morning, kept turning over and over, but no start, she acted like she was gonna start, but never did. Ran the batteries low, and decided to quit before I killed em' I decided she was mad at me because I took pictures of her dirty spots yesterday, and just didn't want to wake up and get with the nasty!
So, I looked around for a truck and the closest truck was a automatic mack, so I called and said "my truck wont start, i'm getting in "xxx" truck, Ok? "ok" so I go and haul a load, get lost on the way, and am late, just couldn't see the other mixers is all. So, I'm pouring out and they're double pouring (two trucks next to each other, i mean close too) Which is asking for trouble! So i'm on a quite severe left lean (not dangerous, but enough since i have all three chutes on they are at about a 45 degree angle on the third chute) I can't pour fast because of this. So, this guy who has been out for awhile, he's backing up next to me, and I suddenly hear... "WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOA then SKKKKKKREEEEEEEEEEECHHHHHHH BAM CRAK FLAK" then I hear PSSSHHHHHT FWEEEEEEE and water's going everywhere.
I'm like "I didn't know there was a f-uckin' fire hydrant here" and I notice my drum has stopped, so I drop the control and run foward and discover that the other truck's chute, swung over and knocked the muffler in two, and then continued and pushed the water tank into the hydraulic oil filter housing, then cracked it's housing, and now oil's spraying everywhere, and my water tank has a hole big enough to drive a truck through. I can't go into specifics, but what happened is the contractor let go of the chute while he was backing up, and it swung into the truck. Here's a cell phone picture of the driver's side.
