we did a 200 yarder with 4 LBS of fiber per yard yesterday, and then 800 yards of streets.. had 3 trucks about turn over on the street pour because of the TERRIBLE "preperation" done to the job.. They clean the grade up real good and put all the shlt right in the way and expect us to back through it, One truck was leaning so bad that the boosters were eye level. Then the main office calls down and tells us that the customer is upset and we need to listen to their directions, so I got on the radio and asked "what happened to not putting the truck where you don't feel comfortable" and they didnt say a word..

That's what I do. "Yea, this situation isn't safe at all." End of discussion. In the end, our company will back up a driver who practices safety.

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW STEEL FIBERS PUT A REAL NICE "EDGE" ON THE FINS?...."GLOWING LIKE THE METAL ON THE EDGE OF A KNIFE"

Only time I ever hauled metal fibers was 25lbs per yard. I'm just glad we have that slumpmaster, I would've HATED to haul all that crap up a ladder.
And Gant, dude, I wouldn't have put a truck anywhere near a place like that. You guys were right. I've often thought that the company should send a driver out to a job like that before it starts, to make sure everything is kosher. It would save a lot of time and headaches.

That's what the sales people are supposed to do. However, I've only seen one of our salesman on a job and that was a long time ago. Sometimes I forget that we actually have salesmen. |

I'm pretty sure ours don't even have CDLs, let alone know very well what a truck will and won't do. |

last summer we were doing this job that was constantly getting pickets thrown up and the plant manager had to get in the trucks and cross them while we stood on the side of the road and laughed.. I loved it when an old beater showed up and he had to figure it out..
