My first and second day

Story by Manuel, Alfred

I remember my first and second day like it happened yesterday. back in 2001 the company I worked for only had an Olin and an old 1978 dodge 318 flat bed. we poured 20cy footings around the perimeter of church which was about 3-4 acres big. the guy that ran the pump set up 100 ft of 3 inch line then we did 3 moves. the sick part was that the operator was pissed cause I was the boss made me the driver of the truck from that day on so the operator was kind of mad at me. The reason is he didn’t have a license. When I think of how we did that job now I crack my self up cause when we moved those hoses he actually made me drag the hose the first 200 ft the disconnected the hose at the reducer move the pump then drag the hose down to reconnected. he could have at least dry pumped the line out a bit to make it lighter. but anyways it took us about 6 hours from leave yard to arrive. i used to think that pump was the fastest pump lol 30 ph.

The next day we had a pour on a base pumping those vinyl fence post holes. The operator didn’t show up so I had to go solo lol. Had to run 200 ft of 2 inch hoses for 6 houses. did 3 moves on that one thank god for the laborers they had there. I was told what to do and how to do it by the boss over the phone. After that job I had about 18 green bottles lol and a bonus I was happy.
