I was so impressed by the ACPA article written by Robert Miller of CIFA/Zoomlion called " What the Contractors are Saying" it is spot on and well worth the read. This article deas with such topics as

"Dont just know your coasts, know your competitors costs"

"Diversify"

"Think Profit not Valume"

"Analyze your customer base"

The other article I loved was written by Rob Edwards (ConcretePumping.com's very own safety consultant) called Hose Whipping. Please do not miss this read.

Good Job ACPA

Ruducing in steel is far better than the reduction in rubber hose such as the ruffneck. Perhaps we should be reducing1/4" more in the steel reducer than the final tip hose ID. That would virtually ensure that there is no follow-up plug in the rubber. Thoughts?

Textile 4.5" FTW!!!

Todd, thanks for the acknowlegement, but please also give credit to Mrs. Collins of the ACPA, I was just helping her to get very needed points across to better the pumping industry for all.
