The company I used to work for

This is why in some places they dont let the readymix truck pull off of the road. All jobs have to be pumped.

Yeah when I used to drive a mixer I did some hairy stuff but that was part of the fun of it I almost rolled one around the back of a basement wall not fun that was when I was green I didn't know any better I was 19. In the pic the driver is just mixing up ll yds the support broke can happen anywhere

Todd you got it right all jobs should be pumped here they drive the mixer all around the lots getting stuck I have seen as many as  two loaded mixer's trying to pull one thats stuck in mud almost flipping them over or driving around house foundations pouring footers or doing block fill from the chute.Then track mud down the street.

I was going to say, that angle doesn't look like nearly enough to tip that truck over (I used to drive a truck like that). That's quite the uh-oh.

So much for pre trips and walk arounds.Get in her and go,high 'ol silver!!

Maybe broke some bolts on the last job?  Never seen one just fall off like that.  I know where they fix em.

Your right that freaks of nature do happen.In all probability things such as this should have been caught.The driver in everyday walk arounds they should look for cracks,loose or missing bolts.In the shop at scheduled sevices,just taking the time while resting on the creeper.

Once upon a time I had the sevice people jack the pumps up and pressure wash the frames/undercarriage on the pumps on services.Several people questioned that wisdom,a clean pump is a happy pump,inside and out.
