shouldnt remote be next on the list beside your head??? every morning no matter what time i get to the shop or how tired i am you ALWAYS make sure you have EVERYTHING. in one swoop i check elbow,reducers,sponge,bucket,key,spare key,slurry,hard hat,remote,ass,and brain. you need to get it together shendran if you dont your gonna make a tough job 100 times tougher. God bless you

after doning this job for so long everything you do becomes a routine. a routine to get the job done safely and effectively. every job is the same thing just a different mix and place but the same routine. you need to get it together greenhorn or get out while you still can

well said bro.

This was a rare situation but one time I knew of an operator that showed up to the job without the pump! OOPS!

lmao seed i had a retard come to me said he was a operator and our boss hired and he rode with me for about two weeks and i told the boss he was an idiot always looked like he was stoned to the bone. the boss hired him anyway and his first day he didnt latch the hitch on the pump and rode like 20 miles to the job and right in front of our eyes on the job he hit a bump and the pump come unhitched broke both taillights and the jack i shook my head and walked away laughing my ass off and told the boss that was his problem he could deal with it lol

I guess I must not have a sense of humor...........................

I was getting on the interstate and saw a remote and a tool box on the side of the road. Picked it all up and called the competition and asked if one of their pumps was missing a remote...yep, took it all to the job where the operator was very grateful. This was in the days before wireless remotes.Developing a routine and staying in the routine reduces problems and promotes safety.

Mine rode the fender 50 miles back to the barn.  Heard the battery low beep while filling out logbook.  OMG
