I think we need a one or two page sheet of paper that Concrete Pumping companies can give to a contractor or someone that is needing a concrete pump. Keeping that in mind what would be on that sheet.
1.Level Place to set up the Concrete Pump.
2.Wash out area
3.Power lines
4.Job site water.
What else would go on this list and what should the sheet say?
I know each of these things need to be elaborate on.
The nice thing about this is that each owner, or salesman or operator could keep these in his rig and pass them out to help set up a standard that should be expected when a pump drives up onto a job site. |

when you unionize and make this an exclusive equipment operator business. then making customers to drop the arrognace to make a smooth and safe enviroment well then you you would have a a level playing field for all. but now you cannot control the price of service and the insurance liability. i have those rules written and on the job to show the customer when i stop his job, and yea all they want you to do is drive off unpaid. do they call that construction theift, do you need to call the police to have the customer pay or else. write that rule up and have the customer sign it and see how long this business works out. not trying to be pissy but thats the reality of where its going. |
