I read somewhere, don’t remember were online somewhere that some cities in Canada are not allowing ready-mix trucks off the road, in other words a ready-mix truck cant drive onto the job site, were is this and does anyone have any articles about this?

Hey

Well here in Toronro or the GTA they are not allowing them off road because of curbs and sidewalks and on some sites because the ramps are to narrow and well north of the city they dont because it is all sand and well they dont have tracks on them and well they get stuck so easy. One builder I pump some walls for north of Toronto tried to save some money on pumping and tried to pour a wall  and have the trucks drive over sand well all 5 were axle deep and what would have taken them 40 min with a pump took 10 hrs

 

What a saving...lol

But all the sites here are diffrent so some yes some no besides some of these mixer drivers cant drive on road let alone off road...lol

In the Toronto area they have passed a law that the concrete mixers are not to come no more that 2 meters to a excavated hole and they are not to add on anymore than the four, three foot shoots
