    If I'm being honest, these videos are not getting old. They show how diverse one day is from the next. If there's one thing that does repeat itself it's your dynamic personality and that will never get old. Something that would be fun is to share what you do on your days off

    The gifted mixer was pure comedy 😅 It’s not repetitive, I think the mixture (pun intended) of the cooking, driving, the work, and you talking one on one at the end makes for great videos. Keep up the great work!

  • @20truck

    That's a distribution box, you'll notice it has several holes on the side where you can run drainage lines into then it fills up with water and it allows whatever liquid to go evenly out through different pipes evenly. The box has to be perfectly level so that's why you put concrete around it once you get it in place. This might be a septic system they're putting in but I wouldn't think so being in the city. It's probably for stormwater management.

    • @CGT80

    Hello! The vault looks like an electric utilities vault with all of the recessed knockouts for pipe accesses but may also be a septic tank. The cast iron casting on top of the vault should identify its use whether it is electric, sewer or septic. The 3 sack sand backfill is used instead of having to backfill with the soil around the perimeter of the vault. A 3 sack mix is low strength (usually less than 200 psi to allow for future removal or access to the vault. Also it is sufficiently strong enough compared to compacted soil.

      Yeah, not likely septic in Brentwood or Santa Monica, those neighborhoods are way too posh for a septic system, especially Brentwood. If anything, it is massive electrical service install.

    • @SIINAPB
      @SIINAPB 7 месяцев назад +1

      yes! this is definitely a vault, the pipes that run into it are called duct bank, and sometimes they don't backfill but pour instead.

    • @finalbossfight
      @finalbossfight 7 месяцев назад +5

      You all are correct. That is a concrete vault for an electrical transformer. When you require larger service on a site, the city can't possibly fit all of the service transformers in the street since the streets are so small, so the owner needs to place a concrete vault in their yard.

    Hey Lexie, your a/c makes your fan come on to cool the aircon condensor, nothing to do with engine temp. The fan does put load on your engine, not alot, but it might be enough to reduce revs quicker when you back off to change gears, making the gears feel funny, you just need to be a micro second quicker with your hand during changes when ac is on or not back off as much with the accelerator. Also, stick with family, dont fall for the doing interstate thing, theres alot to be said for being home every night, i spent min. 6 nights a week sleeping in a bunk for 25 years all over Australia, good life but you miss so much, good work you, your Dad would be so proud and is obviously a good operator himself going by your abilities, stay safe out there 🇦🇺

If I was a young person watching, I would be totally fired up about being a mixer driver just because of the enthusiasm you show for your trade. II will be 58 in just a couple of days and I’ve only been a mixer driver for a year, I guess better late than never. You are right about the air condition. The engine has to work harder so it’s not your imagination lol. I hope all your dreams come true and that from this platform, the sky is the limit for you and this is only the beginning, I think it’s really cool that you’re able to work with your family and drive a big truck. My only question is… How do you stay so clean at the end of my day I look like I’ve been swimming and concrete and unless it’s an easy day, where I just have a few pump jobs, but usually no matter how hard I try I never look as clean as you do at the end of my day, keep be safe.

I would send her a better mask". As other commenters have mentioned, repeated exposures to things like concrete dust and spray paint can be harmful to your lungs over time. Please be safe and take care of yourself. Wishing you all the best 🙂!

    P.O Box would be a smart idea.

    Yes your engine fan and AC compressor rob the engine of power to run them. Thats why you'll hear people tell you to turn your fan on before you start climbing a hill so it doesn't kick on unexpectedly and force you to downshift because of the sudden loss of power.

    As a plumber, we used to have to pour what is called a "thrust block", which is basically a MASSIVE concrete block/counterweight that is poured around any 90 degree blue brute/watermain pip/fittings to counter the pressure that large water mains create when the water turns 90 degrees or more~ That however, with the multiple large inlet/outlet holes, that looks to be either some kind of a grease separator/sump, or catch basin which some municipalities require in any areas where automotive, or other sources of oil could potentially enter the grey water/storm systems, especially in Cali if the storm sewer water drains directly into the ocean. Here in BC, Canada, oil separators are typically only required in commercial/industrial applications, Ie warehouses, automotive garages, industrial use buildings, etc. But I have seen them installed in residential applications for larger houses, that have LARGE garages, with potentially LOTS of cars parked on the property.

      I did a little plumbing repair on a golf course just outside LA where I learned from my brother what a thrust block is. It was 6"and 8" water lines in a T configuration and it blew a hole vertical down at the T. The golf course was built on an old landfill, so we did a few repairs there. My guess is an electrical vault in the video. It could be storm water, but that is a huge box to have at the front of a building.

    I enjoy the videos because I like seeing what California looks like. If you could also do videos of just showing some more of what California looks like that would be great. Like streets people and houses and cool restaurants and stuff. I agree with all the commenters too about your personality. You could honestly probably be a show host like what Ryan Seacrest does.

    I think , I feel certain things with my truck. But im a long haul driver. But like if I'm low in fuel my truck works different. Never let it fall below 1/4 but ac works different. Truck trembles more. I get you. You can feel when your truck don't like something. Sometimes I think I crazy for that. And no I'm not a beginner. 25 yrs.

    With ALL vehicles, putting on the AC adds tension to the engine (Turns on by a Belt). Thats why its Feels like the engine Works more (Also guzzles more gas) ⛽

    Lexie, the box you are talking about can be anything from an electrical register to a chest to store clean water or dirty water.

  • @RyanEvan314

    When pumpers would have those elevated grates, I would add water to help it get through the grate- if possible (Flat work or any work that a higher slump will work with). If not re-position it to lay flat and then lower your chute and let gravity do its work, you won’t have to bump the grate as much.

    I subbed your channel a couple days ago & have watched several videos. You're definitely on to something here, please keep going. I love your content, you're beautiful & great in front of the camera! I drive 18 wheeler across country but getting ready to switch back to oilfield work. I've always wondered about mixer trucks, it's great to see how your days go. ❤

    I am new here. Just saw this video recommendation and watched some of your other vids. This is interesting! A young Latina driving & operating a concrete mixer truck in L.A, California! 🙂 Just my honest opinion -- Perhaps, do not rush to get a P.O. Box yet, and think about it. You might also get flooded with marriage or dating proposals. Also think about personal safety such as, someone else should visit the post office. I see some other suggestions of an Amazon wish list or maybe Patreon.

    I think the mixer driver are under appreciated . You are the face buyers see. You all have schedules that change daily. Remember, drivers getting off shift and returns a few hours later. To make another 30k yard plus pour. Then, no work for a bit. Fest or famine. I was hdr/welder and operator.
    Was wondering do they put ice in the mix for summer heat? We do here because of the heat
    Summer is almost always 100° plus.

    Luv the vid, Its funny how different areas say pours differently, On the west coast its chute pour on the East coast its straight pour, pump is a pump no going around that logic. I think the po box is cool it will help smaller companies get exposure with their products and all ! I hope you find out who stole your lunch ! lol
