Yes it is so typical .contractors drama queens.abautely behave like woke idiots out there but on a different level. You know contractors know it all. They do crappy work and demand an arm and a leg but when they are the client they demand top work and cheap price.
They wouldn't even have been pouring if I had done the pre-pour inspection. The concrete Slump would have failed miserably for almost any paving mix design.
@@hmangutters9956 Part of My job is testing concrete for the strength and such and this looks to be probably between 9-12 inch slump which is way beyond the spec for what is usually poured for any kind of pavement anywhere
They want to avoid having an extra truck because of the risk of not being able to unload the concrete. It could lead to a dry out in the truck totaling a concrete truck. The bet is something that if he wins motivates the guy to fire the guy who fucked up.
I always estimate high, then when it comes in under at the end, the customer is always ecstatic. Telling the customer its actually costing 1800 less at the end, makes everyone happy.
err except thats not how it works with concrete, you order a 6th truck full of concrete you have to do something with it. the company wont be happy if you tell them you've got nowhere to put a entire load of concrete that will eventually set in their truck if they dont dump it somewhere. if you overestimate with concrete you have to have a plan for where youre going to dump that extra concrete. Youre better off getting exactly what you need an d little bit extra in case, not an entire truck load. plus it wont cost the customer less, they will have to pay $1800 for a pile of concrete dumped on their property.
@@ge2719 it would be obvious that the last truck is not needed before it is even loaded. Normally, they would orxer five plus a clean-up. The concrete supplier would get a call telling them if they two yards or ten is needed to finish.

It costs money to move material, and that concrete was mixed and ready to go, so it has to go somewhere. So if it’s not used, that’s money out of his pocket.

You can’t return concrete that’s already loaded and hardening in the truck. It would’ve went more like this. “Oh gee Boss, we ordered too much concrete! Oh well, luckily I happen to have fully prepped and rebar-ed forms at my house for the new garage slab I was incidentally going to pour this weekend, how lucky, at least it won’t go to waste! Here’s the address, I’ll meet you there, I have guys on site already to do the finishing.”
Lmfao! "Return" the product... i have watched drivers pour out countless yards over the years into where the hell ever they could because "you ordered it, so you're getting it and i dont want to clean it".

@@mattiOTX you gotta be dumb as hell if you think a business like this couldn't take a $1800 hit. they have 10+ people. and why would having extra concrete cost a job ???
I think its a figure of speach. He was upset becouse he felt scammed even if he sayis something like that hes not believing that person will actually get fired but by escalating your complaint at the begining you have margin to deescalate from to actual results you want. Thats how you bargain. So what he wanted was that he will be not charged incorrectly and to press someone into accepting the deal which he got. I would have done(and did multiple times) the same with many diffrent situations ranging from wrong kfc order to 20+k$ renovation works.
Especially in setting up concrete! Sometimes the pour goes on after the concrete plant has shut down for the day and you can’t order another truck… THEN you are screwed…but had that 6th truck been ordered… It wouldn’t have mattered if that truck got unloaded at 8:15PM…. Still would have had it… Concrete is a whole other deal… that and epoxy/fiberglass layups( huge ones) on yachts n stuff.. best to do it all before it gels over…that way you got a chemical bond.. making it all one piece… instead of just a physical bond/surface bond…. Not nearly as strong.
@@ricardorascon88, Lots of people in the trades are interested in the other trades and want to learn about them. The more you know about the trade that's going to follow you, the better you can set up your trade . Example,,, concrete level for a ruff framing. Bricky, being square and level. If you know how to set up for the next tradesmen, word spreads, and you get more work!!
BS as a customer why would I pay you, just hire the other guy since the cost is the same? If you pour a thinner slab then it takes less crete. I know bs when I see it.
It blows my mind when people are so quick to want to fire someone they've never met or have no context of the "mistake" this guy probably wants everyone and anyone fired at first small mistake. You must be a perfect being! Edit: I get it that it was a pricey mistake and there is obviously a lack of context but I wonder if it was an honest mistake that happened rarely or if it's something that happens often. My best hard working employee has made mistakes as pricey but he's also made me 100xtimes with his help. It's important to know when to allow your employee to learn from his/her expensive mistake and how often it happens. My comment was based more solely on the way I've heard a ton of people speak so carelessly and pompous in such a casual way. I'm sure this is the normal way this guy talks often based on his videos.
Yeah hope he got fired. And he had a young family that relied on his salary. And they get evicted from thier home and suffer in poverty during the worst inflation in 40+ year's. Pft miscalculate in the cold. Then you'll learn.
Contractors order extra concrete because of grade variances. Its better to have slightly more concrete then not enough and have to wait. In big cities you could be waiting a while day because the trucks are booked out completely for the day
@@sicc_playboys_1383 10% variance is 5 yards..... thats more then half a truck. Yes I know a truck can hold 10 but they are usually about 8 yards in a typical truck. I've seen it time and time again contractors needing to order 1 yard to finish the job. Its better to over order and have waste then to not order enough and can't finish the job.
@@mattm3492 I miss understood you comment. I thought you were saying the extra truck was OK. An extra yard hardly ever 1.5 extra is acceptable. Your right.
After he made the deal he started loading the trucks with 8.50 yards and calling it 10 yards. And then said he didn’t have the load tickets from the plant😂🤣

I used to do from footing, yo form, and finishing....This story sounds crazy. Aint no way some migos did that. Them boyos know their concrete. Something here is missing
This crew was working for a contractor. The contractor had one of his employees measure for how much mud the job would take. He was off an entire truck. 9.5 yds is typical max load for mud. Nothing fishy.
First off as long as a concrete truck has not been loaded and on the way to the job then you can always bring down or adjust the order. I've worked as a mixer driver for different companies. This dude just robbed the customer XD
@@niagarawarrior9623lol na, the contactor had already been paid for the mix and was planning on the money being spent anyway so he tricked him into paying him exactly what he planned to pay and had him stop talking.
I was saying the exact same thing. I guarantee you he was out there telling his guys " this HAS to be done with 5 trucks." If he did that and then proceeded to keep the "bonus" then he's he's Grade A scumbag. If he split it with them, or at least a nice dinner for the boys, then I'd have no complaints
In construction there's such a thing as having more than needed than short to finish the job. You don't want to always cut it down to last bit of materials, you want to leave room incase something happens, and something happens alot. Better safe than sorry. In this case the bid included 6 trucks so contractor even paying for extra truck didn't loose nothing.
Yeah one extra truck of concrete is not that uncommon. That can easily come down to opinion on just how much contingency they’re planning for. And I do know people steal materials from the job site all the time but concrete? Pretty hard to discretely divert 10 tons of concrete without someone noticing lmao
1400 = nickel and diming apparently. And if his profit margin is so insane and hes getting jobs, guess what bro? You can start a competing mud company and just make a little less, but apparently still very good, profit margin and take all his jobs. Go do it. You dont know how shit works moron.
@@xxdeadoutxx761 LOL its a dealership that moves Millions of Dollars a year. By necessity, the WILL throw away more than $1800 in inventory just to avoid taxes. That's just how big business works. They would just rather that money goes in the trash rather than someone's pocket.
@@Manhandle730 its not... IDK why you have the profit magin of concrete in mind. This video was about the dealer ship saving $1800 by not letting the concrete guy order an extra truck "just in case". $1800 ain't shit when you look at how much money moves through a dealership and how much unsold product they dump to avoid paying taxes.
It's not explained right because shouldn't he only charge you for 5 anyways if he used 5 lol they're was no need to risk I would said if you need 6 I'll pay six or I'll pay 5 I'm not paying for something u might need that's like saying it might need 9 if I compact it lol 😉 😜
So the dude telling the story owns a cement mixer. He gets a call from the guy doing the job, tells him the size and ordered 6 trucks full of cement. He gets there, looks at it and says it doesn’t need 6 trucks only 5. So the deal is done that if it needs 6 trucks, the concreter gets the 6th one free, and if it only needs 5, the truck driver is still paid for the 6. I assume he questioned it because as the truck driver, he buys the cement and if he buys 6 truck fulls and the job only needs 5, they can say we don’t need the last one and not pay him so he’s out a load of cement that will be useless in a short time.
"Good" people don't go to heaven, because there's no such thing as a "good" person. The bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That is why we need Jesus who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. The only way to heaven is through Jesus. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

If the grade is poorly graded, I order extra concrete. Usually only ten percent though. And yes I do take averages. I'm always upfront and tell the customer what is going on. If they don't agree then they find someone else. Open and honest.
@@slxyerxo if they don’t work it, will you?

@Cuntycunterson assuming google calculator is correct. We're not even a big batchplant and I do 200m³/262yd³ in 10 hours. (Edit) I misread sorry, we're the same just prices gone up for cement and fuel get pushed to end user.
I had a similar situation. I told him 141 he said 200. It took 142 and he ate 5 full loads of concrete. To make matters worse, when he realized I was right, he called to cancel but the trucks were on the road and the supplier said best he could do is call them back but he still had to pay for them. The guy who was wrong said them “send them anyway”. He told me he did it for spite. I told him he would never get any favors out of the supplier that way. He was only 26, has some learning to do.
Yup. That’s a business where having too much mud is a curse. The concrete company isn’t taking it back for free. Once it’s in the mixer at the plant, it’s considered sold. At that point it needs dumped somewhere, or the mixer truck is destroyed.
At the end of the week on your pay check, if you want to make what I'm making, it will be 200k to be partner in the company like the owner had to pay to start the business. Easy to talk when you don't have any out of pocket money into the business but want to share in profits 😂
Dude loads can canceled before there loaded, he may have just said higher just in case so he would have a truck instead of waiting for a balance truck to show up.
Do not cancel please. Ask for a plus load or add a bit extra. By the time you've figured out you have too much I've already batched and the truck is on the way.
We always ordered more than we needed if we measured out at about 5 trucks perfect wed ask for a 6th with about quarter load and we did it so often they just started sending an extra truck with quarter load lmao (we paid extra and even gave the drivers something on top when they arrived)

I always estimate high, then when it comes in under at the end, the customer is always ecstatic. Telling the customer its actually costing 1800 less at the end, makes everyone happy.
That's the basics of giving estimates. Give too little of a estimate you'll either lose money or have an upset costumer.
@@henryl3617 you'd think it was basic, I lose alot of business who do not mind pissing off customers though lol
err except thats not how it works with concrete, you order a 6th truck full of concrete you have to do something with it. the company wont be happy if you tell them you've got nowhere to put a entire load of concrete that will eventually set in their truck if they dont dump it somewhere. if you overestimate with concrete you have to have a plan for where youre going to dump that extra concrete.
Youre better off getting exactly what you need an d little bit extra in case, not an entire truck load. plus it wont cost the customer less, they will have to pay $1800 for a pile of concrete dumped on their property.
Over estimating to the customer is one thing, but ordering an extra truck of concrete can be a big fucking problem.

Contractors do that ALLLLL the time!!! They'll order extra material, charge you 20% above market value, then return the extra product.

Always remember it’s better to have too much rather than not enough!!!
Especially in setting up concrete! Sometimes the pour goes on after the concrete plant has shut down for the day and you can’t order another truck… THEN you are screwed…but had that 6th truck been ordered… It wouldn’t have mattered if that truck got unloaded at 8:15PM…. Still would have had it…

Contractors order extra concrete because of grade variances. Its better to have slightly more concrete then not enough and have to wait. In big cities you could be waiting a while day because the trucks are booked out completely for the day
If your grade variance is by 10 yards you better quit being a contractor
@@sicc_playboys_1383 10% variance is 5 yards..... thats more then half a truck. Yes I know a truck can hold 10 but they are usually about 8 yards in a typical truck.

So the dude telling the story owns a cement mixer. He gets a call from the guy doing the job, tells him the size and ordered 6 trucks full of cement. He gets there, looks at it and says it doesn’t need 6 trucks only 5. So the deal is done that if it needs 6 trucks, the concreter gets the 6th one free, and if it only needs 5, the truck driver is still paid for the 6.
I assume he questioned it because as the truck driver, he buys the cement and if he buys 6 truck fulls and the job only needs 5, they can say we don’t need the last one and not pay him so he’s out a load of cement that will be useless in a short time.
