I know they carry plenty of water but if you give the guy the option he'll use a hose thats already out every time. Saves him having to uncoil and recoil his own hose.
The fact remains though, they aren't ALWAYS in motion. I do tend to notice a truck which doesn't have its drum in motion though... Are you perhaps thinking that the trucks don't have the ability to stop the drum? Which type of truck do they have in CT? Here in MA you get mostly front dumpers, small cab, drum opening faces forward. Where I grew up in ME we had mostly rear dumpers, normal truck cab up front, drum facing backward. I wouldn't be surprised to hear theres an important functional difference between the two. Most of what I know is about rear dumpers. -Curt Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 18:05:46 +0000 (UTC) From: pm7...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [MBZ] O/T Concrete Mixer Trivia To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <1040219728.6523011249409146290.javamail.r...@sz0127a.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Nope. Modern Mixers carry plenty of water to do "Wash-out", Ever notice that the drum is ALWAYS turning while in motion? -- Peter T.
