Here in SC the mixer trucks have the engine on a separate little dolly
on the back of the truck, it looks really weird. It's like a pusher
arrangement.

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.

Nope. Modern Mixers carry plenty of water to do "Wash-out", Ever notice that the drum is ALWAYS turning while in motion?
