#2 Never have I seen a cement truck driver go into mud like that. In Va you aint got hard packed gravel across a mud field or steel decking they will tell you to go fuck yourself. At least that's the way it was twenty/thirty year ago.
#2 reminded me of some of the idiots I worked with delivering lumber down in Houston 40 years ago. I occasionally got caught by ground that looked dry and firm, but collapsed under the weight of the truck, but those idiots would try to drive on obvious mud.
#2 Had a mixer driver delivering 12 yards for a big porch, steps and walkway at a new home. Driveway was packed gravel all the way from the main road to the house, about 600 yards long. Halfway in, the mixer driver just pulls straight out into a field and sank deeper that the pictured truck. When the truck boss got there the driver claimed I waived him across the field. They had to bring two dump trucks, a backhoe and big front end loader plus trailers partially blocking the highway. Took about six hours to get the mixer out after they offloaded the mud into the dump trucks.
They trashed the highway with mud after extricating the mixer and had to bring back a crew to clean the hwy plus a street sweeper. When things dried out they had to repair the damage to the homeowners driveway and field. Oh yeah, the truck boss tried to get me to get the homeowner to sign a "release" which was supposed to happen before the driver entered the property (concrete co. rules). I told them not to sign anything except the check when they won in court. And, they had to deliver 12 more yards the following week to complete the job I was doing. It was delivered in two trucks with their two best drivers and releases were signed in advance.
#10 deja vu. After we rebuilt the house (after the fire). The delivery truck was arriving with all the new furniture. As it backed up the driveway, I was watching from the porch. Now we were finally able to move into the house after an expensive and prolonged town mandated project of connecting to town water and sewer. We had to use one of a list of town 'approved' contractors since not just anyone can dig a ditch, put pipe in it and cover it over. Cost: $44,000. So the furniture truck was backing up and as I watched I noticed the right-hand wheels settle into the ground, deeper, and deeper. Until the truck tipped over. I had to get another contractor to recompact the driveway and add material. Cost: $3,000. Living in the state of Massachusetts.
