Sounds about right. I drove for another company Lafarge owned…..these trucks haul 10 cubic metres (1.308 yds per meter. A 10 M3 truck is in fact a 13 yd truck. Not sure of tare weight, but a smaller tandem truck with single steer and no booster back axle commonly wigh in at 12T plus. I would guess at least 16-20 tonnes empty.My freind Al is the driver/owner of the green tow truck.
[..YouTube..] I no how this guy feels ,do everthing you can for the customer , they they write you up for it . I did push the envelope when i use to drive . Anybody no if ( DRIVERCAM ) got this on tape

[..YouTube..] Smart thing to do is unload thetruck into a dumster and pull it out with another loaded truck I would have never ordered a tow truck as long as the mixer had power. The load of concrete cost a lot less than a pair of tires rims and all the tow trucks.

[..YouTube..] Good point, except that it never could have been pulled out without the boom holding the weight on the left side of the truck. What the camera did not show was that the left rear wheels were essentially wedged against the side of the trench, without any real support under them. They would have snagged on coming forward, and probably would have been torn off on just a straight pull from another truck.They were going to dump the concrete out; I don’t know whey they didn’t.

[..YouTube..] We use to back our trucks as far as we could we would bury the axles then unload the truck after unloaded we would use 2 loaded trucks to pull out the stuck truck. The stuck truck would not just sit there there was a driver in the truck with transmission in lowest gear doing his best to walk it out. Sure that axle was buried but it would have walked out in its lowest gear being yanked out by another loaded truck. In the south they would do this to avoid paying for a pump truck.

[..YouTube..] Yeah, I got that. But this one didn’t have anything UNDER the left wheels; they were wedged tight against the side of the trench (and the asphalt), not just sunk into dirt or muck.Maybe your way would have worked, but it sure didn’t look that way at the time.Peace, out.

[..YouTube..] at 3:52 the v100 heavy is hooked in and starts to load the suspetion but he still doesnt have the outriggers down. is that wrecker such a beast it doesnt need them or is the crowd gathering around Al have him nervous enough to forget. i cant tell….maybe he puts them down after the camera moves away.

[..YouTube..] I was a ready mix driver the load would have come out. We have gotten trucks stuck up to their axles we unload them get a loaded truck to pull them out. We never used a pump truck in Ms. We would back the trucks up as fast as we could till we got stuck they would then build ramps from where the trucks were stuck or wheelbarrow the load to the site we did this umpteen times. Started trucking in 87 been around a few trucks. In Ca they use a pump truck to place concrete for sidewalks.

[..YouTube..] Here in NYC they use pumps of all kinds . From massive ones that can place cement over 200 feet , to tow behind pumps that you can use to pump into basements . Anyway This guy had nothing underneath him . And I think they did the right thing . He could have fallen deeper into that hole . If they would have tried to unload then cowboy it out .

[..YouTube..] These trucks haul 10.4 cubic metres. The tandem drive axles have 37,000 kilos on them with the booster up, or 81,000 lb. for you yanks. The hole is actually a deep trench that had a steel plate incorrectly place over it. The weight of the truck is wedged on the trench. They did a great job getting it out safely. Pulling with loaded trucks would have caused more damage with out a doubt. Broken axles or rerar ends for sure.

[..YouTube..] Concrete was still usable? There’s no time limit on that mix? Most contracts I deal with have specific time limits. I’ll bet that crap was starting to set unless it was a 3 bag mix…lol

[..YouTube..] i would just grabbed a seat by my truck and let the people who guided me there pull out my truck then once out discharge the concrete then send em the bill for repairs in the mail.
