Compared to our concrete companies, particularly Holcim, the Swiss company, which bought the Australian operations from Cemex of Mexico after Cemex bought the original Australian owned company in USA about 10 years ago, big presence in the Sthern US states of Texas, Florida - name just now escapes me. Cemex did not want the Australian and New Zealand operations. Locally Holcim has a culture of clean trucks, and most are owner drivers with real good contracts - they make good money The ready mix companies here are all locally owned and they serve a population of 2.9M people, most trucks owned by local companies in bigger cities in the U.S. are dirty. You should see some of the rigs in New York!

mackey58 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I have to say In my opinion I ve never seen a dirty stork truck unless the weather is crapy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54787-st-louis-mack-trucks/page/10/#findComment-461335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrybarbon Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Well said, clean agi's is a labour of love, my cousin is an owner driver with Holcim and 1 of his close mates has been with Boral concrete for 35 years, all the guys in their plants are very fussy with their agi's, especially continuously cleaning out left over concrete in their barrels, today the barrel metal skin is relatively thin, if left over concrete builds up, to remove it can easily become holes in the barrel skin, both these 2 guys have all the alloy tanks etc polished every 6 months. There are some smaller private owned concrete plants that have all their company owned trucks and barrels spotless, no matter the weather and there are some who don't care for their trucks' appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54787-st-louis-mack-trucks/page/10/#findComment-461409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
