My main position in the company I work for is to pump concrete, which unfortunately is not an everyday occurance. On the days that I don't have any pumping I could find my self doing other jobs like, driving a truck, floating equipment, operating excavators, dozers, loaders, or just in the shop bending wrenches. Does anyone else have a job like this, or is pumping your one and only thing?

i am a concrete pump operator by day, curb grinder (i have a mill that planes street curb) and electrician at night, oh and i ride my PEDAL (mountain) bike too. as a matter of fact, i just got home from a great thursday night ride.

as of lately, a line pump operater, peagravel, shotcrete,hardrock, you name it, but today i oiled o the 55, 100' of 3" line 1/2 way through we removed the system and my mentor gave me the remote and said have fun.

first time on a boom all year, i almost forgot how to,(not), and he thanked me for givin him a brake, i said, no, thank you for giving me back me sanity,620 yards in all.

The company that I work for is a road builder.They have me do lots of stuff other than pump cause just like slinger said pumping is not an everyday thing right now.I drive a counterweight truck for our crane division,drive concrete mixers,flatbeds,dumptrucks,tankers.Thats the good thing about the company I work for,the bad thing is the whole company is not doing much.If we were only a pump company we would be in bad shape.Last week we only had 3 little jobs for 4 pumps.

jack of all trades when not pumping.until recently was ok but now pay rate has dropped to a min.dont want to work for less than when i started.but have to do what it takes to make a pay-day.

I primarily pump mud but, also do my mechanics and maintenance. I also drive cranes when my boss needs to do crane work and, sometimes I rig as well. Yeah the hours have been sucking lately but, that is how it is now and, I can live with that reality. Our company sold a line pump to one of my contractors and, I do his maintenance as well and, will be operating his pump Monday for him. His operator is on vacation which is good for me.
