Stuck and broken


Stuck and broken

Sorry its been so long since I have posted anything on here. This picture sums it all up in some ways. We had a real challenging time getting concrete down, its done now, but as you can see in the photos it was a challenge.
So, for this photo, the caption: Fully loaded with 11 yards of concrete and weighing in around 90,000 lbs this truck started sinking in our driveway on the left side. He sunk down about 6 inches and we all decided it was time to back off and try something else. He put it in reverse and started heading out. This is a 6 wheel drive, 3 locking axle truck. It started back, got about 20 feet and broke the front axle. Stuck. 90,000 lbs, 11 yards of wet concrete that has to keep spinning and no way to get it down the hill to where it needs to be.
