I normally can sit close to my computer but not today, the day started with a flat tire. The Concrete Guys all work past dark and someone backed a trailer to close to the burn pile and got a nail. At 6 am we was all to busy to deal with it, meaning me and my 2 crews (yea we start in the dark too). We started our day and one the crews took a different trailer for the beginning of the day and moved equipment around knowing that trailer with a flat needed up and running buy noon, that was all on me.. They had to much to do.. Rain got us a half day- a day behind schedule, I was in a hurry threw a plug in.. Most the time that is good enough.. Mile from shop boom.. it blew.. chit... 3 trucks different locations comming between noon and 1.. I need to be at one those locations only cause I got a call when I was hooking up the trailer to bring to him.. I could hear in his voice he needed me.. So I half assed the tire.. off I went.. Boom.. chit called the estimator, reschedule your 3 pm and get to Him.. What wrong? I blew a tire I am not sure if I will make it.. but I will race ya.. estimator say, "WTF"... I laugh and say, you will beat me that is why I called you.. I said," I will be there this is not the first nor will it be the last".....drove 45 mins missing a tire on a trailer.. drove in the slow lane not only being easy on the one tire on that side... but so less ppl would see I was missing a tire.. I made it there.. got it done.. then went and got tire fixed.. just another day in the life of The Concrete Guys.... Stressed to the max.. but live for these kinda days.. nothing gets in my way.....
