Tonight Mike is working super late so I offered to bring him dinner and he asked if I wanted to go for a ride. I got to see what he does everyday.
First the trucks all line up and wait to get Loaded with Concrete. When the Concrete hits the bed of the truck it feels like your smack dab in the middle of a big 'ol earthquake! Then they take off and get on the Interstate (that's a Freeway for all you Cali folks). Then cut into the middle of the Instate do a U-turn then drive forever (okay maybe not forever..but i had to pee and it was a dirt road!!!)
Then they back up into the machine that they dump the concrete onto. The machine has a little conveyor belt that drops the concrete onto the ground.
Then, they drive back on the bumpy drit road and down the side of the freeway, to go back to the yard and get more Concrete. Yup in those big trucks with all that weight behind them they go down this hill...SCARY!!!
But no worries, my Mans a pro! He Drives Truck, and he's pretty good at it too :)

You are a brave woman for getting in that truck. I would just trust Mike and take his word for it.
