Yes........ but we are supposed to not say anything.

I will say that it is a ConcretePumping.com regular poster

I think that tomorrow is the day that the cat gets let out of the bag.

And as far as I am concerned you ALL DID WIN

;~)

I am confused who makes this decision ? the same guys that have f-cked up this industry ? now as much of an honor as it is for whomever won it I would not take a whole lot from it, now i am sure this guy is a very deserving and great operator no doubts about that and congrats to him I am not in any means slamming him,with that said I will slam the ones in charge we need to be spending alot more time figuring how we get out of this mess all of these "big dogs"(this still makes me laugh) and manufacturers have put us in,what a trophy to have and plenty of time to look at it cause jobs are so scarce and if he does get one its probably bought to much time giving accolades and not reprimanding ones at fault I bet putz will be getting all kind of awards what a croc of shit,lets givem the We F-cked Up The Industry Award thats fitting and lets give Boomer the middle finger award because he f-cked all his competition from working for profit,and Obrien the award for spreading all the word about whos f-cking everything up Im thru ranting just my take on a few things

its a nightmare, constantly plugging in the reducer but doable, make sure its piss wet coming out of the truck

Some lightweight pumps OK with 4" but you may need to slow the pump down a bit to keep the 5x4 happy.

Thanks for the tips! I run 100 ' of rubber often. For the light weight are going to run mostly steel and at most 50 ' of rubber. In total about 150 ' of system off the boom.
