“I enjoy being part of a team and working together to get the job done, it's a new adventure every day! I’ve enjoyed sharing my knowledge and helping the next generation learn how to safely do their job. I enjoy seeing the little ones giving me the arm to toot my horn, I remember doing that as a child. Seeing them get excited when I do, makes my day a little brighter. I enjoy being able to show my kids and grandkids the wonderful things that I've done at work. I like to let them know that I try to make things better for everyone around me. Being part of this winning team is a wonderful job, that's why I've been here for over 20 years!” -Annette Ivie

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system etc. -NHTSA
We echo the NRMCA in thanking our ready mix drivers, "We all know that our industry and literally the entire construction sector would come to a sudden stop if not for the work ethic and dedication of professional mixer truck drivers. For that, we offer a heartfelt thank you for all you do for our industry, and the ready mixed concrete companies within."
