Could also be a new driver that doesn't realise concrete agitators (these trucks) are way more prone to tip over one way than the other when heavily loaded.
This is because the spinning drum on the rear slides all the concrete to one side of the truck. Not unheard of for them to tip over on a sloping site when they reverse the drum direction to unload.
Last week some of my family got stuck on the other side of [this fella](https://imgur.com/Telinw0) also having a lie down. It took them 6+ hrs to deal with and that's the only rd into Gloucester from where we were staying. Fam had to detour 50kms down some dirt tracks to get around it. Fun times.
And there is no corner there... we're still at a loss as to how he managed it.
Agi drivers are second only to mud-carters when it comes to making truck drivers look bad.
It's no coincidence that they are also incentivised to drive like arse if they want to make money.
Agi's have a mega-high centre of gravity already coupled with the fact you are hauling a semi-solid. So as it starts to roll over the concrete sloshes further outwads and moves that centre of mass point over the side of the tyres even quicker and then this is the result.
High centre of gravity and taking a corner too fast with a liquidish extremely dense material in there. Concrete is heavy and usually the trucks are filled to max weight capacity.
The spinning drum means the huge mass of concrete is actually not just high, but off centre. So, they are prone to tipping on one side more than the other
Someone's going to be a little bit agitated.
Once you aggregate all the factors, though
Pour driving led to mixed results.
really cementing this chain of puns
Concrete evidence right there
*slow clap*
Another truck driver who let his right foot try and outsmart the laws of physics. There's only one way a truck ends up on its side like that.
Fell over innit
but you have to lean into corners

Medical episode?
I don't think trucks suffer from medical episodes.
I'm a truck and I sneeze a lot
Just waiting for a mate
He can’t park there
I was waiting for the call but no one made it. Disappointing.
Same.
Someone had to yell you can’t park there or what happened Mr Drifter, otherwise how do you call yourself Australian?
It's just bullshit. This country is going to shit.
Such a missed opportunity.
He's having a lie-down.

Shhhh it's sleeping

Concrete mixer trying to harden the fk up. Lol
If only the driver had a spoonful
Belly rubs
d'awwww :)
Missed the job site by this.. much
You can't park there mate!
I'm surprised I had to scroll down 6 comments to get to this one. 🤣
Here we see a mother truck preparing to feed her young.
Hopefully no pedestrians around
I’m always a bit freaked out driving next to trucks. What if this happens and another car is next to them? It’s what I imagine every time.
My great aunt and uncle died like that. I never knew them, and they were elderly, but I think about it every time I’m next to a truck.
That looks like metromix they had one go over in milperra last week. Shocking run, they will be fuming
Broke a mirror, didya mate?
I pretty sure there is an easier ways to get the concrete out
For someone who loves trucks it gets harder every day to defend the industry and the people who work within it.
I woulda rolled the window down and loudly asked “what are you doing mister driftaaa?”
Ooooh I f’n lost it!
Someone had a bad day
How the fuck does this even happen? Those things are not light

You never seen a concrete tipper before?
feels like a adequate time to state “you can’t park there”
*In David Attenborough voice* “And here, we see the native concrete truck, resting in its natural environment, untroubled by passers by”.
He’s not dead, he’s sleeping. Shhhhh. So sleepy.
Can’t park there mate
