LOL it's called a batch plant. It's used on road and bridge construction sites to mix aggregates. Basically a portable cement factory.

LOL You probably don't do that every day. I've been doing this sort of thing for over 12 years so it's second nature to me. I feel strange driving a little car after driving my big rig. Just doesn't feel right.

I spent 8 years driving, your right it becomes second nature after awhile and it gets hard to drive anything like your every day car or truck.

I've never driven, but I sure am around them a lot at work since we're the 3rd busiest truck crossing between Canada and the US.  When I first started driving I was always so nervous around rigs, but now it doesn't bother me in the least bit.
