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.
