What happens here

A large concrete mixer truck (from 'Schmitz' company) arrives at the roadside. The power buggy is positioned under the truck's chute. The concrete truck driver begins to discharge a 6-bag mix of concrete, which includes low-chert aggregate and fiber mesh. Ryan explains that the truck is loaded with 9.5 yards of concrete (the maximum in Wisconsin due to weight limits). He also explains that the 'slump' (wetness) of the concrete is an important factor indicating workability and potential working time.

Goal: Safely load the power buggy with concrete from a mixer truck.
