Once again working with drilling crew.
The general plan is to drill Mondays and Wednesdays, insert rebar cages and pour concrete on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The drilling crew does not work Fridays, or at least not on this jobsite, except in cases where they shut down public access to get drilling done on a weekend.

This is super easy, I back into position under the clamshell, they fill me up, and I go across to the opposite side of the jobsite and dump out. Only problem is the mess that this mud leaves on the truck, and occasional broken sideboard due to the swinging clamshell. From 2006 to 2010, I drove flatbed truck for the company that hauls all of the equipment for this drilling company. So its been 10 years since, but I seem to recall that the clamshell is between 35-40 thousand pounds, so when that hits the sideboards loaded, they break easily. The liner "can" if I recall, is about 27-30 thousand pounds, 3 meters in diameter or close to 9-1/2 feet. Until writing this post, I never really thought about getting photos of the flatbed trucking company that I used to work for, as they make their deliveries here.
While that flatbed work was interesting, I prefer the dumptruck. Just something about driving past a location years later, and saying "I helped build that".
