The American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) is pleased to announce a significant victory for concrete pumpers. On November 1, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) granted the ACPA’s request for an exemption for concrete pumpers from the requirement that short-haul drivers utilizing the records of duty status (RODS) exception return to their normal work-reporting location 12 hours from coming on duty.
The last couple of months have seen a flurry of successful activity in Washington for the American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA). Working diligently with other members of the North American Concrete Alliance (NACA)* we’ve advanced our interests on Capitol Hill. Some of the most recent highlights benefitting concrete pumpers include:
The American Concrete Pumping Association announces its newly instated Legacy Award for past and future recipients of ACPA’s Hall of Fame, Lifetime Achievement and Pioneer awards. The Legacy Award will give past award-winners and future recipients of these awards lifetime membership in the ACPA upon their retirement from the concrete pumping industry.
Daily-operated concrete pumps are the most cost-effective way to place concrete for most applications. The time savings, labor savings, increased quality and improved safety are more valuable than the cost of a daily-operated concrete pump.
The American Concrete Pumping Association (ACPA) announces the Concrete Pumping Association of Canada (CPAC) will now operate as an ACPA chapter, continuing under the CPAC name. The merger will give ACPA members from Canada a dedicated forum for addressing issues affecting Canadian pumpers. Current CPAC members will benefit from ACPA’s strong safety, training and concrete pump operator certification program.
