Who is typically responsible for ensuring the load is directed to the specified pour location?

• A. The quality inspector.
• B. The driver alone.
• C. The delivery driver under coordination with the job-site supervisor.
• D. The project owner.

Answer: (C)

Directing the load to the specified pour location is a team effort between the delivery driver and the person overseeing the job site. The driver handles the concrete discharge and must place it where the pour plan calls for, but precise placement requires guidance from the on-site supervisor who knows the exact pour location, access, forms, and any site constraints. The supervisor communicates the plan to the driver and coordinates with pumps, chutes, and equipment to ensure the concrete goes exactly where it’s supposed to. The quality inspector focuses on testing and compliance rather than directing placement, and the project owner isn’t involved in the day-to-day directing of where concrete is placed. So the driver, working in coordination with the job-site supervisor, is responsible for directing the load to the correct pour location.
