Florida Driver Named “Best of the Best” at NRMCA’s National Mixer Driver Championship

Kissimmee, Florida – October 6, 2019 – Ready mixed concrete mixer truck driver Luis Martinez from Maschmeyer Concrete of Orlando, Florida, earned top honors at this year’s National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s National Mixer Driver Championship. The event was held at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, just outside Orlando, Florida, in conjunction with NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks 2019. Mr. Martinez also earned the champion’s check of $5,000. Luis has been driving for Maschmeyer Concrete for 5 years and was the runner-up in the 2017 Florida Concrete & Products Association State Safety & Skills Competition.
 
Now in its 14th year, this year’s national contest “was the largest group of drivers to ever compete,” according to NRMCA’s Executive Vice President of Operations and Compliance, Gary Mullings. Ninety-six drivers, which included state rodeo champions, as well as NRMCA member company champions from around the nation, competed to be crowned the “Best of
the Best”. Mr. Martinez was selected champion based on a
cumulative score derived from competitions that included a driving challenge course, visual vehicle inspection, reaction-time test, delivery ticket station and a 2-hour written examination. Awards were presented for the top five finishers. The Truck Mixer Manufacturers Bureau (TMMB) was the premiere sponsor of the event.
 
Second place and a check for $2,000 from TMMB, went to Bruce Mitchell, of Chestertown, Indiana. Mr. Mitchell is a veteran driver of more than 16 years and drives for Ozinga Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. Bruce is the reigning Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association Truck Rodeo Champion.
 
Third place and a check for $1,000 from TMMB, went to Greg Browne of Olympia, Washington. Mr. Browne has been driving for Miles Sand and Gravel Company for 9 years. Mr. Browne is the 2-time and reigning Miles Sand and Gravel, Washington State Rodeo Champion.
 
The forth place finisher, receiving a TMMB check for $600, is Michael Trierweiler of Santa Rosa, California. Mr. Trierweiler has been driving for CEMEX for the last 6 years. Michael is the reigning 2019 CEMEX Bay Area Safety Rodeo Champion.

​The fifth-place finisher, receiving a check for $400 from TMMB is Ronald Lengyen from Silvi Construction Products, who lives in Columbus, New Jersey. Ronald is a veteran driver of more than 34 years. He is a Certified NRMCA Concrete Delivery Professional.

At the “Inspection Station”, the top scorers were; Victor Garcia from Maschmeyer Concrete, Orlando, Florida and John Marzalik from VCNA Prairie, Algonquin, Illinois.
