I finally saved a pour at 6am after the mixer showed up 40 minutes late
Was on a 30 yard driveway job in Boise last Tuesday. Mixer rolled in late and the first truck was already setting up faster than I liked. Told the driver to add a little water and got two guys on the screed right away while I worked the edges. Finished the whole slab before the sun got high, and it came out flat. Anyone else got a trick for buying time when the trucks bunch up on you?

Did you have a water source on site or did you have to wait on the driver for that too? I used to think adding water was always a bad move and would just wreck the mix. But a guy on a hot job showed me that a small splash to keep things workable beats a cold joint every time, long as you don't go overboard. Sounds like you already had your guys staged and ready, which is really the whole game. Getting the screed moving right when the truck shows is what saves you, not the water.
