Shaping America’s Infrastructure

“Providing opportunities for students who will shape America’s infrastructure is essential, and CIM excels in this through its programs,” said Clayton White, president and CEO of Alliance Concrete Pumps. “We’re proud that this truck sale significantly contributed to CIM, helping support both its education programs and its students.”

The funds raised will directly benefit the CIM program, which offers scholarships to students pursuing four-year Bachelor of Science degrees in Concrete Industry Management. This initiative supports future professionals at institutions like Middle Tennessee State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Texas State University, California State University – Chico, and South Dakota State University.

We give a special thanks to Esh’s Masonry for purchasing this truck, which helped generate a significant donation to CIM.”

Built for Excellence

The Kenworth T880 is a powerhouse in the industry, boasting the PACCAR MX-13 engine and mounted with an Alliance Concrete Pumps 38M concrete pump. Additional contributions from key suppliers like Alcoa Wheels, Allison Transmission, and Cummins Driveline and Braking Systems (CDBS) enhanced the truck’s superior performance and reliability.
