The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is an executive agency and directly reports to Governor Ron DeSantis. FDOT’s continuing mission is to provide a safe statewide transportation system that promotes the efficient movement of people and goods, supports the state’s economic competitiveness, prioritizes Florida’s environment and natural resources, and preserves the quality of life and connectedness of the state’s communities.

The unique nature of the Sunshine State and its year-round warm climate provides numerous opportunities to move people and goods through multiple modes including highways/streets, air, rail, sea, spaceports, transit, and ever-expanding deployment of bicycle & pedestrian facilities.
The department is committed to building a transportation system that not only fits the current needs of Florida’s residents and visitors but also enhances mobility throughout the state to accommodate its consistent and rapid growth. FDOT is proud to recruit and retain some of the best and brightest professionals in the transportation industry who consistently help the department inspire innovation and improve safety for all of our transportation modes.
The C12 Framework for Building Great Business for a Greater Purpose.
Each day, business leaders face challenges, opportunities, and decisions with significant downstream impact. This considerable responsibility may cause them to feel lonely at the top. The weight can be immense, but so is the reward—particularly in pursuit of honoring God by how they run their companies. Eliminating the daylight between our14 faith and work requires diligence.
For three decades, C12’s singular focus has been to create a framework that compels and equips Christian business leaders to achieve excellence through the power of peers.
The Volumetric Mixer Manufacturers Bureau (VMMB) has five charter members, which manufacture continuous volumetric mixers or concrete mobiles, mobile mixers, shake and bake trucks, and the like. Contractors and concrete producers operate these volumetric mixers, and many of these concrete trucks go to government agencies and foreign buyers to produce specialty concrete.
The ingredients for a batch of concrete are loaded into individual compartments on the mobile mixer and driven to the job site. Upon arrival, the concrete is mixed and immediately placed.
VMMB began in November of 1999, with the assistance of the National Ready Concrete Association (NRMCA). The three main purposes of VMMB are: to remain in conjunction with ASTM and ACI standards, to promote the use of the equipment through education and awareness, and to improve the professionalism of the manufacturers and operators of mobile mixers.
