Abstract: A control system for a front discharge concrete truck including a joystick positioned within a cab of the truck. In one embodiment, the joystick to connect to both a secondary shift selector and a chute controller. The secondary shift selector is connected to the truck's transmission. By actuating the secondary shift selector, the operator of the truck is capable of placing the truck's transmission in one of a forward condition, a reverse condition, and a neutral condition, without removing the driver's hand from the joystick. Similarly, the chute controller is connected to a discharge chute of the truck to direct the placement of concrete being offloaded from the truck. Thus, substantially concurrently with placing the transmission into one of a forward condition, a reverse condition and a neutral condition, the operator may actuate the joystick to correspondingly actuate the position of the discharge chute via the chute controller.
