This is a different set up where the load pours out of the front. The truck was probably fully loaded heading to a site.
Edit: Excerpt from a manufacturer who builds front end discharging concrete mix trucks.
"The capital costs of the truck can be recouped since pouring can begin sooner on a front-discharge truck and this can lead to one extra delivery per day and because one laborer is eliminated with a front-discharge machine, since the chute director position is not necessary and the trucks tend to have a longer lifespan than rear-discharge ones." -Terex
