Typically what comes in on the truck is already "workable". There is a tool call a concrete "vibrator" that will settle the aggregates, work out the air and bring up the slurry while greatly leveling the surface to simplify screeding, etc. Without use of a concrete vibrator, the concrete will not attain itsmaximum intended strength.
If water is applied atop the surface after the pour, initial screed and float passes that will not effect the strength of the mix. In fact water should be applied to the surface for the first three to seven days to keep the overall hydration within the slab during the cure.
