Common questions
The things people ask about concrete pickup, in case one of them is yours.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum order is ¼ yard.
How much can I tow in one mixer?
A mixer you tow holds up to 1¼ yards. We have to approve your tow vehicle first.
What do I need to tow a mixer?
A hitch with a 2 5/16-inch ball, and half-ton towing capacity or better. We check both at the yard before we load the mixer.
Do you charge a short-load fee?
No. A small load is already built into the package price, so there is nothing extra on top.
What strength should I order?
We offer 3,500 PSI, 4,000 PSI and 5,000 PSI. We can give general guidance. If your job has an engineered or permitted mix spec, you must provide it.
Can I get concrete today?
Sometimes. Next-day service is often available. Ask by 2 pm for tomorrow. Every order has to be confirmed before it is scheduled.
Do you work Saturdays?
Yes, by appointment. Saturday work may carry an additional charge.
