If I remember right we use to figure a empty concrete truck was 25,000 lb. add 35,000 lb. for concrete. Also, concrete truck drivers are really bad about washing out their trucks on the build site so they will not have to chip out concrete when they get back to the yard, if they get stuck in traffic and the remainder hardens in their truck. I usually write in the contractor that the contractor provides a container for waste wash out. ( a M1 Bradley battle tank weighs 68,000 lbs. and it will bust a 6" concrete slab.)

I understand that some concrete co's have some much smaller trucks that carry 4 yards or less. Their purpose is situations like yours, they don't rut up the lawn or destroy the driveway quite as bad as their big bro's. I've never seen one though, maybe your area has them.

of the warning labels on tools can be traced back to things I've done...Comment
