Avoid Costly Mistakes with Your Concrete Order

When it comes to ordering concrete, precision matters. Ordering too little concrete can lead to unexpected expenses and delays in your project. It's essential to understand that coming up short on your concrete order can result in a cascade of additional costs, including fuel charges, environmental impact fees, short load fees and the cost of paying your crew to stay and wait for us to deliver the additional unscheduled load. We want to ensure that you make informed decisions to save both your budget and the environment. Every company charges these fees. Often other companies don’t quote these fees, they wait until the end of the job and surprise you. Our knowledgeable staff is available to help. Call 916-952-7263 to discuss your order.

The True Cost of Underordering Concrete

Fuel Charges

  • Ordering insufficient concrete often means that another truck will need to be dispatched to complete your project.

  • Additional trucks mean more fuel consumption, which not only increases costs but also contributes to environmental pollution.

  • Avoid the unnecessary fuel charges by accurately estimating your concrete needs.

Environmental Impact Fees

  • Every additional truck dispatched for a short supply of concrete has an environmental impact.

  • There are fees associated with offsetting this impact, which can add up quickly.

  • By ordering the right amount of concrete, you help reduce your project's environmental footprint and avoid these fees.

Short Load Fees

  • Short load fees are incurred when a concrete delivery falls below a minimum volume.

  • These fees are imposed to cover the fixed costs associated with each delivery.

  • Accurate estimation of your concrete requirements can save you from these unnecessary expenses.
