I guess that's what a desk job will do to you.

Looks like yall had it set up right with two pumps and a screed. It is getting real hard around houston to put that kind of yardage down anymore with the concrete demand the way it is.

The deal around us is the concrete plants not having enough drivers and trucks to keep up. Title: Re: 1000 cy pours on a ark. atwoods Post by: bob on April 09, 2013, 12:02:52 pm We don't have a problem getting mud at home because we use so much the concrete company does just about anything but on these pours we were paid to just finish. The concrete company shut them off at 6 am. No matter if they were poured out or not. They fell short the second night , they said it was to to drivers hrs and morning orders
Title: Re: 1000 cy pours on a ark. atwoods Post by: Peachcreek on April 09, 2013, 06:05:46 pm Yeah we r one of the top five companies in houston with the supplier we use. They cater to us all they can but it still gets hard to get mud when we need it. They always say they dont have hours. To me that just means they need more drivers :)
