Our price seemed to go up today to $105 (standard customer) a yard, I was just curious to see what the average is? For a singe yard we charge $265 between the concrete and the trucking charge. It's getting crazy!  |

um.. about $105 a yard aswell.. but if you order less than 5.5 yards you get hit with a small load charge.. and the guys at our Holcim job are paying about 170 a yard because we've been putting Ice in the load and they want xypex and all kinds of other stuff in it..

Today I delivered one yard and collected $305. That includes the Saturday delivery charge. A full load (10 yds) is about $1100. When I started driving for this company they were delivering one yard for $45!

joe smo would pay about $140 for a yd of 3000psi. if your a big construction company on a bid, maybe lock in at 85-90 a yard. but then we rack up the surcharges....... saturday before noon, saturday after noon (which is higher than saturday before noon), fuel surcharge (used to be only CODs but now on every ticket) minumum load charge if 5 yds or less. wash out charge if it is a color load, environmental fee (every ticket), 2nd finish up load (if your overdoing the call backs), cretevayor fee of $17 per yard across the belt, hot water charge, cold water charge, ice in the summer charge(generally 150 pounds per load), extra trip charge (rare but it is an attemp to get customers to to stop sitting on trucks for 5-6 hours of wheel barrow jobs so we wack them with extra delivery charges), standing time (you have 3 trucks sitting on site for a few hours because your forms arnt ready, can be an extra $80 a half hour so get them moving.), we even tried to charge for front discharge trucks if they had to lock in the front axle. but that one didnt last long as other companies didnt feature that fee. I have seen more than one 1yd load of grout to prime a pump on a small job (line pump at a driveway) go for over $400. unbelievable really. the grand daddy of fees? the "open plant" fee.....$2000. you want your concrete at an odd time and you are the only order, no one else pourin too, you get the open plant fee. there was once a small pour early in the morning. he was following a larger early pour as it was orriginally scheduled. murphys law, the other pour cancelled earlier in the week, making the small job the first pour at an oddball time. it was a COD and I had the first load. contractor almost fell over dead when he saw the line item for opening the plant. first he tried to refuse to accept the load, but when informed that other trucks were on the way and he would still be billed for the shipped loads, he had to eat it.

lafargeslave those prices are crazy!! At my plant we just raised our price of 6bag to $92 a yard and thats Joe shmo price contractors get a little better. We do have fee's added in thought. no loads under 2 yards, 2-3 yards has a $45 short load fee, 3.25-4.75 yards has a $65 short load fee. All contractors that normally use us get only half the short load fee. We have a fuel surcharge but I don't think its high enough its like $5 a load. $8 a yard for heated water. Its $12 a yard across my conveyor with a $100 min. I could open my book and go into detail but thats it for now.

sure is. get this. if you show up at the plant with cash, we wont except it. too many times the money draw was raided the night a large COD was paid becuase the money was left in the office overnight becuase no one wanted to go to the bank on the way home.there was an analysis done and it was determined that the overall concrete market was too cheap in our city. So we figure we will raise our prices and the other companies will jump in too. nope, or major competitor lowered their price. of coarse they overbooked, and they couldnt hold up the service level and we got some of it back but we are way out of the residential market now.

Monday the fuel surcharge for every load out of the plant goes up to $95!
And, no more jobs under 3yds, and no more off hours plant openings unless it's a municipal or bid job. I got a feeling we'll either run the homeowner jobs away or we'll just stop taking them period, so what are we gonna do come next winter when nothing's going on?

It's getting crazy! that sounds about right for residential the $105/yd. With my company depending who you are I have seen it as high as $121/yd. I also have seen it as low as $87/yd. With us hard rock tends to be a lot cheaper than pea rock. |

Right now, we have an $8 fuel charge, and a 4 minute per yard limit on discharge. A ten yard load has 40 minutes from start to stop. Anything over that is $2 a minute. Try collecting a COD when you've been doing a chute pour at a job site for an hour and a half.  |

we also charge for cold water too since we use a chiller... we did a new substation for the local electric company a few months ago which required me to work overnight for a week which was fine.. these piers take along time to drill.. but this one night it took 18 hours to drill one pier so they had concrete scheduled for 8PM so they had us get there at 5PM and wait... concrete didnt go until 1:30 the next afternoon because of a bunch of problems.. I got 18 hours of overtime and didnt haul one load.. the customer had to pay $2000 to open the plant plus $200 an hour for everyd driver that was on the clock waiting.. They had to call in 5 guys on a sunday because we were all exhausted from being up all night and not being able to sleep...

... the customer had to pay $2000 to open the plant plus $200 an hour for everyd driver that was on the clock waiting.. Don't you love it when the company charges the customer out the a$$ for not doing a thing and the gives you maybe 10% of the take. I mean, shouldn't the drivers, batchmen and loader operators get the lionshare of these types of charges? I would rather not know what they are charging, because it just ticks me off knowing how much they make for doing nothing while I have to waste precious time from my life. |

It's even better when you show up to this sites with slurry sit on the job for 10-12 hours sleep fo 2-3 hours in your truck. go across the street and dine in while these poor bastards are slaving away b/c they are retarded and then come time to pour they get all rude and brash. Not my fault your company cant dig this holes like they are suppose to. |

I prefer those days when I'll work 12 hours, and get in 6 loads. Busy and time flies. That sitting around waiting crap sucks.

I hear ya, but its so slow now that I'll sit anywhere for how ever long I have to as long as I am on the clock. Its rough now boys and we all have to make that living to supprt our families. Once the economy picks up we wont have to do this scrapping for hours. |

When I started in mixers in 2000 for a tiny independent company we were getting $39 a yard for 3000psi.
I think my current employer is hovering around $91 for the same at the moment.
I really don't pay much attention to price.

about $135 per yard before fuel surcharges for a standard customer. We also sell many products for finishing concrete and such. Lots of different types of fibermesh.
