It is estimated that concrete producers sold 393 million yards of concrete in the U.S. in 1998*.
Infrastructure improvements (highways) have allowed larger and heavier vehicles, ready mix trucks have followed the trend. Front discharge trucks have 10-14 yard capacities and rear discharge trucks 9-12 yard capacities.
Residential housing construction, commercial building construction, highway construction and repairs consume millions of yards of ready mix concrete annually.
Ready Mix producers can typically deliver all the concrete they can produce.
The US economy continues to grow each year and new uses for concrete such as concrete homes further add to the demand for ready mix concrete.
