    I honestly don't know. Maybe this would help you? It's a list from the Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association.
    At least you'll have some phone numbers to start calling. Sorry I couldn't help more.

    if you want to haul cement local, Sunset is prob your best bet. Been leased with them over a year now.

    Do NOTTTTT !!!! Go to 1845 ...
    Sunset would be a good start. Decent rates and work is a bit more consistent.
    Good luck!

    Well we are pretty well sitting still with everything under water right now. My average weekly settlements are about $2500, that's after %20 lease %10 trailer and fuel.

    So, your generally putting abt 4000 to 4500 gross.
    Are you running hard, or us that fairly easy to do?

    Home every night. I dont think it's very hard the biggest aggravation for me is getting stuck in line waiting to get loaded for a couple hours, then doing a 40-60 mile load and waiting another hour and a half to two hours to unload. That's not every day but it is annoying when it falls like that.
    Running pretty hard I've grossed over 6k in a week but it doesn't happen very often.
