Concrete Delivery

What information do I need to provide when placing orders?

  • All orders are to be taken by the Customer Service Scheduler.
  • Please provide Company Name, Job Name and/or Number, Contact Person and Phone Number, Concrete Application (i.e. footing, slab-on-grade, suspended slab, block hole), and Estimated Time for Discharging Concrete.
  • In addition, we request that you provide an accurate delivery address and driving instructions. The use of street names and numbers is highly recommended.
  • In order to guarantee on-time deliveries, we MUST know the maximum quantity that will be used on a particular placement; we recommend a “hold” quantity is to set measure the final load(s).
  • Special admixtures/materials to be added at the job site or at the plant should be addressed with Dispatch at the time of order placement.
  • After taking the order, the Dispatcher will repeat the order for confirmation.
  • National Concrete encourages customers to place their orders by 3:00 p.m. the day prior to desired delivery. Orders taken after 3:00 p.m. will be scheduled after 9:00 a.m. the following day. Place orders as far in advance as possible to avoid over cooking and delays.

Do i get charged extra for excessive unloading time?
