“Now think about that, on all of New York City only three concrete companies to deal with.”

That was back then.

Now there are only two concrete companies according to the owner of one of them who called in to Savage last week.

Interesting side note, he said there is only 90 minutes allowed from the time the truck leaves the yard until the concrete has to be unloaded at the job site, or the government inspectors reject it. He said 20% of the trucks are rejected because of this time limit.

Hmmm...and I guess it would be rather easy to delay a competitor's truck, if that competitor isn't connected. Just "stall" some old car that "happens" to be in front of the truck.

That is even more amazing, now there are only two.

My Father was in the construction business and I do think there may be a time limit on concrete. Although that concrete is being rotated as it moved to the site.

I remember that Dad would only order the concrete when were ready to pour and not before.
