What is "One Yard" of Concrete?

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers different areas depending on thickness. A fully loaded 10-yard truck can pour:

4" Thick
810 Square Feet (Typical Driveway)
6" Thick
540 Square Feet (Patio / Garage)
12" Thick
270 Sq Ft (Footings/Walls)

⚠️ Weight Limits & "Short Loading"

The "10 Yard" Myth: Even though a drum holds 10-11 yards, local road weight limits often restrict trucks to carrying only 8 or 9 yards legally.

If you need exactly 10 yards, you might be forced to pay for two trucks of 5 yards each, or risk an overweight ticket (which the driver will likely refuse).

ALWAYS ask your supplier: "What is the max yards you can haul to my specific location?"

Common Questions

What is a "Short Load"?

Any order less than 6-7 yards. Suppliers usually charge a "Short Load Fee" of $75+ to cover the truck's operating cost.

How much time do I have to unload?

You typically get 5-7 minutes per yard for free. A full truck of 10 yards gives you roughly 60 minutes. After that, you pay "demurrage" (waiting time) fees.

Need Small Batches?

Don't pay short load fees for small jobs. Use a portable mixer for projects under 2 yards.
