*asskisser will tell you it's nighttime in the middle of the day. He's the
biggest waste of time I've *ever* come across. He's an idiot. Just friggin'
unbelievable.

Are you REALLY saying
that a yard of concrete weighs better than 2 tons? Care to have me cut
and paste some design mixes for you?

Quoted from the website Reggie gave us.

"Q. How much does a yard of concrete weigh?"

"A. Approximately 4000 lbs. per cubic yard."

From other websites:

"Size & Weight
The mixer empty weight is 2,900 lbs. It is 15' 6" long depending on
hitch size, 7' 5" wide including guards and 8' 4" high in load
configuration. The mixer holds 2.75 yards stationary and 2.0 yards on
the road. A yard weighs approximately 4,200 lbs. so road weight is
approximately 11,500 lbs loaded."

How much does a concrete truck weigh?
If a truck is carrying 10 cubic yards, then the weight of the concrete
is approximately 40,000 lb. The truck will weigh approximately 26,000
lb. for a total of 66,000 lb.

"The Revolution composite drum by Dodge Center, Minn.-based McNeilus
Truck & Mfg. is 2000 pounds lighter than traditional steel drums. This
means a ready-mix truck can carry an extra one-half cubic yard of
concrete per load. Then, after the concrete is poured, the lighter
weight results in annual fuel savings of $400 to $700 per truck, says
McNeilus."

Maybe you *should* post links to verifiable sites backing up your
assertion that shows concrete to be 3000lbs per yard. It seems no one
else agrees with you.
