Short-Load Concrete · Placer County
Traditional ready-mix plants penalize small orders: minimum loads, short-load fees, and a race against the clock from the plant to your site. A volumetric mixer carries raw materials and batches exactly what you need at your curb — whether that is one yard for a fence line or four for a patio.
Because the meter measures as it pours, odd quantities are no problem. Need 2.6 yards? You get 2.6 yards, and that is what you pay for.
From Colfax, our yard is roughly a 48-mile run, close enough for reliable windows and call-ahead timing your finisher can actually plan around. First concrete order? Two tools make it easy: the yardage calculator for a working estimate, and a phone call with dispatch to sanity-check quantity, access, and timing.
Colfax is a Placer County community of roughly 1,995 residents, about 48 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 84–104 minutes for a mixer to reach, traffic willing.

Volumetric mixing is built for small quantities — call dispatch with your yardage and we will confirm scheduling. You pay for the concrete that goes in your forms, not a plant's minimum truckload.
Barrel plants amortize a full truck trip over a small load, so they add short-load fees. On-site batching avoids the wasted material — the truck only mixes what you take.
No minimum-truckload games — volumetric mixing means we batch on site and you pay for the yardage actually poured. Small Colfax pours are welcome; see our short-load page.
