Short-Load Concrete · Yolo 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.
Every Yolo County pour gets the same drill: dispatch confirms mix and access the day before, the rig stages on arrival, and batching starts when your crew says go — not when a plant printed a ticket. 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.
Dunnigan is a Yolo County community of roughly 1,416 residents, about 32 miles from our West Sacramento yard — typically 53–73 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.

A few days' notice books most residential pours; larger or inspected work benefits from more lead time. Same-day dispatch is sometimes possible — it never hurts to call.
Tell us what you're pouring and when. We'll bring the mix to your site and meter it by the yard — so every dollar you spend ends up in the forms.
