When trying to figure the cost per yard of concrete, there are a few things to figure in. First, different companies can charge different rates for their trucks. If the truck has to sit on site for longer than what they consider normal for your load, you will incur more charges. Also, the delivery charge will be the same whether you buy 1 or 5 yards of concrete, so if you buy 1 yard, the cost
. per yard will be higher because the delivery fee will be charged to only 1 yard. Your best bet is to call your local concrete companies for their prices, but be sure to ask about the delivery charges and also ask for a total with all taxes and fees.
