David, LOL!! That they are!
One thing to keep an eye on is the time when you get a delivery. Make sure you have someone who will get the driver's sheet right away or write down time arrival with shutes on, ready to pour. And mark time, when driver pulls shutes away, and last drop is poured right on delivery ticket that you sign - not after clean-up and driver drank a soda. Con-Ag/Yamada is IMHO being "generous" with their calculations - and you are charged for over time. So keep a close eye on it. (they are allowing 5 min/yard for pour and charging like $5 per minute overtime - or something like that).
If it is multiple trucks they dont seem to be averaging it - so if one truck finished in less time than 5 min x # of yards, it isn't an overall total. And if they are late on delivery, doesn't matter to them - I am not saying a few minutes - but a hour or more.
And although I defended Yamada when Kelly was running things over at the batch plant... no longer do for the new relative running it.
