I suggest you calc the cubic footage and yards yourself and get a quote from a concrete supplier as relates to the total yardage, number of trucks and your location. Diving time figures in with the plant quote. Will you need a pump?
Pouring the concrete is the least of the job. The real work is finishing the concrete. So you want the concrete wet enoough to allow time to finish. You want the 2nd truck to arrive at the right time. Your crew needs enough people to handle the task and the tools and experience to complete.
I am not trying to be alarmist but I had seen some really unhappy results with folks trying to save every possible nickel. There is little as unforgiving as concrete.

Assume the best and ask questions.
