2014 NRMCA Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey
Introduction
The National Ready Mixed
Concrete Association (NRMCA)
Fleet Benchmarking and Costs
Survey was established to provide
concrete
producers
with
information to evaluate and
benchmark ready mixed concrete
fleet maintenance and utilization.
The survey was developed and
responses analyzed by the
NRMCA Operations, Environmental and Safety (OES) Committee. For the ready mixed concrete industry,
those involved in the day to day management of a fleet of mixer trucks are confronted with an ever
changing array of business environments and thus a never ending array of decisions. The competitive nature
of the business and long construction seasons makes operating a fleet of mixer trucks very demanding.
What used to be a nine month business in most northern climates has become a 12-month a year
construction season. In the most recent years, the industry has witnessed a downturn in ready mixed
concrete production the likes of which have not been seen since the great depression and at the same time a
dramatic shift in management to one that includes expectations with no tolerance for unsatisfactory
performance, forcing ready mixed concrete fleet managers to reevaluate their fleet, park trucks, sell trucks,
reduce the work force and yet still maintain exceedingly high levels of reliability and cost efficiency day in
and day out. Most, if not all, successful ready mixed concrete producers have always measured themselves
in one way or another, relying primarily on financial accounting principles.
Fleet operating statistics are measured to quantify current performance and to plan and budget for future
improvements, whether its downsizing to meet current demand levels or buying to meet current and future
challenges. The real challenge is to know what to measure, when to measure and to know what constitutes
good performance. Benchmarking allows the fleet manager, accountant or ready mixed concrete
executive to identify and compare cost and other performance factors with industry averages as
obtained from this survey. Once the fleets management strategies and performance have been
successfully benchmarked, the fleet manager has a tool to identify the unsatisfactory as well as the
excellent performance areas of their fleet.
Benchmarking fleet statistics allows the ready mixed concrete industry to identify the areas that require
change and facilitates continuous improvement of fleet operations. Lacking a complete understanding of the
fleets cost components and a strategy for adequate fleet replacement schedules is a significant issue in fleet
management. Therefore the goal of this survey is to provide a useful tool for ready mixed concrete
producers to better manage their fleet operations and to consistently improve on fleet performance.
Confidentiality
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association keeps all individual company and or divisional data
submitted for the survey strictly confidential. After verification of all data entry and calculations, the
Association destroys and or deletes the entry forms and all tabulation records that specifically
attribute data to a producer, division and/or plant. This policy was established to help elevate the level
of participation and enhance the statistics through a strong sampling of the industry. NRMCA treats
confidentiality with the highest priority and under no circumstances will release any company results.
2014 Fleet Benchmarking Survey

The 2014 Fleet Benchmarking Survey form was sent to NRMCA member companys fleet managers,
financial officers and primary contacts in January 2014 through the NRMCA e-news weekly and was also
posted on NRMCAs website, www.nrmca.org. An electronic format file of the survey form was distributed
via email to the NRMCA membership as well. A target email campaign was also initiated where as all past
survey applicants, the OES committee members and selected NRMCA database individuals were also sent
electronic copies of the survey form to further participation from NRMCA members. The deadline for all
survey responses was April 1, 2014 (extended until May 1). The survey (attached in the appendix of this
report) consisted of 69 fill-in-the-blank type questions. The form for 2014 was reviewed by the OES
committee and Operations
Task Group and approved
for distribution. The survey
response represents data for
calendar year 2013. The
fleet
managers
and
financial officers were
instructed
to
submit
information to the extent
available, if all questions
could not be answered. The
69 survey questions were
placed in the following 10
sections:
Region
Mixer Fleet
Chassis Configuration
Fleet Performance
Fuel Consumption
Mixer Maintenance
Tire Information
Preventive Maintenance
Front-End-Loaders
Benchmarking
Survey Responses
Now in its fifteenth year, the annual survey is limited to NRMCA member companies only. NRMCA
received submissions from 90 companies or divisions. The usefulness of these fleet performance statistics
are enhanced by the level of participation in the survey. Some items were not responded to by all
participants. The percentage response is reported in each of the following sections and it is suggested by the
authors that a response less than about 30% may not be statistically significant. Results of the survey are
compiled nationally. Responses came from eight geographical regions which are mapped in the appendix of
this report.

Mixer Fleets
A total of 15,613 concrete mixer trucks are represented
in the 2014 survey. In 2013 the survey represented just
fewer than 11,000 mixer trucks. Using yards delivered
per truck annually, 4,610 (median from survey question
#63) and the estimated total US ready mixed concrete
produced from the NRMCA website (approx.
301,000,000), one can estimate the number of ready
mixed concrete trucks currently operating in the United
States to be approximately 65,292. This is compared to
an estimated 80,000 just a few years ago. On a national
basis the severe recession in the ready mixed concrete
industry started in the middle part of 2006 and the rate
of decline in production peaked between the third and
fourth quarters of 2009. Along with the reduction in production, most companies have retired older mixers,
sold off some of their fleet, and have parked and removed tags on other trucks.
Based on data submitted, the average number of mixer trucks per company/division (represented by this
survey) is 173 (up about 8% from the 2013 report). This number continues to change every year due to
consolidation, mergers, recession and demographics of those who participate in this survey. The median
number (which may be more typical) for mixer trucks in a fleet is 99. This means that about half of the
companies who responded to the survey have 99 mixer trucks or less and the other half reported more than
99 mixer trucks.
The average age of a fleet by company and average age of the individual trucks was higher as compared to
last year. The average fleet age for the 90 companies/divisions who responded to this question was 9.7
years, while the average age of individual trucks was calculated to be 8.7 years as compared to 8.0 last year.
The average age of a fleet of 9.7 years is the highest in the surveys history and continues an upward trend
which started in 2007.
(Individual company number of trucks x fleet age / total number of trucks surveyed)
These numbers reflect industrys practice of retiring and selling off older vehicles while at the same time
not replacing those vehicles with newer units. According to the Truck Mixers Manufacturers Bureau,
sales of new mixer trucks were higher in 2013 than 2012 but still at very low levels when compared to just a
few years ago.
In terms of sheer numbers, rear discharge mixers still dominate the survey representing approximately 75%
of all mixers. Front discharge mixers make up the remaining 25% of the truck mixers. It is interesting to
note that 24% of all companies/divisions reporting do have mixed fleets with some front and some rear
discharge mixers. Considering previous trends with fleets that include at least one mixer truck with a
conveyor system attached, these data suggest that this frequency is about one in twelve companies.

Chassis Configurations
Over the last several decades many variations in axle configuration have been developed in response to
varying state weight laws. According to the 2014 Fleet Survey, three-axle and four-axle booster or pusher
configurations are most common. This accounts for about 68 percent of the operating mixer trucks. In order
to meet federal bridge weight restrictions and increase load carrying capacity, more ready mixed concrete
trucks are using four or more axles. In the four-axle category, tail axles out number pushers by about 2-to1. However, the data may be biased by the geographical distribution of responses and the pertinent state and
local weight restrictions.

Fleet Performance
The survey represents ready mixed concrete trucks that traveled more than 256 million miles. Thats equal
to more than 11,000 trips around the equator. The average annual mileage on a ready mixed concrete truck
was 16,435 miles last year. This statistic, which is up about 3% over last year, is still considerably lower
than the high number recorded in the last 10 years of 18,896 (2006 survey) and can be contributed to the
reduction in ready mixed concrete production on a national basis. Another interesting benchmarking data
point is miles per cubic yard. This is calculated by dividing average truck miles by average total cubic yards
delivered per truck. Nationally, that number this year is 3.44 miles/cubic yard. Miles per cubic yard can give
a company an idea of how well its operation is able to acquire jobs close to the production facility.
Naturally, large urban areas will have an advantage over more rural areas.
The average haul distance a mixer truck must travel will vary depending on location, type of construction,
and commitment to customers. The average one-way haul distance for the 82 companies that reported data
was 14.79 miles, which is one of the highest reported in the last 14 years.
For this survey the average load-size was 7.97 cubic yards and the average full load was 9.82 cubic yards.
Both figures are up slightly from last years survey. Important to a ready mixed concrete producer is the
load-size coefficient which can be calculated by dividing average load-size by typical full-load-size and
multiplying times 100 to convert to a percentage. In general, the higher the load size coefficient, the lower
the cost of trucking per cubic yard. Of the 65 companies reporting both numbers, the calculated average
load-size coefficient was 82%, with a high of 99% and a low of 70%.

Fuel Consumption
One of the major costs in operating a ready mixed
concrete fleet is fuel consumption. In the last few
years our industry has seen unprecedented price
swings for diesel and gasoline. Unfortunately, it
appears that by all accounts that trend will continue
for, at least, the near future. Fuel consumption
factors can be measured in many different ways.
Typical miles per gallon (mpg) is used as a
measure by many long haul trucking companies.
In the ready mixed concrete industry, although most
companies track mpg data, it does not provide a true picture of fuel usage considering that a mixer truck
spends varying amount of time at idle, mixing concrete or off-road travel. The price paid per gallon of fuel
can also be calculated from data reported by companies on the basis of both Gallon per Cubic Yard and
Fuel Costs per Cubic Yard:
Price per Gallon = Fuel Cost per yd3 / Gallons per yd3
In 2013, fuel costs for the ready mixed concrete industry remained at all time highs. The median fuel cost
according to this survey was $3.47 per gallon; an increase about the same as the average fuel cost of the
previous year. Fuel costs per cubic yard are up from $3.86 per yard in 2012 to $3.93 per yard in 2013, about
a 2% increase Important to this industry is the percentage of fuel usage for power-take-off (PTO) energy
use. This information, however, cannot be determined from the reported data. In 2006 NRMCA with
cooperation of its member companies conducted a national study on PTO fuel usage. The data and final
report was made available to the Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for consideration to rebate ready
mixed concrete producers for excise taxes paid on this portion of fuel use. The study estimated PTO fuel
use to be approximately 20 to 25% of total fuel consumption, while the IRS has calculated it to be 30.2%.

Fleet Maintenance Expenses

Maintenance costs associated with fleet operations
represent a major expense to the ready mixed concrete
producer. In past years, data reveal that cost of fleet
maintenance is directly related to the average age of the
fleet. In general, a younger fleet will have lower
maintenance costs. Although, with technology ever
advancing, new equipment and devices are being placed
on mixers, most require at least some additional
maintenance. The total maintenance cost is calculated by
the sum of cost of parts, outside repair services, shop
expenses, cost of tires, and cost for mobile
communication.

Tires
Tires are an essential factor in determining costs associated with ready mixed concrete fleets. Of the 89
companies who reported, 3% allow recaps on the steer axle tires. On the other hand, 86% of all reporting
companies allow the use of recaps on the drive or trailer axle tires. The maximum number of recaps allowed
on a casing ranged from one to six with an average of just over two.
The survey also provides an estimate of the cost to the producer for a breakdown due to a tire failure. After
removing outliers, this average cost was approximately $230 in 2013. Another interesting number derived
from the data is road-calls per truck per year. On average, a ready mixed concrete company makes
approximately 3.9 road calls related to tire failures per month for every 100 trucks in their fleet.

Preventive Maintenance
In order to maintain an efficient ready mixed concrete truck fleet all
producers recognize the need for Preventive Maintenance (PM). The
concept of PM is to carefully service and inspect each truck in the fleet
at regular intervals to minimize the number of breakdowns. A good PM
program predicts breakdown frequency and necessary repairs. This
allows servicing to be scheduled at optimum times before the
breakdown occurs. Typical PM drain intervals are calculated in terms
of hours of engine running time. Historically, manufacturers have
recommended PM drain services at a frequency of about 300 hrs. Our survey results reveal that about 82%
of producers base drain intervals on engine hours and surprisingly none base their drain intervals on oil
analysis.

Mixer Drums
Since 2006 the survey has included a section
concerning drum chipping operations. Historically,
drum chipping has been performed by drivers
during slow or off-peak times. In todays fastpaced industry, an increasing number of producers
have elected to contract drum chipping to outside
vendors. The survey allows us to estimate about
how many producers are using an outside service
for drum chipping. That number turns out to be
about 89% this year.
Also in this years survey are additional questions
which include costs of drum chipping. A good PM
program is necessary to ensure long mixer-drum
life. In this survey, the average service life of a
mixer-drum was determined to be 7.4 years, while
delivering just over than 40,000 yards of concrete. Both numbers are nearly the highest recorded by this
survey. The life of a drum is dependent on a number of factors including the hardness of the aggregate used
in concrete. An aggregate made of very hard granite might wear out a steel drum with only 15,000 yards of
concrete delivered, while, on the other hand, using a soft marine limestone might allow the same drum to
deliver about 70,000 cubic yards.

Front End Loaders

Essential to a ready mixed concrete production facility is its front-end loader fleet. This piece of equipment
is vital to both production rate and product quality. Keeping the loader in good working condition is
mandatory for a successful operation. This survey, representing more than 2,200 loaders from 90
companies/divisions, reveals the average age of a loader is 11.44 years. The data also shows that a
company, on average, operates 1 loader for every 6.8 truck mixers.

Benchmarking
Of utmost importance to a ready mixed concrete production facility is its ability to measure and monitor key
ratios used to quantify productivity. Parked trucks due to low driver availability can be very costly. Driver
availability rates are generally calculated daily for each plant and averaged on a monthly or yearly basis.
The ready mixed concrete industry measures fleet statistics to track the efficiency and effectiveness of
equipment PM and repair programs. Factors that affect the Fleet Availability ratios are PM programs,
average age of the fleet, parts availability, competency of mechanics and warranties. Fleet Utilization is
another key ratio that matches the number of available drivers with available trucks with a goal of 100%
utilization. This can be quite difficult in markets that experience driver shortages. Dispatch efficiency is
determined as the (driver hours worked driver standby hours)/driver hours worked.
The OES committee also asked producers for backing accidents and roll-over incidents. The data reveal
those who reported (87 companies) the rollover rate per 100 trucks is 0.5 and for those companies reporting
backing accident (75 companies) the rate is 6.1 backing accidents per 100 trucks. The benchmarking data in
this section are not included in Table 12, Trend Analysis, of this report.
