4 and 8 hr min in the A.M and then 3 Hr min for the p.m work. Noon to 6.Pm. but our first job usually start around midnight for our long booms.  Its slow here in the sunshine state also.  Give it another couple weeks it is really going to get in high gear!!!

Generally speaking we have no minimum. If it's a very small job that's not close to the shop, we will charge a minimum.

 I guess you could say we have no official minimum, but we're not lookin' to lose our a$$ on a 8 yard patio an hour and a half away from the shop either.

I forgot to say that we also charge travel time,shop to job,job to shop. So if we have to travel a ways to a small job at least were getting 85.00hr. for that.

Does anyone ever charge $4.00 a yard on 300+ yard pours if they can do 80 yards an hour?? I saw that on a companys price sheet and didnt know if it was common
