5 yds is the minimum buy from a mixer? Holy cow...here I can get 1 yard
delivered if I want (for the cost of one yard), they schedule you for the
end of the day when the mixer's going to go back almost empty after other
jobs. And, of course you risk possibly not getting it the day you want,
because at the end of the day the mixer may well be completely empty, and
not have the yard. But they're obliging, and will try to get it to
you....-WB2WIK/6
