We echo the NRMCA in thanking our ready mix drivers, "We all know that our industry and literally the entire construction sector would come to a sudden stop if not for the work ethic and dedication of professional mixer truck drivers. For that, we offer a heartfelt thank you for all you do for our industry, and the ready mixed concrete companies within."
