Either risk driving/parking on the sidewalk or a lot of loads in a wheelbarrow!

Teetor IS right. I guarantee it. Don't try it, it won't work.craigNeasttx said:Yep, bet your right.
You're a wise man. The load bearing capacity of the soil is more likely to be the governing factor in most cases. The sidewalk itself will usually take the weight of the truck if it has solid backing. Most of the time, it doesn't work, but I have no way to know what the soil is like on your site. You could do some experiments with your pick-up to try to get an idea, but 4 yards of concrete weighs over 16,000 lbs, plus the weight of the truck.PipeGuy said:...I've seen it work when the ground beneath is firm enough...
Hi Niner. Glad to see a ready-mix supplier here. Do you work in the technical / sales side of the business or the operational side - maybe both? From time to time we get a thread that could use some design mix expertise. Hope to see you around more.Niner said:As a concrete supplier, I wish I had a dollar for how many times I've seen and responded to broken sidewalk claims.
Thank you very much. I hope that you don't mind us taking advantage of your generosity.Niner said:...I'll be glad to throw my two cents in as the need arises...
