Logistics Before the First Truck Arrives Large commercial concrete projects rarely begin with concrete. They begin with spreadsheets, scheduling calls, equipment checks, and a calendar that looks like it was attacked with a highlighter. Warehouses, parking areas, and multifamily developments depend on enormous flatwork pours, and those pours operate on a timeline that leaves very

Someone once decided the commute was merely a logistical problem. Get from one place to another as quickly as possible, preferably with minimal conversation and a tolerable playlist.
