There are many costs involved with running a concrete business, including vehicle maintenance, payroll, materials, and fuel. When it comes to fuel, you must think about the amount you will need for every job and if you will need any on hand for emergencies. Here are some tips that can help you manage your fuel and increase efficiency.<\/p>\n

Know what your fuel needs are<\/h2>\n

The first step in managing your fuel needs is to know exactly how much you use. The easiest way to measure usage is to record miles per gallon, but this isn\u2019t always possible in the concrete industry. Mixing vehicles idle when they are working, so you can\u2019t measure in MPG.<\/p>\n

You could measure your fuel based on productivity by seeing how much concrete can be made on one tank. Comparing the amount produced to the amount used can provide an accurate measurement. You could also store fuel at your main location and monitor how much is used for each vehicle.<\/p>\n

There are a few things to keep in mind when reviewing fuel usage.<\/p>\n
