Try owning a fleet of 50+ trucks trying to make deliveries of a perishable product (ready mix concrete) in NYC. I always said making any type of concrete needed for any project was the easy part. The logistics of getting the concrete there was a different story.

I actually lost a very large 25,000 cubic yard high rise project in midtown Manhattan because we were doing a large poor and couldn't get the concrete to the site because someone committed suicide outside the Battery Tunnel and it was closed for 3 hours
