Tell the coke sales person that you want your product delivered shrink wrapped on a pallet. When the delivery guy gets there he can lower the Tommy-Gate and drive it right up to the door with an electric pallet jack.
x2 on the shrinkwrap and pallet jack. I sure wish we were getting 85-90/yard in Houston. 3000 psi is going for about 65-70 over here and I honestly think 3000 is all you need. Any more and it is over kill. They use 3000 on almost every street over here. I would definitely use either the fiber mesh or some type of wire. The fiber mesh is a $6 adder over here and it comes out real close to a wash on cost compared to wire. Just regular vehicles, 3 1/2" is enough. If you go back to semi's, 6" would be required. Typcially, for regular flatwork (3 1/2") you can take your total sf and divide by 81 in a perfect world for your yards needed, but I would use 75 is the number to divide to make sure you have enough. Or use 81, but round up.
