Makes very good sense. I was in kind of the same boat but with 12 yards I had it pumped. The pumper was ~$500 but it could have been ~$350 had I wanted to use a smaller rock.

When I extended my back porch to build my shop, I used the Speed-E-Crete Mixer and did it with 1.5 yards on the first trip (full), and 1 yard on the second trip. I have a 6 speed diesel and boooooy was the mixer heavier that I thought.. make sure you have a tough enough truck to pull it and to stop it. I heard that a full mixer (1.5 yds) was like 8,000 lbs or something close to that. But all in all it was pretty easy to use and was a lot cheaper than paying for a full size cement truck for the amount that I needed. however I only poured about 15'x16' at approx 4" deep with 10" shovel footings around the edges, for the amount that you want to pour it will be a lot of trips.

I always try and use something. I used to use #3 bar, which is illegal now, so that's why I had free access to it. Now I just use the mesh because it's cheaper. It won't make it any stronger, but when it cracks (and it will crack) at least it should minimize the moving.

Oh, and if you need to buy or rent any tools, don't! ;)

Thanks,

Interesting, in all my years of pouring I have never used rebar or mesh. This pad is for the fifthwheel.

No, never mind. I was briefly considering calling them, but a. I'm in @%$%!#@$ Tooele, and b. there is a lot of prep work the concrete company is doing instead of me.

That's a pretty sweet deal though.

R&S or something, anyway the gravel pit by my house in Stansbury (think SR 36 and Village Blvd) has the towable mixers too Tacoma.
