THE SHIPPING BOARD TOLD THE STORY THIS WEEK
Jefferson Concrete Corp. had major bridge and culvert shipments scheduled on four days across four New York counties. Meanwhile, our own boom-truck drivers were busy throughout the week handling everything else.
Monday, August 17 - Twelve top sections traveled approximately 134 miles to the Bostwick Road clamshell culvert project in the Town of Enfield, Tompkins County.
Wednesday, August 19 - Eight 50-foot prestressed hollow-slab beams traveled approximately 145 miles to County Road 32 in the Town of Oxford, Chenango County.
Thursday, August 20 - Seven 28-foot prestressed hollow-slab beams made the week’s longest trip, approximately 293 miles, to French Creek Road in the Town of Sherman, Chautauqua County.
Friday, August 21 - Eleven 18-foot by 5-foot culvert sections and four wingwalls traveled approximately 33 miles to the Haldane Memorial Project in the Village of Pulaski, Oswego County.
THE WEEK BY THE NUMBERS
• Four projects
• Four counties
• 38 bridge and culvert units, plus four wingwalls
• Approximately 1,620,605 pounds of precast concrete
• More than 810 tons
• Approximately 5,200 loaded heavy-haul miles for the 38 main units alone
Those numbers cover only the bridge and culvert shipments.
While the heavy-haul trucks were moving those major components across New York, our own boom-truck drivers were also handling a full schedule of additional precast deliveries throughout the week. Their loads, tonnage, and miles are not included in the totals above.
The large bridge and culvert loads may produce the biggest photographs, but our boom-truck drivers are the backbone of Jefferson Concrete’s daily delivery operation. Their hard work, flexibility, and dependability keep products moving to customers and job sites every day.
Thank you to our boom-truck drivers, independent heavy-haul partners, loading crews, shipping team, and everyone involved in coordinating this demanding week.
Big loads draw attention. Consistent delivery keeps the work moving. This week, our team handled both.
After a week like that, you might expect the shipping board to slow down.
Next week’s schedule took one look at these numbers and said, “Hold my beer.”
