Deliver each load at the job site accompanied by a ticket showing mix design number, volume of concrete, the weight of cement in pounds, total weight of each ingredient in pounds, time at which the materials were batched and the reading of the revolution counter at the time the truck mixer was charged. 4. Air entrainment should be included in the concrete mix.
