  Hmmm.

  Why did you leave out the third option. Don't you have pumpers in your
area?
  60' is literally nothing for a competent concrete pumper.

  Hello,
  We have a pole-mount job coming up and I would appreciate some advice
  about pouring concrete.  We have done pole mount systems before and on
  those jobs the site was accessible
  directly with a concrete truck.  No problem.

  On our upcoming job, however, the homeowner does not want us to drive
  the truck across his lawn
  and I agree.  The risk of damage it too great.  We have to pour a total
  of around 6 yds. for the footings.
  I see two options and I don't know which is the better choice:
      1. Use a truck to deliver the concrete and use cheap labor to
  wheelbarrow it from the driveway to the footing holes.
         It's a distance of about 60'.  We will have to pay extra charges
  for the concrete truck since he has to wait around
         for all the wheelbarrowing to get done.
      2. Rent a small mixer and mix it ourselves right on site.  I know
  with the ready mix that means around 240 bags at
          80 lbs each!

  I would appreciate any help form those with experience dealing with
  these types of issues.

  Thanks,
  Joe Felker
