Most ready mix companies will be able to put in a shrinkage reducing admixture (ours is called Eclipse), instead of the special cement. Just make sure they have the air friendly version, some of those really mess with the air. You can have the exact same load and one will be fine, and for no reason the next load tests at 12% air entrainment. Even our chemical reps had a hard time figuring that one out.

And we WILL put color in, the drivers don't really like to because of the extra work involved (all pays the same, I say). I just b***h when I have to put lamp black in (powder color), because it gets everywhere.

As for my engineer,I have total faith in him,the company I work for is one of the largest in Ohio we specialise in heavy industry,we are exclusive to the world's #1 steel maker.
I am not posting any names but with a little searching it isn't to hard to figure out who I'm talking about.
