A crane operator in Baltimore made me rethink our whole morning schedule
I was chatting with a crane operator named Dale at a job site in Baltimore last Tuesday, and he asked why we always schedule our concrete pours for 7am. He said the trucks sit in rush hour traffic on I-95 and end up bunched together, so we get 4 trucks at once and then nothing for an hour. We moved the pour to 9:30 the next day and the trucks spaced out perfectly, saved us maybe 3 hours of standing around. Has anyone else changed their pour times based on traffic instead of just doing it first thing?

Starting earlier still beats sitting in traffic, just stagger the trucks instead.
