Report of: 2014 National Ready Mixed Concrete Association Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey July, 2014 Jeff Hinkle, Chandler Concrete NRMCA OES Committee Chairman David Williams, Chaney Enterprises NRMCA Operations Task Group Chairman Kevin Walgenbach, NRMCA Senior Director, Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Tim Kauzlick, CEMEX NRMCA OES Committee Vice Chairman Chris Cooper, CEMEX NRMCA Operations Task Group Vice-Chair Gary M. Mullings, NRMCA Senior VP, Operations and Compliance 2014 NRMCA Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey Introduction The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey was established to provide concrete producers with information to evaluate and benchmark ready mixed concrete fleet maintenance and utilization. The survey was developed and responses analyzed by the NRMCA Operations, Environmental and Safety (OES) Committee. For the ready mixed concrete industry, those involved in the day to day management of a fleet of mixer trucks are confronted with an ever changing array of business environments and thus a never ending array of decisions. The competitive nature of the business and long construction seasons makes operating a fleet of mixer trucks very demanding. What used to be a nine month business in most northern climates has become a 12-month a year construction season. In the most recent years, the industry has witnessed a downturn in ready mixed concrete production the likes of which have not been seen since the great depression and at the same time a dramatic shift in management to one that includes expectations with no tolerance for unsatisfactory performance, forcing ready mixed concrete fleet managers to reevaluate their fleet, park trucks, sell trucks, reduce the work force and yet still maintain exceedingly high levels of reliability and cost efficiency day in and day out. Most, if not all, successful ready mixed concrete producers have always measured themselves in one way or another, relying primarily on financial accounting principles. Fleet operating statistics are measured to quantify current performance and to plan and budget for future improvements, whether it’s downsizing to meet current demand levels or buying to meet current and future challenges. The real challenge is to know what to measure, when to measure and to know what constitutes good performance. Benchmarking allows the fleet manager, accountant or ready mixed concrete executive to identify and compare cost and other performance factors with industry averages as obtained from this survey. Once the fleet’s management strategies and performance have been successfully benchmarked, the fleet manager has a tool to identify the unsatisfactory as well as the excellent performance areas of their fleet. Benchmarking fleet statistics allows the ready mixed concrete industry to identify the areas that require change and facilitates continuous improvement of fleet operations. Lacking a complete understanding of the fleet’s cost components and a strategy for adequate fleet replacement schedules is a significant issue in fleet management. Therefore the goal of this survey is to provide a useful tool for ready mixed concrete producers to better manage their fleet operations and to consistently improve on fleet performance. 2 2014 NRMCA Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey Confidentiality The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association keeps all individual company and or divisional data submitted for the survey strictly confidential. After verification of all data entry and calculations, the Association destroys and or deletes the entry forms and all tabulation records that specifically attribute data to a producer, division and/or plant. This policy was established to help elevate the level of participation and enhance the statistics through a strong sampling of the industry. NRMCA treats confidentiality with the highest priority and under no circumstances will release any company results. 2014 Fleet Benchmarking Survey The 2014 Fleet Benchmarking Survey form was sent to NRMCA member company’s fleet managers, financial officers and primary contacts in January 2014 through the NRMCA e-news weekly and was also posted on NRMCA’s website, www.nrmca.org. An electronic format file of the survey form was distributed via email to the NRMCA membership as well. A target email campaign was also initiated where as all past survey applicants, the OES committee members and selected NRMCA database individuals were also sent electronic copies of the survey form to further participation from NRMCA members. The deadline for all survey responses was April 1, 2014 (extended until May 1). The survey (attached in the appendix of this report) consisted of 69 fill-in-the-blank type questions. The form for 2014 was reviewed by the OES committee and Operations Task Group and approved for distribution. The survey response represents data for calendar year 2013. The fleet managers and financial officers were instructed to submit information to the extent available, if all questions could not be answered. The 69 survey questions were placed in the following 10 sections: • • • • • • • • • • Region Mixer Fleet Chassis Configuration Fleet Performance Fuel Consumption 3 Mixer Maintenance Tire Information Preventive Maintenance Front-End-Loaders Benchmarking 2014 NRMCA Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey Survey Responses Now in its fifteenth year, the annual survey is limited to NRMCA member companies only. NRMCA received submissions from 90 companies or divisions. The usefulness of these fleet performance statistics are enhanced by the level of participation in the survey. Some items were not responded to by all participants. The percentage response is reported in each of the following sections and it is suggested by the authors that a response less than about 30% may not be statistically significant. Results of the survey are compiled nationally. Responses came from eight geographical regions which are mapped in the appendix of this report. Table 1: Geographical Distribution of Survey Responses in Percent US Region Southeastern Eastern Great Lakes/Mid-West South-Central % of Total Reponses 27% 21% 8% 12% US Region Rocky Mountain North-Central Pacific Northwest Pacific Southwest % of Total Reponses 3% 8% 1% 16% Mixer Fleets A total of 15,613 concrete mixer trucks are represented in the 2014 survey. In 2013 the survey represented just fewer than 11,000 mixer trucks. Using yards delivered per truck annually, 4,610 (median from survey question #63) and the estimated total US ready mixed concrete produced from the NRMCA website (approx. 301,000,000), one can estimate the number of ready mixed concrete trucks currently operating in the United States to be approximately 65,292. This is compared to an estimated 80,000 just a few years ago. On a national basis the severe recession in the ready mixed concrete industry started in the middle part of 2006 and the rate of decline in production peaked between the third and fourth quarters of 2009. Along with the reduction in production, most companies have retired older mixers, sold off some of their fleet, and have parked and removed tags on other trucks. Based on data submitted, the average number of mixer trucks per company/division (represented by this survey) is 173 (up about 8% from the 2013 report). This number continues to change every year due to consolidation, mergers, recession and demographics of those who participate in this survey. The median number (which may be more typical) for mixer trucks in a fleet is 99. This means that about half of the companies who responded to the survey have 99 mixer trucks or less and the other half reported more than 99 mixer trucks. The average age of a fleet by company and average age of the individual trucks was higher as compared to last year. The average fleet age for the 90 companies/divisions who responded to this question was 9.7 years, while the average age of individual trucks was calculated to be 8.7 years as compared to 8.0 last year. The average age of a fleet of 9.7 years is the highest in the survey’s history and continues an upward trend which started in 2007. (Individual company number of trucks x fleet age / total number of trucks surveyed) 4 2014 NRMCA Fleet Benchmarking and Costs Survey These numbers reflect industry’s practice of retiring and selling off older vehicles while at the same time not replacing those vehicles with newer units. According to the Truck Mixer’s Manufacturer’s Bureau, sales of new mixer trucks were higher in 2013 than 2012 but still at very low levels when compared to just a few years ago. In terms of sheer numbers, rear discharge mixers still dominate the survey representing approximately 75% of all mixers. Front discharge mixers make up the remaining 25% of the truck mixers. It is interesting to note that 24% of all companies/divisions reporting do have mixed fleets with some front and some rear discharge mixers. Considering previous trends with fleets that include at least one mixer truck with a conveyor system attached, these data suggest that this frequency is about one in twelve companies.

According to the 2014 Fleet Survey, three-axle and four-axle booster or pusher configurations are most common. This accounts for about 68 percent of the operating mixer trucks. In order to meet federal bridge weight restrictions and increase load carrying capacity, more ready mixed concrete trucks are using four or more axles. In the four-axle category, tail axles out number pushers by about 2-to1. However, the data may be biased by the geographical distribution of responses and the pertinent state and local weight restrictions.

That’s equal to more than 11,000 trips around the equator. The average annual mileage on a ready mixed concrete truck was 16,435 miles last year. This statistic, which is up about 3% over last year, is still considerably lower than the high number recorded in the last 10 years of 18,896 (2006 survey) and can be contributed to the reduction in ready mixed concrete production on a national basis. Another interesting benchmarking data point is miles per cubic yard. This is calculated by dividing average truck miles by average total cubic yards delivered per truck. Nationally, that number this year is 3.44 miles/cubic yard. Miles per cubic yard can give a company an idea of how well its operation is able to acquire jobs close to the production facility. Naturally, large urban areas will have an advantage over more rural areas. The average haul distance a mixer truck must travel will vary depending on location, type of construction, and commitment to customers. The average one-way haul distance for the 82 companies that reported data was 14.79 miles, which is one of the highest reported in the last 14 years. For this survey the average load-size was 7.97 cubic yards and the average full load was 9.82 cubic yards. Both figures are up slightly from last year’s survey. Important to a ready mixed concrete producer is the “load-size coefficient” which can be calculated by dividing average load-size by typical full-load-size and multiplying times 100 to convert to a percentage. In general, the higher the load size coefficient, the lower the cost of trucking per cubic yard. Of the 65 companies reporting both numbers, the calculated average load-size coefficient was 82%, with a high of 99% and a low of 70%.

In the last few years our industry has seen unprecedented price swings for diesel and gasoline. Unfortunately, it appears that by all accounts that trend will continue for, at least, the near future. Fuel consumption factors can be measured in many different ways. Typical “miles per gallon” (mpg) is used as a measure by many “long haul” trucking companies. In the ready mixed concrete industry, although most companies track mpg data, it does not provide a true picture of fuel usage considering that a mixer truck spends varying amount of time at idle, mixing concrete or off-road travel. The price paid per gallon of fuel can also be calculated from data reported by companies on the basis of both “Gallon per Cubic Yard” and “Fuel Costs per Cubic Yard”: Price per Gallon = Fuel Cost per yd3 / Gallons per yd3 In 2013, fuel costs for the ready mixed concrete industry remained at all time highs. The median fuel cost according to this survey was $3.47 per gallon; an increase about the same as the average fuel cost of the previous year. Fuel costs per cubic yard are up from $3.86 per yard in 2012 to $3.93 per yard in 2013, about a 2% increase Important to this industry is the percentage of fuel usage for power-take-off (PTO) energy use. This information, however, cannot be determined from the reported data. In 2006 NRMCA with cooperation of its member companies conducted a national study on PTO fuel usage. The data and final report was made available to the Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for consideration to rebate ready mixed concrete producers for excise taxes paid on this portion of fuel use. The study estimated PTO fuel use to be approximately 20 to 25% of total fuel consumption, while the IRS has calculated it to be 30.2%.

In past years, data reveal that cost of fleet maintenance is directly related to the average age of the fleet. In general, a younger fleet will have lower maintenance costs. Although, with technology ever advancing, new equipment and devices are being placed on mixers, most require at least some additional maintenance. The total maintenance cost is calculated by the sum of cost of parts, outside repair services, shop expenses, cost of tires, and cost for mobile communication.

Of the 89 companies who reported, 3% allow recaps on the steer axle tires. On the other hand, 86% of all reporting companies allow the use of recaps on the drive or trailer axle tires. The maximum number of recaps allowed on a casing ranged from one to six with an average of just over two. The survey also provides an estimate of the cost to the producer for a breakdown due to a tire failure. After removing outliers, this average cost was approximately $230 in 2013. Another interesting number derived from the data is road-calls per truck per year. On average, a ready mixed concrete company makes approximately 3.9 road calls related to tire failures per month for every 100 trucks in their fleet.

The concept of PM is to carefully service and inspect each truck in the fleet at regular intervals to minimize the number of breakdowns. A good PM program predicts breakdown frequency and necessary repairs. This allows servicing to be scheduled at optimum times before the breakdown occurs. Typical PM drain intervals are calculated in terms of hours of engine running time. Historically, manufacturers have recommended PM drain services at a frequency of about 300 hrs. Our survey results reveal that about 82% of producers base drain intervals on engine hours and surprisingly none base their drain intervals on oil analysis.

Historically, drum chipping has been performed by drivers during slow or off-peak times. In today’s fastpaced industry, an increasing number of producers have elected to contract drum chipping to outside vendors. The survey allows us to estimate about how many producers are using an outside service for drum chipping. That number turns out to be about 89% this year. Also in this year’s survey are additional questions which include costs of drum chipping. A good PM program is necessary to ensure long mixer-drum life. In this survey, the average service life of a mixer-drum was determined to be 7.4 years, while delivering just over than 40,000 yards of concrete. Both numbers are nearly the highest recorded by this survey. The life of a drum is dependent on a number of factors including the hardness of the aggregate used in concrete. An aggregate made of very hard granite might wear out a steel drum with only 15,000 yards of concrete delivered, while, on the other hand, using a soft marine limestone might allow the same drum to deliver about 70,000 cubic yards.

This piece of equipment is vital to both production rate and product quality. Keeping the loader in good working condition is mandatory for a successful operation. This survey, representing more than 2,200 loaders from 90 companies/divisions, reveals the average age of a loader is 11.44 years. The data also shows that a company, on average, operates 1 loader for every 6.8 truck mixers.

Parked trucks due to low driver availability can be very costly. Driver availability rates are generally calculated daily for each plant and averaged on a monthly or yearly basis. The ready mixed concrete industry measures fleet statistics to track the efficiency and effectiveness of equipment PM and repair programs. Factors that affect the Fleet Availability ratios are PM programs, average age of the fleet, parts availability, competency of mechanics and warranties. Fleet Utilization is another key ratio that matches the number of available drivers with available trucks with a goal of 100% utilization. This can be quite difficult in markets that experience driver shortages. Dispatch efficiency is determined as the (driver hours worked – driver standby hours)/driver hours worked. The OES committee also asked producers for backing accidents and roll-over incidents. The data reveal those who reported (87 companies) the rollover rate per 100 trucks is 0.5 and for those companies reporting backing accident (75 companies) the rate is 6.1 backing accidents per 100 trucks. The benchmarking data in this section are not included in Table 12, “Trend Analysis”, of this report.
