    In our area you're allowed something like 8 minutes per yard. The drivers 
will usually give you some slack too.

    You might want to consider a line-pump. It's a lot cheaper than the 
snorkel-type and can pump up to 400-feet. 

    I'd do just about anything to keep from humping all that concrete by 
hand.
