If it's constant and dude isn't trying to get better that's a different story but a good worker who shows up is worth a mistake here and there. Finding a new employee and teaching him how to do it the way you want him to is harder than training up your current guy . Usually this kind of stuff happens because there is no communication he could've measured an area that he was told was gonna get poured or something could've changed in the fly only a shit boss would go and fire a guy for just this .

      Youre better off getting exactly what you need an d little bit extra in case, not an entire truck load. plus it wont cost the customer less, they will have to pay $1800 for a pile of concrete dumped on their property.

It's important to know when to allow your employee to learn from his/her expensive mistake and how often it happens.

      So the dude telling the story owns a cement mixer. He gets a call from the guy doing the job, tells him the size and ordered 6 trucks full of cement. He gets there, looks at it and says it doesn’t need 6 trucks only 5. So the deal is done that if it needs 6 trucks, the concreter gets the 6th one free, and if it only needs 5, the truck driver is still paid for the 6.
      I assume he questioned it because as the truck driver, he buys the cement and if he buys 6 truck fulls and the job only needs 5, they can say we don’t need the last one and not pay him so he’s out a load of cement that will be useless in a short time.

To make matters worse, when he realized I was right, he called to cancel but the trucks were on the road and the supplier said best he could do is call them back but he still had to pay for them. The guy who was wrong said them “send them anyway”. He told me he did it for spite. I told him he would never get any favors out of the supplier that way. He was only 26, has some learning to do.

      Basically each truck holds 10 cubic yards of concrete. 3x3x3 ft
      A slab is pretty easy to calculate. Measure width, length, and depth. Multiply the three numbers. Usually you measure in feet so once you’ve multiplied you’ll divide by 27. Whatever number pops out will be how many yards of concrete you need. If you did the measurements right that is.
      So this guy is charging $180/yd. That’s where the $1,800 came from.

      @@DeusGladiorum I just ran the numbers on my end how I would bid. Now take this with a grain of salt because I’m from Texas and I haven’t seen the job so this is a hard guess.
      Demo/haul off with excavation - 3 man 8 hours
      $950
      I guessed on a 4” slab pour and ran the rebar based on that coming out to 360sqft or roughly 19x19. Super rough guess but hearing it was in the back yard I assume it’s stand alone and not being tied in to anything existing.
      Reinforcement material (rebar,wire,chairs) and install-
      $910
      Concrete material only
      $800
      Pour labor- 3 man
      $450
      Finisher
      $200
      Overhead and profit 10% (there’s always a little more mixed in when I round up all the previous numbers)
      $330
      Total
      $3640
      Edit: I just saw you gave me the area already. I saw the 120 and ran with it
