Mixer Driver Recruitment & Retention Survey

NRMCA’s Mixer Driver Recruitment and Retention Survey is sponsored by the Workforce Development Committee. It annually collects mixer driver-specific hiring rates, vacancy rates, hiring trends and challenges, and the projected hire for the current calendar year. It also reports retention rates, turnover rates, reasons for termination as well as why mixer drivers quit, and driver demographics, including average age, tenure, internal job mobility, and union membership rate. Finally, the survey gathers numerous data points about first-year mixer drivers.

Data is gathered anonymously online in early summer and reported in early fall. Analysis includes comparative statistics by year, region, and company size. A five year-highlights report is published in NRMCA’s Concrete InFocus magazine.

NRMCA Quality Benchmarking Report

The NRMCA Quality Benchmarking Report is sponsored by the RES Committee. This benchmarking information is assimilated from applications of NRMCA member companies for the annual Excellence in Quality Awards. Approximately 50 applicants are received from companies or divisions representing approximately 15-20% of estimated US ready mixed concrete production. This Quality Benchmarking report establishes industry benchmarks that impact quality such as establishing and maintaining a quality manual, qualification and training of personnel, customer focus, proper maintenance and operation of production facilities, materials management and testing, specification review and product development for projects,  and measurement analysis and improvement.

Ready Mixed Concrete companies can use these benchmarks to evaluate their company’s investment and return on quality and to strive for continuous improvement. Confidentiality of responses of individual companies is maintained. These benchmarks are reviewed with the RES Committee for additional feedback and improvements to the Quality Award criteria.
