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 Survey
The NRMCA Quality Survey is sponsored by the RES Committee. Only by measuring quality it is possible to improve it and this survey provides a means for companies to do so. The survey can be used to quantify the benefits of improved quality. The survey establishes industry benchmarks that impact quality for frequency of testing, quality control personnel, quality documentation, and equipment monitoring. Producers responding to the survey can compare their systems to these industry benchmarks and improve their processes if necessary. Survey responses of individual companies are kept confidential, while summarized survey responses are shared with all the survey participants.
- An abbreviated report of the survey results is published in NRMCA’s Concrete InFocus magazine. Starting in 2017, quality surveys have been incorporated in NRMCA’s Annual Producer Excellence in Quality Award. For more information, contact NRMCA’s Karthik Obla at 703-706-4863.
NRMCA Regulatory Enforcement Survey
The annual Regulatory Enforcement Survey is conducted by the Safety, Environment and Operations (SEO) Department of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA). Over the last ten years there has been an unprecedented increase in the amount of regulations being promulgated by federal regulatory agencies. This survey is meant to gauge regulatory action within the industry to determine what, if any, regulatory trends on specific issues, issue types, and geographic regions may exist. This information, which is submitted anonymously and confidentially, helps NRMCA better tailor its actions to address and/or combat any such issues, and to keep a finger on the pulse of when, where, how and why regulatory agencies are targeting and/or levying enforcement actions against the industry. Survey responses are collected at the beginning of each year in January and February, with the final survey report published in late spring.

Monthly Reporting of Key Metrics
NRMCA is now offering a new and valuable analytical tool – monthly real-time reporting of key metrics. This new reporting process will allow your organization to make key financial and operational decisions based on information that is provided by you and other NRMCA members real-time on a monthly basis. The information you provide will be aggregated with all other respondents, normalized for monthly comparative analysis and reported to you within days of your submission. It will help you build a database of key information that will become more valuable over time. The new reporting process includes:
Key metrics and related data on a rolling 12-month basis:
- Total aggregate CYDs produced for the 86 participating members
- Average sales price per CYD (standard mean)
- Average sales price per CYD (weighted average based upon CYDs produced)
- Average materials cost per CYD (standard mean)
- Average materials cost per CYD (weighted average based upon CYDs produced)
- Total licensed and insured ready mix trucks
- CYD per ready mix truck
Key metrics and related data on a rolling Quarterly basis:
- Total aggregate CYDs produced for the 86 participating members
- Average sales price per CYD (standard mean)
- Average sales price per CYD (weighted average based upon CYDs produced)
- Average materials cost per CYD (standard mean)
- Average materials cost per CYD (weighted average based upon CYDs produced)
We anticipate that we may add to these four key metrics as organizations begin to appreciate them and come to rely on their value and seek even more information. Information you submit is sent directly to an outside Certified Public Accounting Firm to ensure that confidentiality of your data is maintained.
