*I am having an apartment building gutted because of fire, the

16-20 ft bed 5 ft high, I guess maybe 10 ton loaded but I dont know.
What do I need to have them put under the wheels to protect my
concrete and lawn, can I really protect the concrete from cracking. I
thought using 1" plywood cut in half so I would have 2" thick 4 foot
wide sheets under each wheel. Or must I have them park in the street.

Sadly plywood does not distribute the load very much. *It's crap shoot

No the sidewalk is up to the building and the truck will be there all
day for days.
