+1 on that. Be sure you get your math right-- Each block weighs
about 40 lbs-- That puts your 800 blocks at about 16 tons. That's a
lot of trips with a one ton truck.

I'd gladly pay the premium to have the local guy deliver them on 9-10
pallets, and distribute them around the site to minimize carrying.


I'm debating whether to make 800 trips and get one block each trip.
That's 88,000 miles.

Or to make 80 trips and get 10 blocks each trip. That would only be
8,800 miles.
