100-truck strong Fort Myers concrete mix firm plots more growth

Over more than a decade in the concrete contracting business, Terry Drake Jr. and his father, Terry Drake Sr., experienced many frustrating situations with concrete ready mix companies.

“The ready mix companies were consistently late to every job, and it was eating into our profits,” says Terry Drake Jr., 40. “It was a lot of dead time cutting into jobs, and when we called them and voiced our concerns about it, there was complete disregard for any of the issues they were causing. That told us that there is a need and a space for a new ready mix company that prioritizes customers differently than the industry standard.”
