One page, three steps: see what chipping should cost, run your fleet's real numbers, and get a full report built like a fleet management dashboard.
Built on NRMCA benchmarking data, this live model shows what a defensible chipping budget looks like for a real ready mix fleet. Hover the numbers. Drag the sliders. Then run your own fleet through the analysis below.
Chipping is usually less than 0.2% of concrete sales and about 1% of what a mixer truck already costs to run. NRMCA guidance is direct: clean drums preserve maximum load capacity, mixer life, and safe drum rotation. The expensive chipping program is the one you skip. Benchmarks above are industry averages; the analysis below runs on your fleet's actual numbers, confidentially.

38% of this fleet's chipping spend is variance: emergencies and full-truck chip-outs. The wish-vs-actual gap is 40%, and most of it lives in that variance, the exact spend a FleetCare cadence converts into scheduled, lighter, cheaper visits.
Drum Life grades a C at 1 to 2 visits per plant per year: long cure windows mean harder chips, more fin and blade damage, and shorter drum steel life. Vendor safety grades a B: no confined space forms and no yearly document updates. Express Chipping provides both as standard.
