Ivylog, Glad you are not doing my driveway. No way I would spend that kind of money and then park a 14K fiver on it after 5 days.
Glad you know so much. Last week I had a 12 yard concrete truck put the front tires on 48 hours old concrete...it was a front loader truck. 3000 psi concrete means when fully cured it will support 3,000 lbs / square inch. In 48 hours it's 25% cured. Do the math for a tire with 120 psi in it.:S In 5 days it's 35-40% cured.
I started to tell the OP 2 days but said 5 in hopes someone who has never poured concrete would not spout off.
PS: TT tires have closer to 60 psi in them. In the last 60 days I have pour aprox 50 yards.
