What is a "mixer". - If by any chanco you mean a concrete transit truck, they go from 3 to about 15 cubic yards
Normal weight concrete weighs about 4000 lb. per cubic yard. Lightweight concrete weighs about 3000 lb. per cubic yard. If a truck is carrying 10 cubic yards, then the weight of the concrete is approximately 40,000 lb. The truck will weigh approximately 26,000 lb. for a total of 66,000 lb.
There is more than one answer to this question. The approximate empty weight of a 10 wheel, 3 axle cement mixer is estimated at between 35,000 and 40,000. The maximum legal GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) loaded for a 10 wheel 3 axle cement mixer is 73,280lbs, depending on the state. A 10 wheel, rear discharge mixer can have a drum which varies in size from 7 cubic yards to 11 cubic yards. The size of the drum affects the weight. The empty weight is also affected by the wheels (Cast Iron Dayton's or Aluminum Budd's) the difference in weight is 1,200 pounds. A concrete mixer is also affected by the size of the water tank. These vary in size from 150 gallons to 400 gallons. This could have an affect on the vehicle weight of between 1,050 and 2,800 lbs.
It depends on the concrete company you're working with. You need 33 yards of concrete. Concrete companies deliver the stuff in full truckloads - and no, this is NOT a job for Sakrete. If you can find a company that has Oshkosh front-load mixers, you'll need three truckloads because those trucks hold 11 yards. If you can only find companies with rear-load mixers, you need 36 yards because a rear-load mixer holds 6 yards of concrete.
That question is nonsense. A yard is only a length measure and no volume. A weight cannot be a length. Normally when someone says "yards" like "yards of dirt" or "yards of concrete" they mean cubic yards. The 's dependent on what the commodity is 2.5 yards of mulch will weigh less than 2.5 yards of concrete. To find this out, get a table and find out what a cubic foot of the commodity weighs, then multiply by 27 to find the weight per cubic yard, then multiply by 2.5 to get the weight you're looking for.

Most will hold 10 cubic yards. Some local codes will force them to run 8 or less because of the weight.
