Type I and Type II portland cement in bulk pneumatic tanker loads, delivered across the Houston metro. Tell us the quantity and the delivery point, and you'll have a price back the same business day.
Same-day turnaround during business hours.
Portland cement is graded under ASTM C150. The two grades Houston buyers ask for most:
The standard workhorse for concrete that doesn't face special exposure conditions: slabs, foundations, general structural work. If a spec just says "portland cement," this is usually it.
Formulated for moderate sulfate exposure and lower heat of hydration, common for work in contact with soils and groundwater. Along the Gulf Coast, most bulk cement ships as a combined Type I/II that meets both specs.
Around Houston, Type II earns its keep. Gulf Coast soils and groundwater carry enough sulfate that specs for foundations, drilled shafts, and anything below grade routinely call for moderate sulfate resistance, and the combined Type I/II most terminals ship covers those jobs without a special order.
Not sure which your spec calls for? Read us the line item over the phone. Confirming the right material takes two minutes and costs nothing.
Most bulk Type I/II moving around this metro goes to a handful of jobs:
The Houston standard for trench backfill and utility bedding. Batch operations mixing CSS burn through bulk cement on a steady schedule, and we keep those loads showing up on time.
Site batch plants and smaller producers running slabs, paving, and structural pours. Full tanker loads blown straight into the silo keep the plant fed without storage headaches.
Roadway and pavement base mixed with cement for strength under heavy traffic. Quantities run big and schedules run tight, so lead-time honesty matters more than anything.
Pressure grouting, slurry walls, and flowable fill operations that need consistent cement on a repeating cycle, in full loads or super sacks.
Bulk cement is a logistics business. Here's how we run ours:
| Detail | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Delivery method | Bulk pneumatic tanker, 25-ton standard loads, blown into your silo or pig |
| Smaller quantities | Super sacks (2,000 lb) available on request |
| Minimum order | Full loads preferred; under 20 tons is a shortload and carries a shortload fee |
| Quote turnaround | Same business day |
| Typical lead time | Next-day for the Houston metro, same-day possible depending on trucking |
| Payment terms | Standard commercial terms |
A word on supply: Texas cement runs tight in peak construction season, and plants go on allocation when demand spikes. If your project has a hard pour schedule, get your order in early. A supplier who answers the phone in March is worth more than a nickel saved in January.

If your cement line item is for soil stabilization, subgrade drying, or backfill rather than structural concrete, ask about cement kiln dust. We supply that too, and for dirt work it usually prices well below finished cement.
Routine bulk runs across greater Houston and southeast Texas. Outside the list? Call. Most of the region is within normal service range.
Yes. We quote and supply bulk Type I and Type II portland cement across the Houston metro, delivered by pneumatic tanker. Along the Gulf Coast most bulk cement ships as a combined Type I/II that meets both specs. Call with your quantity and delivery point for a same-day price.
Full pneumatic tanker loads (25 tons) are standard. Loads under 20 tons are shortloads and carry a shortload fee. Super sacks (2,000 lb) are available for smaller quantities.
Quotes come back the same business day, and delivery is typically next-day for the Houston metro, with same-day possible depending on trucking. For large or urgent orders, call ahead so we can confirm logistics before quoting.
Three things: quantity in tons or loads, the delivery city or ZIP, and your timeline. If your job has a spec, have it handy and we'll confirm the right material.
Often, yes. If the cement is for stabilizing or drying dirt rather than structural concrete, ask us about cement kiln dust (CKD). We supply it in bulk and it usually prices well below finished cement for that work. Details at houstonckd.com, or just ask on the call.
