In my area, northern California, I can't get a yard delivered either. The
last time I checked, the practical limit was 3 yards.
But twice I have gotten one yard mini-mixers from a local cement place. They
require a 3/4 ton truck to tow and can be rented/loaded with less than a
yard if that is all one needs. A second, cheaper and lighter alternative was
a big trough on wheels, also carrying a yard. But for any trip length, the
cement settles. And sloshing on curves can be really horrible. So I never
rented one of those.
I have used the small mixers originally described. They work well for small
amounts. But for anything approaching a yard (and I have wheelbarrow
access!), the towable mini-mixer is great.
