I placed my concrete friday and saturday (July 6 & 7) which is almost two weeks ago. How long should I wait before I pull my truck in? The concrete is
6" thick, 5000psi and I kept it watered for about 3 days. Normally I would just wait a couple more weeks but they are calling for large hail today and don't want my truck to be sitting outside it doesn't need to be. I saw in another thread that in 7 days the concrete is about 2/3 and then at 28 days about 98% of its strength. My truck weighs about 7500lbs so it is fairly heavy. I just don't want to do any damage to my brand new concrete.
Thanks in advance
Will

If your truck can damage that concrete at this point, then the concrete is defective to start with. You might want to put cardboard down where the tires will roll over the concrete to keep it clean if you are planning on doing any finish over the raw concrete in the near future. Other than that, I can't see any harm....... Junk.....

Thanks for all the replies. I had to stop watering it because of unexpected trip out of town and no one here to keep it wet.
