Terminology Evidence Brief
“Ready mix” is generic—not a brand.
For this MMC proposal, follow MMC’s dominant style: ready mix concrete, ready mix driver, and ready mix truck—lowercase in running text. Capitalize only in headings and formal titles, such as MMC Ready Mix Training Simulator. Do not hyphenate universally. Use ready-mixed concrete when quoting ASTM C94; preserve ready-mix only when a source uses it.
MMC: “Ready Mix Concrete”
ASTM C94: “Ready-Mixed Concrete”
