ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The apparatus of the present invention comprises a vehicle having a cement carrying container and two water carrying containers. The cement container is V-shaped in cross section with outwardly, flared walls adjacent the apex of the V, and includes an auger screw conveyor inside the container extending along the V-shaped bottom thereof. The auger is adapted to convey the cement within the container along the length of the auger to an outlet opening adjacent the bottom of the container. A vertical conveyor carries the cement upwardly from the outlet opening to a third conveyor which carries the cement to the concrete mixer being serviced. Within the container below the auger conveyor are a plurality of fluffing means which introduce air under pressure to the cement to cause it to be fluffed and to prevent it from packing around the auger screw. The two water containers are positioned on opposite sides of the cement container so as to provide symmetrical loading of the weight of the water about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
