The invention includes a method of minimizing the delivery cost of a slurry. According to the invention, a mobile tank is incompletely loaded wit h an at least partially dehydrated component of the slurry. Sufficient room is left in the tank for a diluent to be later added and the slurry constituted in th e mobile tank. The incompletely loaded mobile tank is transported to a destination, thereby obviating expense associated with transporting a diluen t portion of the slurry. At the destination, diluent is added to the tank and the slurry is constituted by activating a mechanical agitator within the tank. Slurry is then off-loaded from the mobile tank.
