Xxxxxxxxx THIS EXECUTIVE TRANSITION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on February 12, 2020, by and between U.S. Concrete, Inc. (the “Company”) and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx (“Executive”). WHEREAS, Executive currently serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the terms of an Executive Severance Agreement he entered into with the Company on August 22, 2011 (the “Executive Severance Agreement”), as well as serving as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors; WHEREAS, Executive has informed the Company that as of April 3, 2020, (the “Transition Date”), he intends to step down from his position as Chief Executive Officer and that he will not stand for reelection as Chairman of the Board, as more fully set forth in Section 2.a(ii), but that he is willing to serve as a consultant in the role of an Executive Advisor to the new Chief Executive Officer for a period of up to two years thereafter; WHEREAS, the Company wishes to not only secure the services of Executive as an Executive Advisor to ensure and facilitate a smooth transition for his successor, but to also enforce the Waiver and Release of Claims outlined in Sections 7 and 8 and the Post-Employment Obligations outlined in Section 10 of this Agreement; and WHEREAS, effective as of the Transition Date, the Company and the Executive hereby agree to terminate the Executive Severance Agreement and to substitute the terms of this Agreement for that Executive Severance Agreement; and NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Executive Severance Agreement; Executive Transition Agreement. a. The parties agree that the terms of the Executive Severance Agreement shall continue in effect until the Transition Date upon which time it shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Limitations. Executive acknowledges that without prior written consent of the Company’s CEO, he shall not have the authority to act or make decisions for, give instructions to, or make commitments on behalf of the Company, and shall not hold himself out to any party as having any such authority. g. Other Boards. During the Transition Period, Executive may serve on the board of directors of other entities and may pursue passive investments; provided that such activities do not unreasonably interfere with his duties and responsibilities hereunder or create a conflict of interest with the Company. 3.

For purposes of this Agreement, Cause for termination shall be deemed to exist upon: (i) Executive’s willful and continued failure to perform his principal duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to injury, accident, illness, or physical or mental incapacity) as reasonably determined by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board; (ii) Executive’s theft or embezzlement of the Company’s money, equipment, or securities; (iii) The conviction of Executive of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by Executive to any felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or dishonesty; or (iv) A material breach of this Agreement by Executive and the failure of Executive to cure such breach within ten (10) business days of written notice thereof specifying the breach. No act or omission on the part of Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done by Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Executive’s action was in the best interests of the Company. 5

Exhibit 10.1 d. Death or Disability. Both parties agree that this Agreement shall terminate upon the death or disability of Executive.

All other obligations and responsibilities outlined within this Agreement, for the benefit of either party including but not limited to Compensation and Benefits, Change in Control, and Post-Employment Obligations, are expressly understood to be fulfilled, no longer binding, and/or null and void, with no further obligation or responsibility owed to either party as of the date of termination. b.

The Company shall commence payment of such benefits within 15-business days from the date the release becomes irrevocable. Any cash payments made pursuant to this Section 5.c shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum. 6

The Executive agrees to take the following steps to preserve the confidential and proprietary nature of the Company’s Confidential Information. (i) Non-Disclosure. During and after Executive’s employment with the Company and subsequent engagement as an independent contractor, Executive will not use, disclose or transfer any of the Company’s Confidential Information or materials other than as authorized by the Company within the scope of his duties with the Company, and will not use in any way other than in Company’s business any of the Company’s Confidential Information, including information or material received by the Company from others and intended by the Company to be kept in confidence by its recipients. (ii) Return All Materials. Executive will return to the Company all the Company’s Confidential Information, materials and copies of the foregoing at any time upon the request of the Company and without such request at the termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.1 (iii) Discussing or disclosing information related to Executive’s general duties or responsibilities and/or regarding wages, as defined by applicable law. 10. Post-Employment Obligations. Executive acknowledges that his services to the Company have been and may continue to be special and unique; that he has had access to the Company’s customers and confidential information; and, that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the restrictions contained in this Section 10. Therefore, Executive agrees: a. Non-Compete. During all times that this Agreement remains in effect (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not directly or indirectly, individually or as an officer, director, executive, shareholder (except if he is a shareholder of less than 1% of a publicly traded security), consultant, contractor, partner, joint venturer, agent, equity owner, or in any capacity whatsoever, engage in or promote any business that is competitive with the business of the Company in any geographic area in which the Company does or plans to do business while Executive was employed or engaged as an independent contractor, including but not limited to the United States and Canada. A business competitive with the Company is defined as a business engaged in either the manufacture and distribution of ready-mix concrete or the mining of sand and aggregate materials used in the manufacturing of ready mix concrete. b. Non-Solicitation and Non-Interference with Customers and other Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, knowingly solicit (other than on behalf of the Company) business or contracts for any products or services of the type provided, developed or under development by the Company from or with (i) any person or entity which was a customer of the Company for such products or services as of, or within one year prior to Executive’s Transition Date, or (ii) any prospective customer which the Company was soliciting as of, or within one year prior to Executive’s Transition Date. Further, Executive shall not during the Restricted Period knowingly interfere or attempt to interfere with any transaction, agreement or business relationship in which the Company was involved during Executive’s employment with the Company. c. Non-Solicitation of Employees and Contractors. During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not knowingly solicit any person employed by the Company, or who within 180 days of Executive’s Transition Date had been so employed by the Company, to leave the employ of the Company. Further, during the Restricted Period, Executive will not knowingly solicit any contractor of the Company to terminate or reduce its business with the Company. d. Executive Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that the geographic boundaries, scope of prohibited activities, and time duration of the preceding paragraphs are reasonable in nature and no broader than are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. e. Non-Disparagement. Executive will not at any time make any statement, written or oral, to any person or entity, including in any forum or media, or take any action, in disparagement of the Company, its affiliates, the Board, or any current, former or future shareholders, officers, directors, or employees, or take any other action that may disparage any shareholders, officers, 10

Exhibit 10.1 directors, or employees to the general public, investors, potential investors, business partners, or potential business partners. 11. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 10 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the business and interests of the Company, and that Executive’s breach or threatened breach of these restrictions will cause the Company substantial irreparable injury. Accordingly, in addition to the Company’s right to arbitrate disputes hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain emergency equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction, in aid of arbitration, from any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction, without first posting a bond, to restrain such breach or threatened breach. Upon the issuance (or denial) of an injunction, the underlying merits of any dispute will be resolved in accordance with the arbitration provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained herein are necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests and are reasonable in nature, duration, and scope. 12. Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 11 of this Agreement: a. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally agree that any past, present, or future dispute, controversy, or claim arising under or relating to this Agreement; arising under any federal, state, local, or foreign statute, regulation, constitution, law, ordinance, or the common law; or arising in connection with the Executive’s engagement by the Company or resignation thereof involving Executive, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, including both claims brought by the Executive and claims brought against Executive, shall be submitted for resolution to binding arbitration as provided herein; provided that nothing herein shall require arbitration of a claim or charge which, by law, cannot be the subject of a compulsory arbitration agreement. b. The parties further agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, that this Agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding, that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that claims pertaining to different similarly situated individuals will be heard in separate proceedings. c. Any such arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); shall be conducted in accordance with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified herein; and shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. Such arbitration will be conducted in Texas, and the arbitrator will apply Texas law, including federal statutory law as applied in Texas courts. Except as set forth in Section 11, above, the arbitrator, and not any federal or state court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and/or formation of this Agreement, including any dispute as to whether (i) a particular claim is subject to arbitration hereunder, and/or (ii) any part of this Section 12 is void or voidable. The arbitral award shall be in writing, shall state the reasons for the award, and shall be final and binding on the parties. Executive shall treat the arbitration as strictly confidential, and shall not disclose the existence or nature of any claim, defense, or argument; any 11

Exhibit 10.1 documents, correspondence, pleadings, briefings, exhibits, testimony, evidence, or information exchanged or presented in connection with any claim, defense, or argument; or any rulings, decisions, or results of any claim, defense, or argument (collectively, “Arbitration Materials”) to any third party, with the sole exception of the Executive’s legal counsel, who Executive shall ensure complies with these confidentiality terms. In the event the Company substantially prevails in an action involving Executive breach of any provision of Section 10 or Section 12 hereunder, such party shall be entitled to an award including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent such an award is permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator otherwise shall not have authority to award attorneys’ fees or costs, punitive damages, compensatory damages, damages for emotional distress, penalties, lost opportunities, or any other damages or relief not measured by the prevailing party’s actual out-of-pocket losses, except to the extent such relief is explicitly available under a statute, ordinance, or regulation pursuant to which a successful claim is brought. In agreeing to arbitrate the parties’ claims hereunder, the parties hereto hereby recognize and agree that they are waiving their right to a trial in court and/or by a jury, including Executive’s waiver of any right or ability to participate in any class, collective, or multi-party action against the Company or its affiliates. d. In the event of any court proceeding to challenge or enforce an arbitrator’s award, the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Dallas, Texas; agree to exclusive venue in that jurisdiction; and waive any claim that such jurisdiction is an inconvenient or inappropriate forum. The parties agree to take all steps necessary to protect the confidentiality of the Arbitration Materials in connection with any court proceeding, agree to use their reasonable best efforts to file any court proceeding permitted herein and all Confidential Information (and all documents containing Confidential Information) under seal, and agree to the entry of an appropriate protective order encompassing the confidentiality terms of this Agreement. 13. Code Section 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, all Compensation and Benefits to be paid or provided to Executive pursuant to Section 3 are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A so as to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties thereunder, and all terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with this intent. a. If it is determined that any payment, distribution, transaction, or any other action or arrangement contemplated by this Agreement would, if undertaken, cause Executive to become subject to any additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A, such payment, distribution, transaction, or other action or arrangement shall not be given effect to the extent it causes such result and the related provisions of the Agreement will be deemed modified or, if necessary, suspended in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. b. If any payment, distribution, transaction, or any other action or arrangement contemplated by this Agreement constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such payment, distribution, transaction, or any other action or arrangement will, be made only upon Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A). For purposes of this Section 12 and to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, references to Executive’s Transition Date shall mean a “separation from service.” 12

Exhibit 10.1 (i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to Executive due to his “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” and will instead be paid on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. (ii) Any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” payable more than six months following Executive’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made. 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law. 15. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which or into which the Company may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him. 16. Indemnification. The Company, to the extent that it does so generally for its officers and directors and to the extent permitted by its corporate by-laws, shall provide Executive with directors and officers liability insurance and shall indemnify, defend, and hold Executive harmless from and against any and all demands, claims, damages, and expenses relating to any acts or omissions he performs on behalf of the Company as an Executive Advisor. 17.
