Multiple stages

I would like to see the ability to combine certain stages. For instance, why drive to the supplier three times with a regular truck (even with crane) when you could park your crane, (truck mounted or mobile.) at the suppliers parking lot. Then drive there with your lowboy truck and it's flatbed trailer and load all at once. At least all that will fit on the lowboy flatbed. Then take the crane and lowboy rig to the jobsite and unload as each stage requests in order. ???!!!

Of course the stages need to be done in order, but in real life no builder makes more trips than he has to.

Great idea, but you can do that now. Everybody does that. There's nothing to change in the game.
Except that you usually have the tower crane at the job site for unloading, so you don't need to bring your own crane. Just park the truck in a nearby street and the crane operator will pick what he needs at each stage.
About real life: in my experience (in North America) the builder doesn't usually make delivery trips to a merchant for materials. Suppliers will deliver according to a pre-agreed schedule.

Yes thats right (I live in Lansing MI) but when he does move a vehicle he makes sure it has all that it can have..

I have tried to load all the stuff at once but it's not available, or I did something wrong, because when the next stage comes along it still wants me to go get it. ?! Maybe I just ignore what it wants and continue??

At the materials dealer, it is available but the numbers you need are not highlighted in yellow.
At the walls factory you can't buy in advance.

The message to go get it depends on how the author has designed the particular mission.
Usually the goal is just to drop the correct item in the delivery area at the correct time. The game doesn't care where it comes from. But the message is automated, it still says "Get (item) from the materials dealer and deliver it to the delivery area". You can ignore it and just set the needed items in place. This will trigger the condition.

Some missions have an annoying extra condition "Drive to the materials dealer". I wish mission designers never did that. In this case the condition is achieved by any vehicle entering the dealer's premises. I just hop in the escort vehicle and teleport to the dealer and back.
