    That's the easy way, guy don't have to keep start and stop...but when you had a bunch of Tri-axles, it was tough on the driver.

    That's the only job I hated driving dumps for many years, most of us did--damn milling. You couldn't crawl slow enough for those damn machines back in the day. Even in granny, you'd have to push in the clutch, let it out slow and the guy would make the slow down sign again. That's the only time I ever needed a clutch adjustment in my life was when there was a milling job lasted a month! Whole fleet needed clutch adjustments!! For you kids out there who have only drove the automatics, we most of us never used our clutch except to put her in gear....and the DAMN MILLINGS!! LOL!! Hell, I miss hauling asphalt so much I wouldn't bitch about a milling job never again!! Would of been nice to have an automatic, MILLINGS Made Easy.

    Change some teeth too pattern looks bad hopefully they have the grade up a few clicks so when they take that shoulder pass at full depth there is no ridge and they better run the petntiometer or slope cause that shoulder is definitely higher than 2 inches

    I noticed the road base layer (in its milled/planed state) below the running surface also had cracks running through the pavement. The new matt may start to show similar signs of failure in the not to distant future. You may need to plane/mill deeper, as there appears to be a problem at a deeper level.

    This particular job was a mill and seal project and its aim is to simply replace the wearing course and buy the road another 8 -10 years before a more comprehensive Mill, Base and Seal. When we want to slow down reflective cracking we will use a Full or Partial depth recycling mix then base and seal.

  • @Why_not_me_9-24-81
    @Why_not_me_9-24-816 ай бұрын

    It’s the asphalt they’re using. There are many different types. Each mixed differently so the asphalt guys call it mix instead of asphalt. They setup their pavers differently for different mixes. There is base. It uses bigger aggregate. Then binder and then the top coat is surface. The aggregate used in each mixture gets smaller and smaller. Those are just the generic names for the different layers. It gets more complex than that. They use a different mix for driveways. Usually because there isn’t a base or binder. Sometimes in parking lots they won’t use a base so they’ll use a special binder that acts as both. You get what saying? Mix is short for mixture. The mixture is the material being laid

    Because the chipseal we are overlaying is rich in AC and the heat of the fresh overlay bonds the two lifts together. On top of that, a coat of 1/2" chip seal will be applied to the top of everything as a final surface to bond it all down.

    Been on lots of these jobs, by the way the tailings are ECO-inert, so no special handling as it rains. most plants reuse a % into the mix as it saves money, the oil aka asphalt didn't go anywhere its in the tailings.

    What would you have them do? all road jobs, local, state or federal REQUIRE a minimum number of employee as specified in the contract. It will depend on what the job entails. so the so-called "loafers" most likely have a critical part in the ENTIRE job, just not at the moment of video. 15 or more hour days are not unheard of and again what the contract specifies some jobs go 24/7.
