@@hwhvp1 I've been driving for 26 years and I'm still an untrained moron compared to those guys. Granted, I don't drive what they do, for the reason they do, but DANG!
I like the signpost wide open because there is a small town ship in the UK called wide-open in the north of England about 40 minutes from where I am pretty cool 😎
Looks like that contractor did a good Job. Penn Dot in PA just slopes it down they miss more of the road than they get. Then it takes them 4 months to Re Paint the lines
Operated a Etnyre Distributor Peterbilt for "Harry's Heavy Haulers" out of Rifle Colo. Loved that Job, Special thanks to Jerry and the Crew I worked with, all were Great folks.
@Jeff Fae Scotland - Come to Blackpool they don't bother filling them in - too busy digging them up mending broken pipes underneath, so instead you get a trench. Result - they either don't fill them enough, or, too much so you either need new springs for your car or you hit your head on the roof. Slows the "Boy Racers" as well - the Police love it.
Get a company to give you a estimate. Our subdivision was getting quotes and the guy told us he could do three times the amount if we did tar and chip.
They like to use that process around the state parks here and everytime they do, there is so much excess material on the road till it storms and pours rain a few times.
Where was this done at - can this chip seal withstand the cold and snowy weather that requires plowing during the winter months in the states that do but back to this video and men in it clearly shows that organized teamwork really makes a difference because you can see that it job was well put together from start to finish and at the end of the day that’s what it takes ! ~ “job well done guys cause you guys made it look too easy”
The nozzles could be automated with a bit of GPS magic, but these drivers are too nice to watch. The amount of their consciousness of their vehicle is stunning and far from the average car driver. Their employer will think long and hard before he replaces any of these guys!!
Look at the quality of service and professionalism guys, if it was here in Brazil, this same service took a month, and a week after the service, it was full of holes. Brazil, a country of shame and corruption in cinnamon.
I am sorry to hear about a bad service on your roads but if It is anything like here in the states, there are good quality company's and there are bad ones.
@@hwhvp1 unfortunately here in Brazil is like this, there is no doubt that we have beautiful things here, beaches, culture, etc., but the governmental organizations leave much to be desired. One day I know this wonderful country, it's yours. hugs. sorry my english, rsrsrsr Bad Portuguese.
I ran a distributor for 17 years, you guys did a great job, I would shoot backwards a lot, seems like I could follow curbs better. wondered if you were spraying CRS-2 emulsion, cause we could never let AC sit that long without cover material and rolling.
polymer I hated that crap we sprayed it on state roads, I used to coat my bar with diesel to help get it clean after spraying that stuff, we ran 2 trucks also would team up like you guys, that was fun to watch@@hwhvp1
@@jefflanz1906 yea it makes a hard job fun for sure. I have the best crew. They make me look good. It's fun to watch those guys do there thing. It makes it worth it to me.
I use to do this work when I was a teenager, and through my early 20s. My Uncle had his own company in Texas called Lipham Construction. We seal coated all summer long. My only complaint about this job is that I didn't see a patch truck in their Fleet. Meaning, they had to keep going back over the road with the spreader to fix the spots they missed or where the spreader was tearing(wheels) the road. I can only hope they crack sealed the road before they started this Job. Side note: My dad drove an asphalt distributor and was a foreman on Jobs like this for 20 years, so I've been around this type of work my whole life. Not to toot my own horn, but I could probably run my own crew if I ever decided to get back into this work. Me and my father worked for Cox Paving after we left Lipham and broke records at that company. We shot more asphalt in one day then anyone ever since that company was created. Not sure if we still hold the record, but those were the good-o-days.
That is awesome Will. Typically the town, City, County, or state will have the crack fill done on a different contract before we show up. Yes the PG oil is very tricky to get to spray without getting clogged tips. It takes good up keep on the distributor trucks and making sure you keep a good hot temp. The idea is to not get "Holliday's" to go fix but sometimes you have to. It comes with the territory unfortunately. We try to fix those before the rock gets on it. That's when we depend on our chip box op. To stop when he sees them
@@hwhvp1 You guys call them Holliday's? Never heard that before, so I guess you learn something new everyday. We shot Rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) when we worked for Cox paving, so I understand the issue of keeping it hot and having to unclog sprayer heads during the shot. We had a lot of guys get burned (myself included) when I worked for Cox. *How I got burned* Cox paving. The distributors we ran had huge tanks on them because we were shooting a mile at a time. I can't remember the capacities of these distributors, but I do remember we could shoot a mile or almost a mile. Anyway! We would have to get up a 3:00AM, and get out to the yard to clean the distributors/sprayer heads, and light the burners on the distributors, so the RAC would get up to temperature. Early one morning one of the distributor operators left the RAC to warm, so we would be ready for our first shot at 7:00AM, and i was back there cleaning the sprayer heads. Long story short the RAC got to hot, blew the pressure valve, and hot asphalt rained down on me and a few other guys. My arms, and back had hot asphalt all over them. The bad thing about RAC is that you have to get it hotter then normal asphalt before you can shoot it due to it having rubber in it. Plus, during each shot a guy(me) has the ride on the back of the truck to keep the sprayer nozzles from getting chalked up. Meaning, as your doing your shot and if you see a nozzle chalk up you have to clean it out as the shot is going. No joke. It the hottest and worst job I've ever done.
I chip seal for Udot and these guys are amazing. If I tried to spray a double intersection with my coworker he would run me over. These guys should definitely be getting paid the big cheese!
to my experience and knowledge, there two mistakes in the application that will lead to lower durability of the chip-sealed area, and long delays between the emulsion spraying and chip spreading especially in the corners where it was better to be done manually immediately after the emulsion application, PTR started very late, they should have been stopped in the opposite side to start the compaction immediately after the first chipping lane was done. the crew was fast, working very precisely especially next to the curb stones and around the curbs
The owner of that company has some great employees. Almost can't fail to make a buck with a team like that. I'm gonna assume (always a dangerous thing) that they are well compensated because you can't achieve that level of proficiency without a lot of experience.
Thank you for the kind words. The great thing about this company, is that it's a father son deal. Not one employee is a number so they do treat us very well in multiple ways at work and personal levels.
You guys are on it! In NZ the methed up clowns shoot the tar on all of the neighbouring vehicles, then dump a shit load of chip down and then charge the state for the job!
