On The Job - Pothole Repair - June 2016 

Love when the higher ups try and get all “hands on” with the workers. They’re so clueless about everything.

This show is actually such a great idea, also the city app is a great idea. Well done Edina 10/10 community service

That Carl guy did a heck of a job. He did better than 90% of the people that fix potholes in the nation. I have travelled the nation and talked to people across it that do this work, that Carl guy was concerned, engaged and amazing. I have no idea what or where this city is; but, love the idea that the city manager actually is learning his city. Every mayor or city manager should have to know what goes in to their most important services. Love the fact this guy bothered to do it. Did he keep his job? Was he any good at it? What happened to this guy?

"We try our hardest" Spent like 10 seconds flattening it lol.

Lmao at all the removed comments

Why are you guys criticizing the way my neighbor city fills potholes? There are thousands, and just one is a major improvement.

I've yet to see a pot hole where I live be fixed properly, first rain or snow fall and it's game over.

This is quality work, where I live they fix potholes by making bumps, they put so much asphalt in it and don't flatten it that it makes bumps, so when you ride on them it feels like a horse ride jumping all over.

Bruh Pennsylvania needs this. We look drunk driving whenever we’re sober.

You didn't put out the safety cones

anyone else get satisfied when the blower started immediately

1:14 "I see you here holding an Ipad, I didn't really expect to see that today. So how does an Ipad help help you do your job?" *It lets me look at my favourite memes on the go*

I have never seen so many comments from people who do not work in the industry. This is the standard procedure used at most cities. Other than kicking the edges in a little more, he did what he was supposed to do.

You don't want to pull the tamper backwards, it can push your mix out. Let the tamper go off the patch and turn it around.

thats not an ipad...

Why dont they show the truth. Stop at the corner store get a 40 of beer, have a smoke break, have lunch, have a smoke break, stop for another 40 of beer, you get the point.

Apparently this is the only town in the U.S. that has pothole repair people because my town has huge creators in the middle of every street

Have you see the video “slacking on the job”, sound interesting . Love these actors .. especially when they’re not the actual worker

India requires this type of initiative

No wander why they don't last should cut a box section and fill that with macadam instead of just filling it

I have an aunt from Minnesota and I LOVE the accent. Rain and Snoooow

Great job

We need this in Chicago

These guys have no idea how to fix a pothole. I am ashamed and shocked.

They need to come to Britain

So crazy all the sterling trucks hard at work, you can't get anymore...

"This mix is not really good mix" ...brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood taxpayers who didn't get to pick the RIGHT mix.

Awesome video.

Come to Barbados and do that 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

3 man job haha govt work.

5:01 my guy sprays half the street with tack LOL, also these arent even close to pot holes.... i was looking for at least half a foot deep and 2 feet wide

7:53 7:54 the way he said snow, I knew it was Minnesota.

Good video & nice neighborhood

1:17 lol. The guy is like “this is a Samsung tablet.... not an iPad.”

Rubbish job won't last 5 minutes.

Thanks

i love this

Hahahaha I love the way these guys talk

"we try our hardest" lmfao

What am I doing with my life...

The UK is the most scandalous at road works scams

Build the road the right way the first time

You guys are so nice

I searched for a video that I thought couldn't possibly have angry comments. let me get the popcorn

Interesting approach to filling a pothole but doing it the way shown is only a very short term fix. If you look carefully at the road surface you will see previous patched areas, surrounded by degraded surface, which will crack away. This creates an "island" patched of previously repaired road. You need to cut back to a solid edge and then tack and fill.

Legend has it soon after this video they dug it right out

Is that enough to repair cracks and holes? I saw this small vibration machines on sidewalks, but on roads only big and heavy roller machines or a bit smaller rollers.

6:00.. "you mean I'm doing the work of 3 guys?" When you got a city job!

Great job come to my city they fill pot holes in the middle od winter thats how bad it gets

Man! This show is awesome! I am ashamed on how in Russian cities and villages the repair is made :( I would like to work like you! Too bad Russian TV has no similar shows where you can see different job opportunities which correspond to highest standards of XXI century!

gotta flat shovel the edges down to the original asphalt then pack, it makes it so there is no bump when you drive over it

Make a rectangle of asphalt over the pothole so the cracks around old pothole forms a new one

Should see the roads in Maine. New roads here usually need patch work within 2/3 years MAX. At 10 years, it's basically gravel. Lol (Some roads do last though. Not many, but some. )

Looks fun

this Is how u fill and fix a pot hole wayne county take notes u guys should do it like this.

This guy should be fired

I like this video

That first one has gotta be one of the crappiest pothole repair jobs I’ve ever seen.

Wow If only the council bought one of these then maybe they would fill the pot hole on my street that’s been there since 1958

We saw cut our potholes to make square patches.

Doing a job this poorly just supports their job security. What a joke !

sealing is most important. tar on top, then sand.

Hi, can you please provide a link t o that app please?

This type of repair? I think it would hold better with duct tape or newspaper over it.

I wonder why they don’t activate the rear light bar

Come to Cleveland; you'll be a millionaire after a few months of filling potholes lmaoo

No safety glasses...that will come out very quickly as no side wall bonding.. 3/6 months max needs a saw cut and primer to really bond the material...this is a basic repair and he will be returning very soon to repair again.

Where I live it is just put asphalt in the hole, it’s a one person job under 10 seconds

220 Is way too cold to be hot mix lol hot mix is normally around 290-350

Carl ain't filled a pot hole since last promotion lol

Lol typical job done by a city crew,that pot hole will return in no time you guys so be Ashamed of that workmanship..

I don’t even think we have pit hole repairs in the UK

not every tablet is an ipad...

Is there a special University you have to attend for four years to qualify for a job like that?

...must admit...a patch is all it is but agree doing it properly wouldn't take much more time...says it all when the novice does just as good a job as the skilled worker...

Edina I thought it was 'a diner' 😂

It would be a greater city if the roads were built properly in the first place.

someone should show this to TxDOT...

Hi I'm Carl and I'm from Minnesooooooota

that looks like half ass work..

Wgsy the name of that kinda work... also it looks chill

I don’t understand... can’t they make potholes the same height as the road? But yet, there taller, which means even more bumps :/

When it's not an iPad

No initial depth so consequently, not enough volume. Probably will last less than 5 minutes!

Why does that thing have a radioactive sign on it

I subscribed

Hey I have so many pot holes where I live so these guys don't do there job cuz I've lived here for seven years an those potholes havnt being fixt

There’s no way all those leaves where in that pothole meanwhile the street was clear of leaves

If u watch "Dent" Short film then u will understand thr importance !!

Never seen any pothole worker actually do there job ever, and most don’t in all honesty if you look up investigations and such

When u fix allogatoring u either have to use alligator crack filler or excavate are and the area and patch it

Thats not an iPad....

Come to West plains mo

That first pothole won’t last past the first winter. You need to cut the hole out into a square and fill it that way and than tar the edges after dampening it down..

Exactly how Canadian is Carl?

He is not a luteman with his front hand backwards

OMG ! Are we still living in 1950's ? No wonder after they filled it, it came back after 3 weeks ! Can they learn from other countries ?

come to Barbados now please 😊😂

Hahahaha this pothole is a joke. That would qualify as smooth where I am from (before the patch)

Did you see that! 2:49 only 5 leaves on the entire ground... and they were all in the pothole!
