It's nice to see a man who prides himself in providing quality finished product.
Agreed! Respect!
Do it right the first time. Loved working for guys like him.
Bill you are 100% right with the way you’re going about that job. Some engineers don’t have a clue where they’re standing on.
Sad but true! Thank you!
My opinion as an asphalt paver in northeast Ohio. I think your plan is spot on and we would do that job very similar. One thing our company pushes is using full limestone for our asphalt because in our region natural gravels have soft sandstone that crumble very quickly after laying which allows water infiltration into the surface. And the limestone is hard all the way through. Another oversight on that job is when they initially laid it they should of used an asphalt that has binder sized aggregate but has a higher asphalt cement content that is similar to top coat. This allows it to stay open longer than traditional binder odot spec is 448 type 2 for that material. As always great videos and keep them coming. And let the asphalt playoffs begin for the fall
Playoff Time!
Hey, been following you guys for close to a year and just wanted to say I love your content. Just graduated high school and decided to avoid the college route with that same mentality of "knowing your s**t because you've done it". Moved from Miami to San Francisco to start my own journey through the asphalt and aggregates industry with an ultimate dream of owning a plant and quarry. (just started my apprenticeship as an asphalt plant engineer) I was raised in this industry with my father owning a successful cold patch company, and thoroughly understand that upbringing of starting the hard work young.
One thing I want to know is what American pavement is doing to attract the younger generation? It definitely seems like there's this stigma surrounding hard work, and as being part of that younger gen I'm interested in what your outlook on newer and younger labor is. Obviously, your content is a huge step forward in that direction.
Absolutely love what you do in regards to content production, and hope that you never stop!!
Best,
Christian
You guys are number 1 them engineers are all the same there’s a lot of guys like them that are all book smart but don’t have any field experience that families like yours and mine have gotten for generations to come! Keep up the work baby family owned and operated for the win!
Let's Go!! Thank you.
Really great video! I'm a dirt guy so it's really helpful to have someone walk me through the process of looking at an asphalt job. I had no idea how much complexity goes into putting down a solid mat. Great work!
Bill I grew up just down the road. We used to hunt and ride motorcycles through that area.
It is refreshing to see a true professional at work.
I haven’t hauled or dealt with asphalt for quite a few years now here in Virginia and I can say that I don’t miss it, but you all know what you’re talking about and doing and it looks like you do great work. Not to mention that your equipment looks top notch! Taking pride in your equipment! I literally cringed when I seen that tack truck backed up in front of that truck and started spraying. 😬 Flashbacks from when I hauled blacktop popped up and the agony of having to clean tack off my truck and wheels came to mind 😢. Love watching your videos even though I no longer haul blacktop (I’ve been hauling sand and stone to various asphalt and concrete plants for the past 5 years) I still enjoy what goes into getting these jobs done. Happy New Year and much success to you all in 2022!
I loved every second of this, keep slaying !
Learned more about asphalt in 25 min than my entire life. But I’m not a asphalt guy. Keep up the good work
As a diesel and ag mechanic this is super fascinating and I'm able to learn a lot. Yall seem super cool, productive and most importantly very knowledgeable. Thanks for making some super fun videos! We should see more of the "behind the scenes" stuff
These are episodes i can rewatch 3-4 times..
These are professionals. Thanks for sharing. Be safe in 2022
It's good to see a company really care. Good job fellas! 👍
I'm an asphalter in Australia and in my opinion I think you are absolutely 100% correct with the work that you are doing and your team is legit 👍🏻🙏🏻
You are 100% correct my friend I work for Northeast Paving in Bangor, Maine we do the same thing only difference is we do primarily State & Municipal Roadways and Highways
Really takes a lot of experience to run this company. The crew and equipment. Beautiful equipment, well maintained, pride in workmanship. Way to go Stanley family.
Something you may or may not have interest in, but can be good money, is guest lecturing at universities. The easiest time to teach someone is before they think they are always right. My university brought in 3 or 4 guys with actual industry experience a year. Being 7 years out I can fully acknowledge what those 12 x 2 hour lectures have been more impactful and helpful in my career as an engineer than 90% of the other lectures I sat through.
Taught at a Big Ten University for 20 years. Made it a point to always bring in competent professionals as guest lecturers to set the record straight about how the real world works. Great content.
How don’t you guys have a million subscribers? Quality and information is amazing
Your guys videos are the shit love to watch them all, you guys do a great job. I’ve been running the screed now for 3 years started from not knowing a thing about asphalt 6 years ago. I don’t want to say anything because your guys work looks amazing but a little tip that I’ve found is that on the first pass if you drop your end gate completely to the ground it will create a square edge because your mix won’t be running under the end gate causing a slight rolled edge this helps a ton when you come with your second pass to match the joint you will find the joint is way easier to match especially if you’re matching the joint on the next day of paving with a cold joint it comes out beautiful let me know what you guys think. keep up the great work you guys are bad asses
I love your company your way to setup and prep to have a soft and smooth surface paving for this project another excelent and beautiful job
I have felt that pain so many times, the fighting sucks! engineers, inspectors, owners, homeowners😩. It doesn’t make sense that people with no actual experience get so much power over how a paving job is done. I would love to come pave with you guys for the playoffs! Keep up the good fight for all of us!!
Yes, it's a big problem in our industry! We will forsake keep it up! Thanks for the feedback.
What a great personality to have as a business owner and leader!
Love the video. I’m an estimator for an asphalt company in California. I’m 21 years old and love my job. Keep going into details on the work and day to day stuff, very interesting 👍🏼
You got it! Thanks for the feedback.
This is A 1 entertainment. Great work guys !
This is why i dont trust who builds our roads and inspect them. Nice job! this is what we need more of. You are really good at what you do, and you seem very humble.
Love to watch you guys I do paving in the Bahamas
Beautiful work and an even better crew/company!
I always like that half a day joke, because it’s relatable.
Very well filmed/edited. Good job A+
Hats off to your cleaning crew! Well done!
Profiling with the grinder is a lot better than doing small patches. Different color/patched up road is so ugly. So much respect for you & your guys. Showing pride to what you do.
Well they are obviously overlaying it with surface but they binder needs to be taken care of first. The patches wouldn’t be a final product
Bubba you know you're asphalt good job explaining it. Got 22 years in it myself.
You guys r first class, awesome job !
Thank you!
Same here in Germany. Nice work.
Do you prime or tack coat? In Chicago its a must, resurface, patch edges, gravel , etc... Love what you guys do, Pride, and do it right mentality. Absolute correct on all your opinions and knowledge. keep up the great work! We are a family business also three brothers with with a 100 years experience combined. And we get along!
If they don’t put tack down it’ll just people up if there’s a hard freeze so I’d hope they do
I never realized how much it was to pave a road
Love the attitude.....$300 to clean $200.....if you look like a winner, you'll play like a winner....I'd work for you anyday!
Love it great job guys great looking company
Definitely respectable crew...!!!!!
Thank you!
Great video fellas!
Generations of experience right there!
Comes with those Greys!
Love the videos
Definitely better solution to repair with the mill and a level up as opposed to patches. Binder usually has 40% RAP and can oxidize easy but still be a quality product. Letting it sit for years while they build the development can cause cracking. A job well done.
Agreed! Thank you very much.
Amazing job
I would love to be able to come down to the pavement expo in Charlotte
That's right! 👍
Yes
Lol. Spot on. This is exactly what we would be doing. Engineers think they know more than you because they read a book on how it works. 😂🤡 nothing beats multi generational experience that Companys like ours have. It’s becoming more rare. I always say about engineers is “everything is flat on paper” but out here in the real world it don’t work that way
Always looks good on paper! lol Thanks for the feedback.
If budget would allow I would probably bring in a road reclaimer and milling machine
Is the curb the Belgian Block? Don't see that hardly here in Canada. I think it looks great, see it used in the U.S quite a bit. Up here is pretty much slip form curb machine everywhere. The block has a classic look.
The mix looks real good to👍
Thank you!
Awesome.
Thank you
Great video
This is the kind of bullshit I have had to deal with for years now please excuse my language but lord knows it’s true and even though you’re the professional who has all this experience they pull up with boots on and brown pants and sunglasses and think that they invented asphalt and you’re a skippy god bless em is all I can say.. also I give you guys a 10 out of 10! I can only hope to be as successful and clean and professional as you guys one day!
Chip and seal with help to stop refelctive cracking
Mr Bill, is there any vacancy for Quantity Surveyor? you guys are cool!
Im a welder / fabricator and know absolutely nothing But i do know one thing You never argue with the guy that does it everydy over a engineer most of them are just " In theory this will work" because they've never actually done the WORK ! On abother note down here in florida millings are running 950 - 1200 for a 20 yard truck !
Looks like you guys do a awesome job, really put alot of other paving companies to shame. Experience is always best, not people who sit behind the desk all day calling shots.
Thank very much, 100% agreed!
What state are you guys in? I like your work it actually hard to fine company’s that do comparable quality of work to the company I work for.
1 question I have is how many different companies besides you guys dose a town use to get everything rolling on a project
Grind headers, then clean and put down a single layer of chip and seal...then heavy prelevel and pave a total of 2inches of wearing course...thats what id do
That's a good idea as well.
omg sounds like the job we're on... working for an hoa have to mill and fix water spots that have been there for yrs...lol love the paint marks just wondering why no chalk marks on curb? we do that just to keep it true, Not saying you arent, maybe your box has that setting. Love the Petes, never saw a trailer with a walking floor used for top thats neat. yea some engineers do have the heads up their asses, yep works on paper. working for toll brothers if they would have for someone to right in the first place but ALWAYS cheaper.... pocket the money knowing you are good at what you do, not many would take the time.
95% or better for compaction????????????? You guys must have diferent ingredients in your asphalt mix than us. Awsome video.
Never gets old "The Pavey Seals" lol
🔥🔥🔥
How far into New York do you guys go??
I gree with you bother and im only a concrete contractor.
When you put the pavement down, it’s 250 to 350°, then it cools off and shrinks now it’s already under stress from shrinking as it cools now it’s just begging to crack somewhere. Then the summer sun hits it every summer, the evaporating the tar audibly asphalt. Further shrinking it then it cracks. That’s why the cracks get wider and wider . I don’t care how you pave it , it will crack . Unless, of course, money was no object. Of course then you would never get the job in the first place.
No kidding...
You have great ideers!
Why do you wear one boot with white paint and one boot with orange paint?
Does it help walkability over the pavement?
You guys run many "amish" pavers out of town?. The used to be in my area all the time, saying they had extra asphalt. And offer to do your driveway cheap and PDQ..
Damn dad! You gotta scrub them hands! Haha kidding. If your hand aren’t dirty you aren’t workin!
Doing emails today? No I’m the computer guy so I’m doing emails. Lol
Why wouldn’t the engineer order core sampling for the road to determine the cause of the cracks? A $5000 sampling bill is a lot cheaper than replacing all of the asphalt
Holy shit this dude is awesome!
How do you guys clean tac off cones?
Laquer thinner
you do the german way, in germany we try to make the street as duarable as possible
So its been two years were the engineers right about it falling apart ? Or was the Stanley man correct
Your dad is awesome
I know you find it to be a head ache, but i respect toll brothers to ensure their customers their getting top quality
We have nothing but respect for American Pavement , if people even had a clue what it takes to get to that level let alone run a business of that size and what all goes into it.
I’m a small concrete business Absolutely killing it just not sure what I should do for management and secretary
Id love to see the behind the scenes
Who does his estimates, in person quotes, billing all that bts
I work in asphalt also and some of the dumbest things I've seen and heard and asked ,came from ( engineers) lol
Them engine ears is the best, ask em.
Top notch paving right there 👍
Thank You!
I want to work for you now. I trust you 100%
U can tell alot about a company on how there equipment looks, it sales it self. Another thing is that just because u put it down , u have to maintain it. When I saw ur oil spreader ( awesome) , peace of art.
Appreciate it! Agreed!
Now that ur or will be in the new yard like a walk around tuor of the yard , and the equipment it ,takes to prepare and lay it down ?
No replacement for experience
I love when engineers that never held a tool tey and tell the guys that do the work how to do their job lol.
Who approved of this original design in this area? No curb and gutter so steel sits in the pavement, and engineers still getting hard ons for detail 7 surface crack repairs lol. Getting rid of one joint to create two. Makes no sense. I was a construction inspector for years and finally had to quit because of the politics in deciding whether or not contractors were right or wrong. Common sense gets in the way of the DoT spec book and higher ups don’t like that. When you can profile mill a road to smooth and erase the surface cracks than fill with one 2” lift it’s a thing of beauty. You are completely in the right.
mind blowing show
1 1/4in finish product
The majority of engineers are chancers think they know put realistic they haven't a clue , top job guy's just started watching ye're videos, from Westport Co Mayo Ireland
Love u videos love u guys don’t know ya bud guys some hard ass workers boss man kool as fuck
Nothing defines work quite like laying pavement in hot and humid weather.
You gin Romney?
TAXXXXING lol
Engineers have that paper Degree they know it all
My OCD approves
As a DOT inspector, Not a lot of contractors work like you guys. A lot of them do shitty work and act like they know what they are doing.
11:41. I'm not an engineer but even a blind man can see how horrible that mix is! I did concrete work and stones aren't allowed!
