You were even there in the good ole' days with the real good ole' boys. Guess you are mad that they aren't around now to call you and give you simple jobs at the cost of the taxpayers. If you have all these questions, why don't you call and find out. I don't believe that it runs on propane and pretty sure that asphalt millings aren't any more costly to load than cold patch. Guess you somehow think that the plants stay open all year and that the hotmix will somehow stay warm in the back of a truck during colder months to patch holes. Oh...and what about tack? Isn't that a tack applicator that I see on the unit? Looks like a good idea to me if you want to get away from worthless and costly cold patch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-63541616356308337472013-09-29T22:11:27.872-04:002013-09-29T22:11:27.872-04:00They are paying their employees anyway.

The raw materials have to be loaded somehow and it has to be towed to the site.How many batches must be produced just to cover the cost of the piece of equipment ? Then there is maintenance on the equipment itself. Do the math and see if it really is cost effective versus purchasing hot mix from the batch plant. But then again it does look good in the paper the only thing missing is 3 or 4 more employees to shovel the finished product outTim churchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-2363024520871966392013-09-29T20:36:03.886-04:002013-09-29T20:36:03.886-04:00paving co's can do driveways and parking lot, ...paving co's can do driveways and parking lot, IF they lower their prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-71579408228291443832013-09-29T16:56:29.090-04:002013-09-29T16:56:29.090-04:00I guess they want to close up the rest of the smal...I guess they want to close up the rest of the small paving businesses in the area so they can keep more money for themselves as in pay raises and expand county payroll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-60685183767126691612013-09-29T12:07:37.672-04:002013-09-29T12:07:37.672-04:00It looks like they could use more newer Yellow sle...It looks like they could use more newer Yellow sleepers to haul stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-53424547421240465312013-09-29T11:00:47.215-04:002013-09-29T11:00:47.215-04:00Can give them a list of roads to start on.
