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?

[@joez8914]

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

[@Hanky03]

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

[@ryanfrogz]

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

[@gaskan666]

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.

[@vincealince_SRT]

Isn’t that Detroit... you must watch a lot of KZbin....

[@callips9550]

@gaskan666 WTF I work for the street maintenance service in Germnay and we do nothing as well, maby cutting some gras then do nothing drink some coffe have a lunch, then break time and im done for the day XD

[@therealreeofficial]

Omg. I used to work for cdot, and all that happens is: 1. Wait for Call 2. Look at whatever happened 3. Fix it 4. Get beer, get hot dogs, and nap

[@lebrunjemz6018]

You didn't put out the safety cones

[@c.i.a5851]

Lebrun Jemz you are correct he has about 7 cones on the truck

[@danmcfee1043]

They didn't need it they had safety lights on

[@lewisgaming1399]

[@towtruckaj]

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

[@dr.jellyfinger8132]

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

[@calidream9273]

If it's done correctly with hot mix it should last forsure more than a year, I've seen some Public works use a cold mix which fails very fast especially in a very wet environment

[@jessiesineath7702]

@@calidream9273 Yeah I work in public works in the midwest. Hot asphalt is the standard but the cold mix crap is used for a temporary fix during the winter. If we load the cold mix in a pro patcher truck like the one used here and actually get the mix hot it does pretty decent if you tamp it down really well like he does here. If you use a hand tamper odds out the hole will be back the next day.

[@royalt3690]

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.

[@jtmnavy]

Lmao at all the removed comments

[@ehgoksor]

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

[@LegalAmerican4]

You'll get over it

[@kirara4953]

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.

[@contemplativecorinne8018]

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

[@m1n1moto1]

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

[@brunofunnie]

Yeah, agreed, but all in all it extends the asphalt overall life. As the company name says, it's a "patch", later on (10 year later) the idea is resurface the whole track or street. And that patch is small and shallow, here in the "wonderful" city of Manaus at this "amazing" country called Brazil we have huge gaps and deep holes, that are patched the same way. Our mayor likes to play whack-a-hole with potholes :P

[@wetlettuce4768]

So true got a lovely pothole that was patched just a few weeks ago and you guessed it all the patch material is gone and the hole is back. Sad thing is the road was only completely relaid 6 months ago..

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.

[@dinoraf]

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

[@a.1948]

DinoRaf RBLX He did that to prevent it from getting bigger

[@Eginhardt]

the first guy at 3:40 barely even put a dot of tar down

[@milesvernon6295]

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

[@reelfishing002]

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

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

[@josefigueroa4012]

Good video & nice neighborhood

[@qwanom]

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.

[@jaysoddfutr1136]

Hahahaha I love the way these guys talk

[@andresreyes5398]

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

[@optimusprimo2012]

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

[@FlightPlanAviation]

optimusprimo2012 flex tape or flex glue

[@ilikenumbers2085]

Looks fun

[@reignofchaos6463]

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

[@p60fb]

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.

[@artman102]

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

[@qwanom]

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!

[@armanke13]

Thanks

[@abelcerrillo2162]

that looks like half ass work..

[@stolen_grandma4499]

Abel Cerrillo 😂😬

[@wallybrolly3393]

...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...

[@gregoutcalt6773]

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

[@juliah4117]

The UK is the most scandalous at road works scams

[@TheFilmMixer101]

i love this

[@ryleywhite6857]

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

[@Huntorix]

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

[@SaclunchGsus]

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

[@davidzen7971]

Build the road the right way the first time

[@gove8722]

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

[@DanB95]

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. )

[@chasam1234]

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.

[@noahstevens6179]

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

[@lauraallen7942]

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

[@tallstakz356]

We saw cut our potholes to make square patches.

[@walmart5523]

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

[@djhotpocket869]

You guys are so nice

[@rhecxx6941]

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

[@onepunchman4481]

Edina I thought it was 'a diner' 😂

[@mustanger041]

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

[@bradleychilds4387]

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

[@C4ernarvon]

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

[@Bluedog5581]

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

[@zilch7116]

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

[@user-cy2iq1gl1t]

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

[@evanramos1900]

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

[@jllmmjj]

someone should show this to TxDOT...

[@carreon36]

John L someone should show this to Corpus Christi, lol

[@droldsw31]

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

[@nowucme5221]

mit trades school

[@cholder777]

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

[@krispykremeking2329]

Stop the cheap patches and fix the damn roads!

[@Youngsoldier93]

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

[@another1397]

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

[@mattsprayberry0]

His a city manager who don't know how to fix a pothole REALLY

[@royalt3690]

That is the basic procedure. How do you do it? Or do you not do it?

[@jonathanschultz2472]

by where I live they just drive by fill it with hot ass and leave

[@cal28kim]

I drive a JCB 3CX 4Ti over 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING with tarmac gang's we CAN do 70 tonnes a day dug off and 50 tonnes of bass DOWN. Never saw cut the patch it will just push out. Spraying tack coat on BROKEN bass and banging some hot roll OVER it it will get you on BBC ROGUE TREADERS 😂

[@Thatjewnick]

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..

[@clippercv3802]

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

[@jamescampbell7780]

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