this kinda hit hard - "my boss would take the last of his lunch money to get me shining equipment". i don't know what that means to you out there, but i heard that my boss will spend his last dollar to make sure i have work to get paid. he's taking care of his employees over stuffing the overhead in his pocket. sounds like you got a great company there, a good boss.

[@AmericanPavement]

Thank you very much!

[@MrEmergency4]

Love the energy from the guy who takes pride in cleaning the kit. If you love what you do, even the longest jobs become easy.

[@AmericanPavement]

Roger that. Thank you!

[@cashking8056]

[@AnarchyEnsues]

I work for a major asphalt company in Australia, our yard is full of bird baths from all the mix trials we do in the yard.

[@idetail-tx5592]

I saw a video that popped up on my feed! What got me to stay is how clean (detailed) the work trucks look. Clean truck clean job that simple try Mark V (showroom finish) pink gallon, dilute 50/50 with clean water. Shines the same and last alot longer just alil pro tip! Keep up the sick as videos

[@thunderbear0]

6:04 never seen something like that before this piece of equipment is amazing

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

Don’t forget security cameras . Congrats on your new shop .

[@dieselnate5901]

Just found your channel this video makes me excited for spring

[@AmericanPavement]

Thank you bud!

[@fundsfordad]

AWESOME !!!

[@guyonabuffalo100]

Good boss there, covered rollers. I love it.

[@zachgarretson572]

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. I know on this particular job there isn’t a big need to drop the end gate because all the joints are hot but definitely try it on your roadway work you won’t regret it! keep up the great work you guys are bad asses

[@AmericanPavement]

Yes that works well in some applications. Thank you for the kind words.

[@edsturgeon5219]

You guys need a reality show or do a you tube show like Bobby Goodson all terrain logging....awesome job keep up they great work!

[@danielstock658]

Awesome videos. I’m interested to know what other products you guys use to keep all your equipment clean? (Tire shine etc)

[@GoldsConcrete]

Now that's a lot of paving ! We have a similar scale job coming up with flatwork we hope to record !

[@AmericanPavement]

Awesome good luck

[@GoldsConcrete]

@@AmericanPavement Thank you ! We're gonna need that luck in this industry haha

[@jeff7764]

[@wildbill1833]

Cool trucks

[@douglasgrosjean4037]

I found you on Tik-Tok so I decided to subscribe to your KZbin channel I like watching these change the videos

[@JohnnyLally]

I just went on to the A site and ordered a case of that Speed Shine wax.

[@AmericanPavement]

We have our own line coming out soon!

[@justinsmith1771]

What do you guys use to keep asphalt sticking to machines and for cleanup after?

[@csx5197]

What mix did you guys use? We like to suggest 19mm w/ Polymer and call it "cheap concrete"

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

With all that heavy equipment I would've put concrete

[@Nathan-cv6sm]

Can anyone say why you want to break the surface before laying down? isn't it good if its super compacted?

[@drewmurphy2796]

Curious. What’s the cost of binder vs topcoat?

[@mikedz4702]

We pave base in the rain every year

[@anthonymontano4846]

Can you show more on the reclaimer

[@pavelkolp]

What the thickness of the blacktop?

[@lolMyke]

Any update anytime soon?

[@larryandersin6535]

Save the Asphalt spray reclamation on it lasts 2 to 3 times the amount of asphalt normally does research it you just want paid to lay down new asphalt understandable but not too green

[@peygoodrich3741]

Did y’all get the concrete down on the side of the building yet

[@AmericanPavement]

Yes, still waiting on fuel tanks!

[@mikedz4702]

I’ve never seen paver operators only pave from driver side there’s two seats for a reason.

[@paintplanet9818]

Waiting for new content

[@patrickquerry5768]

where are you guys out of? have you ever thought about expanding into pipe/ earthworks?

[@AmericanPavement]

We’ve thought about it. But we don’t want to be in competition with our good customers!

[@AmericanPavement]

Danbury, CT.

[@artyweaver7093]

kamco supply did all your metal studs and sheetrock

[@Josie993]

I lay ask for Eldridge paving

[@gliderider7077]

I wish someone would make a candle or car freshener of fresh asphalt!

[@AmericanPavement]

Noted!

[@dieselphiend]

Do most video editors have tiny speakers?

[@pavelkolp]

What did you guys pay per sq/ft of blacktop?

[@jonnemeth7585]

You should also show your crew by surprise them with a man cave with a pit for BBQ MONSTER DRINKS and have a employee of the week

[@Treasures776]

You should show more video of actually working

[@engine225]

Where r u located

[@garylumet5158]

Where is the vogele paver ?? :)))

[@bnjmnwtt]

Seems awfully cold to be putting down asphalt. Should’ve used concrete, it’ll last longer and your joints won’t crack like asphalt. I despise all roads that break out on the center line because of the cold joint.

[@MyTradesmen]

why would an aspahlt company pay a concrete company to put in a parking lot for them at their biz lol

[@bccev770]

Italians!?!

[@rustyshakleford5230]

Why does the DEF have to be inside? Is that a local code or an insurance thing?

[@BOBCAT2001ify]

DEF Freezes. Not sure if it’s anything beyond that factor. All it is made up of is Urea & Water.

[@jackstanley5595]

We keep it inside because we were told that the heat will cause it to crystallize

[@bankzoz8871]

I m from Albuquerque NM and this city and state are soooooooooooo corrupt I can't imagine working for a good company like that, Ive done asphalt and the foreman and company were shit, didn't take care of anything but themselves, NM is a corrupt state.... God bless

[@yunusali8030]

Sir. i am paving operator. tell me if needed

[@NzRasengan]

I'd be wearing a mask personally.

[@gk6523]

Sir I am asplant opretor 10 year experience in India

[@leonk.1031]

Nice equipment, but that grader/ loader is just so ugly

[@Africanfrogs]

Looks like an amateur job, been doing asphalt 39 years and see nothing but mistakes

[@dannypalmer7701]

Cant stand music.

[@stueyexmcfd]

@americanpavement what is the music choice 😊

[@blake3646]

Nice work,,,your equipment is some of the cleanest I've ever seen,,...👌👌🦺💪
