ARE YOU READY to Start the 2024 Paving Season ?

I f the groundhog in northwestern Pennsylvania was correct this year , the paving season will be starting early . For most of us that live in the northern United States and Canada , it ’ s already been a quite a long winter . Hopefully by this time of the year you and your team are ready to start smelling that hot asphalt again . This year ’ s PaveX show was a good way to spend the off season , learning new skills and techniques and meeting up with old and new friends from our industry . I ’ m sure most of you will be doing the same thing at this year ’ s World of Asphalt show in Nashville , Tennessee this month . Hopefully you all got to take a nice vacation somewhere as well , to relax and recharge your batteries for the upcoming season . Winter was also a good time to go through all your machines from your paver to your rollers , skid steers , trailers and trucks and hand tools . A little winter maintenance and cleaning of your equipment will go a long way in helping you and your crew make it through the 2024 paving season . If you haven ’ t yet , this is a good time to rely on your equipment and truck dealerships for their expertise in going through and evaluating all your machines for the proper repairs needed for a successful 2024 out in the field . Also , you should take some time to think of your company image and branding during the winter months . Is it time to repaint a machine or put new company logo decals on
