“ We still think that the asphalt market will be strong again in most markets for 2024 .”

We still think that the asphalt market will be strong again in most markets for 2024 . Hopefully , all of you had a super winter of selling new jobs and promoting your businesses to new customers and markets in your area . Some of you might be interested in starting in a new section for your market in 2024 , like striping , sweeping , potholes , seal coating , excavation , curbing or maybe even hauling material for other companies via trucking . Whichever direction you plan to go in 2024 , we wish you all the very best in starting something new and growing your business . Our industry is a tough one , and it ’ s not an easy life during the season . Sometimes we have 14 , 16-to-18-hour days , dealing with weather , employee issues , machine issues , and the stress of running a top-notch business , it ’ s not easy . Hats off to all of you for being in this industry . It ’ s very tough and very rewarding at the same time . If we can ask for one thing in 2024 , safety first , make it your top priority with all of your team and crew . Looking forward to the smell of asphalt again this spring on job sites all over the U . S . and Canada .
