Reminds me of when i was #1 performer on both shifts in my warehouse for 4 months straight by 30-40% productivity i was getting free shit every day clothes food bonuses money towards their merchandise, i got employee of the month twice and a badge to wear that they hadnt awarded anyone in years called the unsung hero, then one day my body gave out and i mentally was not willing to do it anymore after about a year, and my % wasnt where it needed to be, they told me if my % doesnt go back up i was 2 weeks from being canned so i walked out, i bled, borderline foamed at the mouth for that company, i still have a black toenail from someone lowering a pallet onto my foot while i was placing a 160lb waterheater, and all it took was my % dropping for them to completely forget about everything i had ever done for thr company
YOu created too high of an expectation. You should have performed from the beginning at a rate that you could continue. In their eyes you were a good worker until you started smoking crack.
@charleshill506 the fact that I was at 140% has nothing to do with anything, because the required 100% for not getting fired is still too much for a human body, u obviously have no clue because you're a taco bell/walmart worker, stay in ur lane cupcake
@@marcz239no he is right, i worked in a workshop for 2 years and in construction for 3 years now, you are just a number to them. Sure they will make you feel special by giving you small gifts and giving you compliments in front of everybody but at the end once you are gonna be broken they will just swap you for the next young guy who is ready to burn himself for them. You did push yourself to the limit raisins the standards as if hard work was normal work an all the old heads knew you wouldnt last long. Now the boss is unhappy because he is losing something he took for granted. (Your performance) People dont like to lose things so be carefull what you give because you cant take it back... its never too good to be at the top or the bottom, you want to be in the sweet Middle.
@@marcz239 You could not be more wrong. I can't help it if the truth hurts. If you start out giving 110% and you burn out in a year how is that the right way. It is better to give 98% so that each day you can recover and continue for years. I once had a job loading groceries at a distribution plant. There was a man 60 years old that had been working there for almost 40 years. He kept up with the young guys. Each person had to load 20,000 lbs or more each night. He had it right. He did just what he needed to do to get the job done and he was able to do that continually. He didn't burn out like a shooting star.
@@bswhytock why is that? To me it appears the joint is light on the material. Which would fall on the screed man. But this is normal in the first few feet when setting up the joint matcher. Can you run the cat better?
@@CantspeakableLooks fine to me. The screed is extended beyond the joint. I have seen dudes feather some into the joint, raking the larger rocks out of it. A nice fine oily powder along the edge makes for a smooth joint.
Who knows??? He has clean boots.. got AirPods in …. He is walking with 2 half shovel filled asphalt…. That whole crew is new. The CITY !!! They probably hired bunch of white anericans from some country village.
Why is everybody such a critic? I'm 100% that you've made something that someone else would consider trash. Humble yourself big boy. I guarantee your one of the loudest men in every room your in.
@ronjones3977 lmfao 🤣 it's because I can clearly see the amount he is carrying as he passes by the camera that I'm saying that. You, on the other hand, are the tipe to sit in the sidelines with your arms crossed lips puckered looking all sour hateing on another man because deep down, you know you ain't shit.
I did lots of asphalt enough to see that's not asphalt shovel asphalt shovels are short with hand grip and holds more asphalt than the two shovels he has
Lmfao I can see none of yall are in the trades 🤣 😂 😭 yall want the guy to shovel asphalt with a snow shovel and carry half a yard each trip. Stop hating on the man I'm shure u macho men take the bucket of the skidsteer and use that as a shovel huh 😂😂😂. The guy is working just fine get over it
he will be joining them soon when he realizes the boss doesnt care if he can carry 20 shovels at a time. Raises are based on how long you've been at the company, not how much you can produce
Just a sec, Bud... the guys doing nothing on the side are doing exactly what they're supposed to do.. they are there for 'tag', it's a government funded job, and the gov demands that no-one works too hard, so they allow the union to force them to hire 7 guys, to do 2 guy's work.
Life of an asphalter lol, they come onto every site thinking they're the hardest workers ever, but all they do is baby the paver and cough their guts up after shift because they huff those fumes every day.
I do all the time. I know that 99% of those guys can drive and not hit anything... I can't say the same for most people without a CDL tho. And as long as you don't have music playing or it's very low volume they make great earplugs.
I grew up surrounded by asphalt worker i worked with my dad as a baby when he had his own business and then when my brother had his own business. My neither brother died i never worked on asphalt again.
Did this for ten yrs prep crew and paving crew. Sometimes on long stretches of road, it was an easy day if all went well. But there are times when paving where the shoveler or laborer and the Luteman earn every cent they make for the entire yr on one job. Also on a side note I worked with one hell of a Luteman that alone can save everyone time and energy. And of course, the guys running the paver know what they are doing if not your really screwed.
I paved and my boss made us use coal shovel basically a snow shovel, and if you didn't fill it he'd kick it out of your hands...That was a tough summer but I still love the smell of fresh asphalt...
Sounds like a boss that spends a lot of time picking his ass off the fresh asphalt because that’s where he’d end up if he kicked anything out of my hands
@@kenallred2215 I was literally 3 days out of high school when I started so I was naive and I also grew up with a father that was even worse so I just thought it was part of the culture that I was surrounded with but I didn't take that shit for long believe me and his blood was red just like mine was but that's another story right....lol
Long handled shovels are primarily for milling, if your doing asphalt get wider shovels? Better for fanning and will hold more than those two shovels combined
Yep just flick it with your wrist into the low spot and this dude got two small shovels worth which probably took longer to get then just taking one nice big scoop with one shovel
This is a example of someone doing something less efficiently but thinking they're actually doing good. You can look impressive but in reality your making the job harder than it has to be. It's about working effectively and efficiently
I the UK we have wheel barrows. Theyre a tub with a wheel at the front and 2 handles. You can put stuff inside and transport it wherever you want. You can then pick the stuff out, shovel it, or even tip it.
If you are a young person seeing this feeling some type of way about your career I cannot recommend hopping into a skilled trade like plumbing or electrical enough. You will always have a good job, anywhere you go.

People keep saying look how clean his boots are as if that means anything haven’t worked a really hard construction job. I go through a brand new pair of boots every 6 months to a year usually on the job, new boots just means it was time for the old ones to go to rest.
Everyone talking about oh you must be the new guy cause he's super clean I have never seen a dirty roadworker in my life most of them staynd there holding signs are working in machinery none of it is hard or labor-intensive work
Some of you don’t realize that they maybe did a 4 inch mill with a coarse load of asphalt going down and the driving surface later. See them do it on the highway all the time. So not the paver operator error it’s what the job entails
That's because roads can only be paved to a certain point under freezing conditions, that's why here in Canada the majoirty of roadworks are done in the summer.
These are hard-working men, they’re not soft they work hard. They play hard raise your kids their ballgames they don’t care about taxes or government. They just want to be left alone and raise your babies.

This old boy been wearing the same pair of boots since he was 10
He looks new because old heads would have thrown 2 shovels from 30' back. Carrying asphalt is definitely a new guy thing.

We call thosw Teaspoons
Need to get the No.2 coal shovels to replace them teaspoons 😂
That's literally a full one and a half one
That's 2 full length shovels 😂😂 also try it... it helps alot with heavy scoops
First day he's ever touched a shovel and hes doubled up. He's about to experience some site piss taking.
What? How do you know his past experience with shovels
That road is going to be a goddamn mess

Holy shit, very very rare video of road workers actually working!!!
Those baby shovels 😂 just use a real big asphalt shovel
If you only got those little ones best to do one trip w 2 than two trips w one
Save trips and use a paving shovel? Lol
Doing that bare handed is the craziest part
When it’s your 3rd day on the job an you feelin ya self 😂
Now why would you go 50 feet before you start bringing material
My thought exactly
The first position you get when laying asphalt
now boss is gonna expect that pace every time
Feels comfortable wearing AirPods around semis 😅
I do all the time. I know that 99% of those guys can drive and not hit anything... I can't say the same for most people without a CDL tho.
And as long as you don't have music playing or it's very low volume they make great earplugs.
I do it literally every day at work
He can see the semis
theyve got active listening and with it on your hearing is actually better than normal
I think once u know ur shit u could use earphones in most places I wear mine in a gas plant
Он никогда не видел "стахановской" лопаты.
When one of the new guys doesn't show up the other one has to pick up his shovel! 💪🏾😎
Ugh i used to occasionally help out on the asphalt side of a company i drywalled for. Def some hard work 🤙
Yes ... People Always Work Like This Who Don't Like To Take Very Less Weight ❤🎉
Like weight lifting, more reps, than injuries on over doing it quickly with too much, too soon.

@@ruffus4924it’s a grind and overlay theres only one lift…
If I'm your lute man, don't dump asphalt, spread it out. It's a lot easier to work
A shovel full???
Yep just flick it with your wrist into the low spot and this dude got two small shovels worth which probably took longer to get then just taking one nice big scoop with one shovel
Damn right it is

I worked road and bridge for almost 3 years out of high school, had fun, pretty easy job, all the olde guys didn’t do much
Love the back up shovel
Of all the jobs I did this one was the one I hated the most. Working with hot asphalt on a 90+ day was hell.
Doing twice the work for single pay bosses love that shit
This is definitely not in Georgia. There's not enough people just standing around doing nothing. Facts !!!!
my state highway department figured out how to cut costs significantly. they developed a shovel that stands up all by itself.
Hell yeah my guy, no shovel with a rock on it is takin our jobs lol 😂
They also make wheelbarrows…a lot faster if you’re that low
wheelbarrow would be a nightmare in this scenario. that spreader never stops, no time to fill it.
Cleanest tarmackers I ever seen
People who honk or say wassup or acknowledge us blue collar workers are awesome 😎
Bro what are those baby shovels?!?!? 😭, y’all gonna be there all day
just wait until he notices the boss doesnt care how hard you work, its literally based on how long you have been at the company
Hold it over the work area your getting it everywhere damn it !!
-my boss
That's.. Surprisingly effective
Are there double ended shovels? If not, new tool idea
Man, we just started our season and we are already going 10+ hours a day strong.
When I first started construction they had a asphalt shovel that was 3 times as large with short handle .
When the racker asks for two tea spoons
Absolutely don’t miss that

First time in all my life of shoveling ever seen that
Man walking along the wagon hot tiring work give this guy cold 64 ounce blueberry slushy he deserves it!
The stickerless hard hat says enough
3d print a device to hold as many of those shovels together as you can carry, and enlarged spark plug organiser so to say
Could get more on a full shovel

They pave the road in summer yet they think about not paving in winter. Summers the most busiest time.

Hello, success to you, work invigorates the soul, I wish you success in your work 😊
