I paved for 37 seasons, 12 in my own business. You are a good man, your comments at the end of this video makes you a man of means. Mean what you say, say what you mean. For me it was always about ease of operation, making it better for the men and job quality. Also it was always about letting the people know thier worth, that we aren't unskilled labor. People just don't know what it takes to make blacktop look like that. the truck is a work of art, if only we had that as young men in the trade
Small world. I drove by Trout River Industries while in Prince Edward Island visiting my brother and lots of family this past summer. Great to see Canadian and American businesses working together!! Love how much pride and care is taken in your equipment. It is shown in your end product. Keep up great work!!
That new truck is awesome, and it just spoke for itself on why it has its own place on any jobsite. The company I work with is based out of Illinois and Missouri and is significantly smaller operations than this, but we still have early 90's model international dump trucks that we use every day, and it truly is eye opening seeing these videos about how far the industry has come.
As with auto production, a lot of ideas come from backyard customizers. This is a prime example of ideas from "them that's doing". I seen the trucks in the shop tour and thought how sharp they looked. You may want to park #2 in the living room, just so you can look and say "this is our idea", I can't believe we did this" perfect example of spending a buck to make a buck. Reinvest into your company. Make it grow. A life's work your sons will be proud to carry on. Thanks for the intro to the new addition of tools you use everyday.
Damn man. You guys just changed the entire dump truck industry. I don’t have the slightest clue about the paving industry, but man that looks like a slick truck to operate.
A lot of people talk about first impressions. That first "walk-up impression" can set the tone with a new potential customer. There's always competition and a clean, sharp appearance is an easy first step. These guys are ahead of that game!
Not to be a partypooper or anything, but that kind of equipment have been available for years, espescially in Norway and Sweden😅 The "arm" we call Sprider, it’s a company from Sweden that makes them. And the belt driven feeder we call "Redriver". Not to take anything away from you guys, cause this is awesome
I've been watching APS for about 2 years now. I dream about working for a Bossman and company like this. So much pride in their work, it's hard to not get jealous! Keep changing the industry Boss!
Got a name for the attachment.. “ Augerator”. Love this kind of stuff. We use custom installations equipment for restaurant pieces, so I get labor savings..😉👍
I am just an old retired electrician but I am really impressed with your design of the designed asphalt delivery system and anger. I am also impressed with your choice of equipment builder. They did a great job of building an end product that will make your work easier and allow you to show a larger profit. In today's market, that is a must to stay productive and be ready for your next projects. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, your family, and your employees.
Awesome design! You could potentially solve the auger reach issue with a secondary auger that folds up to still keep the machine compact. Similar to a grain auger system. Then the truck could park on the road and you would have reach and maneuverability in the auger to reach the far out spots.
very impressive truck ,i worked in paving in the 60s and 70s i was a member of local 137 operating enginears in Briarcliff Manor ,N Y and i lived in Danbury my main experience was roller operator ,back up paver operator also backhoe and loader ,i worked for D F Macnamee for about 6 years and Cahill paving in Bedford HIlls for about 6 years, i think these trucks will change the industry ,very impressive ,i understand your excitment because when i worked for Macnamee the had the first trucked equipped with an infared heating unit on the back of the truck about 8 by8 and carried 1 ton of asphalt the got the contract to do the patch work from utility co. and i was part of the crew ,please keep us posted . thank you Ed Nusso retired in Az.
revolutionary idea. This is going to change the north American industry overnight, And its Canadian. Wouldn't be the first time we have revolutionized the road and highway construction industry.
Not an asphalt guy but can immediately appreciate the benefits this bit of kit provides. Only thing more interesting than watching the asphalt 'spreader' is listening to the 'all over it like a cheap suit' commentary from a man who has obviously 'been there done that' - no substitute for experience and the delivery is not half bad either. Thoroughly enjoyed.
The hydraulic disconnect is patterned after the corn and bean head hydraulics used in ag, ie John Deere. Very important to keep the hydraulic connections free of contaminants. Looks like a very functional and well designed system.
That would work great for filling berm machines and smaller sidewalk pavers and dont get the mess of crumbs coming from shutes of the truck falling on road thats great invention
I'm very impressed at how you want to share your knowledge and your experience a lot of people would just keep it to themselves you have a very awesome family I just started watching you and I'm very impressed how old school you are and trying to take the new stuff into it I run a motivator for the last 40 years and very impressed how you lay asphalt not many people where I work at do the job as you do you should be very proud of yourself keep up the good work and the nice videos thank you so much 🇺🇸🚜
Great comment bro, definitely well deserved! As a fellow tradesman myself, I fully agree with everything you wrote. However, it sure would've been ALOT easier/quicker to read if it just had some punctuation. Or ANY punctuation, for that matter. I'm not trying to sound like a dick here bro, but there were 9 separate sentences in that paragraph & not a single period telling people where one sentence ends, and the next one begins! Again, I'm not trying to come across as a jerk, I apologize if you took it that way...I only wanted to point it out so that it might help you somehow in the future. Take care & good luck
Looking at the open auger, there is a lot of buildup stuck under the screw and sidewalls for what little the unit has been operated. The screw better be quick and easy to pull out because it's going build up very quickly. What are you using as "degreaser" ? Is that straight diesel fuel? What is the load rating and how many cubic feet are lost than a normal box designed end-dump. With a reduced box size, won't that mean more loads being hauled and in turn, a longer day for the entire crew and plant operator(s)?
I'm considering getting my CDL and starting a small family business like my buddies father who taught me everything. I'm with big boys now doing a little bit of everything but it screams to me to start my own business. If I ever get enough credit history and cash I really want one of these and if I have to run a truck for a couple years until I can get a skid steer and a leeboy 8000/8500 start doing stuff with a couple guys. That auger attachment is a game changer. Though I think pushing wheel barrows for ten years helped develop my character 😂 Definitely love watching this I wish you guys would come out with more videos! Dude I nearly shit my pants over that digital dash. I'll have to send you some pictures of one of our Peterbilts at the yard, a former driver flipped it into the woods with a full load!
Sweet rig! I think a good feature would be extending the auger in and out so if you need to get a tight corner you don’t need to reposition the truck or throw with a shovel.
I've only seen these machines used for concrete. You gentlemen are really going to change the paying industry with this new truck design. It really is a labor, material, & and time-saving system.
I’m just a farmer we use that hydraulic hook up on our heads on our combines. I’ve always wondered why it doesn’t get used in the construction industry. My brother-in-law put a 50 foot on the back of a live bottom street truck that he built with a huge troth auger like you got , but it wasn’t as fancy with that remote. That’s a good idea. He had a big job where he needed to get up in something. I can’t remember what the hell it was 10 years ago. And the u trough auger came off our farm. It was basically wore out and wasn’t moving green is efficiently but it sure does move asphalt kind of doesn’t like your binders especially dense binder, but nice job I like it you should make it so you can add on extensions if you want.
Hey APS! Really good video and business. We have a similar system here in Sweden, tho it has some longer reach etc and you can actually steer/drive the truck from the remote on the outside of the cab. The system here it’s called “Sprider” Greetings from Sweden👋
Yeah I was gonna say, Europe has had trucks like this for years, it's not really that new of a thing. All be it the ability to remove it and run the truck just normal might be.
Amazing machines, much like a metered concrete truck. Good to see a veteran business owner and craftsman such as yourself, giving back to the trades. We need more like you to take them to the next level.
This should be a requirement for dpw/municipalities for multiple reasons. Helps in in patch work which is most of their work and helps in pothole repairs along with everything you've said. Would also be good for loam after a roads been paved or after a new sidewalk along the edge. Also good for edge of road/ shoulder work. This would also be good for mulching flower beds along roads or in rotarys. Brilliant idea guys for sure would love to try it out but trying to convince a municipality to buy one and maintain it the right way would be tough.
weeping tile along foundations back filling, trenching filling for pipes cables ect,,, , even just gravel on a driveway , no other equipment but a rake , but pot hole repair speed must be 10x faster if not more , thinking with out a box tight there,
Cost savings in : less equipment to mobilize less employee time per job / less employees less employee injuries / fewer L& I claims plus many more savings............
I paved for a few years and this guys equipment and shop are second to none! His operation represents the type of work he does....guaranteed. The man is a perfectionist! Love the new trucks and the feed shute on the rear. GREAT JOB in design!
I can’t believe I watch this whole thing. This is the best truck in the world. It’s gonna make the job much easier I love the color delivery on it. I think it’s great. It’s fantastic no more wheelbarrels. Lol I think every worker threw away the wheel barrels. They always get in the way of the work anyway so I think it’s great. Keep up the good work and spread this news. This is terrific. This is awesome. Keep going and show the world everything❤️
I'm not a paver, never done a drive or anything similar...the vid randomly popped up in my feed. But I like tech, machines and efficiency...I can see many of the advantages...Nice job
If you listen to this man or are lucky enough to be one of his kids you will never be poor! Man know what he's talking about. I'm a driver 15 yrs now and I like the way he thinks
That’s awesome man. A lot of old timers don’t get it when you invest and invent machinery to make the job easier it becomes more efficient and less guys needed. You’ll make more profit and have less payroll.
Two things come to my mind. First of all, awesome idea! I’m not a paver, but I appreciate innovation. The “cap” on the hydraulic coupler. The part that stores in the cab when using the auger? Tether that to the coupler. One day somebody will be in a hurry and set that on a fender. Next thing you know it’s bouncing down the highway. Other thing. Watching you guys use that and knowing there’s a driver and an auger operator I wonder if they can be combined. You know the trucks they drive guardrail posts with? The operator in that jump seat works the stake pounder and steers/ moves the truck. Could make it stupid expensive but could make it way more productive.
Growing up my uncle had a asphalt company here in hawaii and using a wheel barrel and having to bust your ass to do asphalt that machine would've come in super handy back in the days speed amd efficiency can't be beat man congratulations on upgrading that thing is a beast
I think adding in load cell or inline air pressure monitors on the rear bags would allow you to know what tonnage you have left on board and when you start. Takes the guess work out of knowing or thinking you know what's loaded or left on the truck
Agreed!!! Hard to tell what’s in the truck without the body raised in the air. We discussed this the other day. Most likely going to add them to this unit this winter!
That would work really good for a city, patching on day, top soil fix ups, and mulch around trees, Then in the winter use it to top salt up on side walk plows.
For us Diecast Model Truck collectors, you need to commission First Gear Diecast in Peosta, Iowa or Speccast in Dyersville Iowa to create this remarkable truck and Auger Trailer. This will pair perfectly with all of the diecast pavers available in the collector market. Great video!!!
Not in the industry, but your innovative piece of equipment was definitely interesting and seems like a game changer. Only thing that I can see to make it even more useful, would be an extension for the end of the auger to give you 5 to 10 more feet of reach. Even a metal slide that hooked on similar to concrete trucks might work. Beautiful rig!
I really enjoy seeing how much pride you take in what you do. And I'm really impressed with the ingenuity of your design. You might be interested in a video published a few months ago on the Essential Craftsman channel on live bottom machines that sling gravel. Different material, but the idea is somewhat related.
Those little trucks would be really nice for you. I drove a mixer for years, you work the truck the same way there but you have a chute that's all gravity. I might have wanted to do asphalt if they had trucks like that when I was younger. I hate to say it but we are on the bottom of the pile in this country. Kudos to your for starting something your boys/children can do so they can start a rung or two up the ladder from where you started!
How about calling them Paveinator? Maybe come up with a front discharge system like the ready mix trucks. A skilled driver can make the job much easier.
You probably don’t read these but last year I watched this video as we took delivery of our new international hx620 with your normal body with asphalt apron. Since we have to order trucks a year in advance I ordered the next 620 with a trout river live bottom body and she comes in around April. Can’t wait and thank you for the vids.
Not sure if this would be beneficial but if there was two extra buttons on the remote to signal to the driver instead of having to take your hands off the control to wave them on. One button for forwards will signal the driver and another button for stop. Even if it was led lights flashing by their mirrors in the cab. This would allow the control operator to not need to focus on getting the drivers attention and can keep their hands on the control moving the auger position.
Great idea. Almost like the stop and go lights on the new milling machines. We are going to fit it with cameras but then you have the problem of the driver watching the camera when you need them looking at you!
Just subscribed to your channel. You guys are top of the line. Nice to see a company that cares about other companies in the same industry. Your fleet of equipment is second to none.
This will revolutionize hand work. It be like having a more versatile and precise shuttle buggy with you. Can't wait to see something like this as the status quo in the industry for hand work.
Make it double fold, Ideally when folded the extsention would be behind, or under the existing auger. Look at grain wagon augers for inspiration. Would add 6 ish feet of reach. I lay asphalt in Indiana so the Live bottom isnt a thing here wish it was cause one of these would be SWEET!!!
Yup, handy thing, We have an semi trailers here in Finland with push wall, most important safety feature on those are that they are steady even on uneven surface.
Hi my name is Joe I live in Canada we have a truck called the stone slinger that has an arm on the side that sits on the passenger side almost to the level of the frame that comes out depending on how long the boxes could be 16 to 20 feet long it is on a belt, but you probably could converted it into a auger and use it for asphalt to look good nice 👍🏼
That's awesome! You guys have an amazing fleet and take good pride in your business. I'm definitely going to be enquiring with trout river that would make are job so much easier and the nice part is that with trout river I can convert that into a salt spreader for the winter.

The “cap” on the hydraulic coupler. The part that stores in the cab when using the auger? Tether that to the coupler. One day somebody will be in a hurry and set that on a fender. Next thing you know it’s bouncing down the highway.
Other thing. Watching you guys use that and knowing there’s a driver and an auger operator I wonder if they can be combined. You know the trucks they drive guardrail posts with? The operator in that jump seat works the stake pounder and steers/ moves the truck. Could make it stupid expensive but could make it way more productive.
Wow what a awesome rig its almost like a slinger. Another great Canadian product.
Growing up my uncle had a asphalt company here in hawaii and using a wheel barrel and having to bust your ass to do asphalt that machine would've come in super handy back in the days speed amd efficiency can't be beat man congratulations on upgrading that thing is a beast
I think adding in load cell or inline air pressure monitors on the rear bags would allow you to know what tonnage you have left on board and when you start. Takes the guess work out of knowing or thinking you know what's loaded or left on the truck
Agreed!!! Hard to tell what’s in the truck without the body raised in the air. We discussed this the other day. Most likely going to add them to this unit this winter!
That would work really good for a city, patching on day, top soil fix ups, and mulch around trees, Then in the winter use it to top salt up on side walk plows.
Wow awesome
MFG, Trout River.
Live bottom is the wave I work at Tilcon and we love the live bottoms we have the snorkels on the front for curbs
Amazing innovation gentlemen as a laborer in the Connecticut construction theater I'm highly impressed
For us Diecast Model Truck collectors, you need to commission First Gear Diecast in Peosta, Iowa or Speccast in Dyersville Iowa to create this remarkable truck and Auger Trailer. This will pair perfectly with all of the diecast pavers available in the collector market. Great video!!!
Not in the industry, but your innovative piece of equipment was definitely interesting and seems like a game changer. Only thing that I can see to make it even more useful, would be an extension for the end of the auger to give you 5 to 10 more feet of reach. Even a metal slide that hooked on similar to concrete trucks might work. Beautiful rig!
Very impressive !
The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys...Nice Trucks
This is an awesome idea hope they do a British version of the truck
I really enjoy seeing how much pride you take in what you do. And I'm really impressed with the ingenuity of your design. You might be interested in a video published a few months ago on the Essential Craftsman channel on live bottom machines that sling gravel. Different material, but the idea is somewhat related.
I’m going to order two of the complete units. Amazing “ Thank you for the videos.
Australia has some like this
We also got a auger system version to. They are awesome. I love watching machines at work
Those little trucks would be really nice for you. I drove a mixer for years, you work the truck the same way there but you have a chute that's all gravity. I might have wanted to do asphalt if they had trucks like that when I was younger. I hate to say it but we are on the bottom of the pile in this country. Kudos to your for starting something your boys/children can do so they can start a rung or two up the ladder from where you started!
How about calling them Paveinator? Maybe come up with a front discharge system like the ready mix trucks. A skilled driver can make the job much easier.
Next you need a truck to go back to the ashphalt plant and auger it into your fancy new trucks. Enjoying this from the UK.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention, that is a ery cool rig, a real game changer
I am so excited to see this new truck. I drive 1997 t880 kenworth , and we do alot of paving.
Awesome shop and Fleet. Love how you guys take pride in your work and have all your trucks/equipment gleaming.
You probably don’t read these but last year I watched this video as we took delivery of our new international hx620 with your normal body with asphalt apron. Since we have to order trucks a year in advance I ordered the next 620 with a trout river live bottom body and she comes in around April. Can’t wait and thank you for the vids.
We sure do read these. Hope you told the Trout River boys we sent you LOL.. Thanks for tuning in!
Not sure if this would be beneficial but if there was two extra buttons on the remote to signal to the driver instead of having to take your hands off the control to wave them on. One button for forwards will signal the driver and another button for stop. Even if it was led lights flashing by their mirrors in the cab. This would allow the control operator to not need to focus on getting the drivers attention and can keep their hands on the control moving the auger position.
Great idea. Almost like the stop and go lights on the new milling machines. We are going to fit it with cameras but then you have the problem of the driver watching the camera when you need them looking at you!
Just subscribed to your channel. You guys are top of the line. Nice to see a company that cares about other companies in the same industry. Your fleet of equipment is second to none.
Thank you John! Welcome!
This will revolutionize hand work. It be like having a more versatile and precise shuttle buggy with you. Can't wait to see something like this as the status quo in the industry for hand work.
Call it “the hot leg 🦵 “ or “the hot wand/chute”! … beautiful rig !
Cheers from Eastern Canada 🇨🇦!
Dude.. You are a master at your work!
That Truck is a Work of Art you own the most amazing paving rig on the planet I can see landscapers using this for mulch and stone work
Make it double fold, Ideally when folded the extsention would be behind, or under the existing auger. Look at grain wagon augers for inspiration. Would add 6 ish feet of reach. I lay asphalt in Indiana so the Live bottom isnt a thing here wish it was cause one of these would be SWEET!!!
Thanks for showing us the new way to paved the small drive way and side walks
Our pleasure!
Im impressed with your business and work ethic.
Love it - congrats to a wonderful idea - you guys are awesome see you guys in NY a lot
With solving a problem, you caused one!! This is an amazing idea.
Wow that was awesome it’s a game changer well done team
What a great setup that will save money and time. Wish this kind of equipment was around when I wheelbarrowed out asphalt driveways
Yup, handy thing, We have an semi trailers here in Finland with push wall, most important safety feature on those are that they are steady even on uneven surface.
Hi my name is Joe I live in Canada we have a truck called the stone slinger that has an arm on the side that sits on the passenger side almost to the level of the frame that comes out depending on how long the boxes could be 16 to 20 feet long it is on a belt, but you probably could converted it into a auger and use it for asphalt to look good nice 👍🏼
Love getting inside these 2021 PeterBilts.
Great Video Even Better Product, Congratulations!!!
I love efficiency at this level
That's awesome! You guys have an amazing fleet and take good pride in your business. I'm definitely going to be enquiring with trout river that would make are job so much easier and the nice part is that with trout river I can convert that into a salt spreader for the winter.
