Specifying medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks for construction and vocational applications requires careful consideration of every option on the order sheet. Beyond selecting the right powertrain, fleet managers and owner-operators must evaluate a long list of features that directly affect productivity, payload capacity, and total cost of ownership. The challenge lies in distinguishing essential needs from […]

Natural gas is emerging as a compelling alternative fuel for construction truck fleets, driven by abundant domestic reserves and sustained price advantages over diesel. With approximately 20 new natural gas vehicle fueling stations coming online every month across the United States, the viability of operating both heavy and light construction trucks on natural gas continues

In a rapidly evolving construction landscape, articulating a compelling sustainability message has become as foundational as the structural integrity of the buildings themselves.

Producing asphalt in remote and geologically challenging environments demands careful plant selection, robust operational planning, and an understanding of local economic conditions. Few places illustrate this better than Newfoundland, known affectionately as ‘The Rock,’ where companies like Modern Paving have built successful operations around strategic equipment investments. For contractors and producers evaluating asphalt plant upgrades

Producing asphalt mixes with high percentages of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) presents a persistent challenge for plant operators: maintaining proper temperature control without damaging baghouse equipment. When RAP content exceeds 30 percent, the dynamics inside the dryer drum change significantly, often leading to overheated exhaust gases that can damage baghouse bags or, conversely, moisture condensation

In 2005, the city of Austin, Texas, made a controversial decision to ban coal tar-based pavement sealers within city limits, setting off a chain reaction that has influenced municipal policies across the country. The ban was based on studies linking polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coal tar sealants to contamination of urban waterways. But as
