acAllister Machinery recently joined Eastside Jr./ Sr. High School, Vincennes University and Purdue University IN-MaC to launch the MAC NextGen Academy in Butler, Ind., creating a new pathway for students interested in diesel technology careers. Eight students were selected from more than 20 applicants for the inaugural class. The program combines high school coursework with hands-on technical training, industry experience and opportunities to earn industryrecognized credentials. Lisa Deck, program manager of Education and Workforce Development, Purdue University IN-MaC, emphasized the value of the partnership. “The MAC NextGen Academy represents exactly what is possible when education and industry work together with a shared vision. Through this partnership with MacAllister Machinery, Eastside High School, Vincennes University and Purdue IN-MaC, students will gain handson experience with state-of-the-art diesel technology, earn industry-recognized credentials and explore meaningful career opportunities while still in high school. This academy is not simply preparing students for their first job — it is creating a skilled talent pipeline and opening doors to lifelong careers in an industry that urgently needs qualified diesel technicians.” The launch brought together students, families, educators and industry representatives to celebrate the new program. Matt Dazey, director of student services, spoke about coordinating students’ class schedules and academic requirements as they participate in the academy. Students also had an opportunity to see Cat equipment and diesel components firsthand and learn more about careers in the heavy equipment industry. The event concluded with Alex MacAllister joining students for a ceremonial ribbon cutting officially launching the MAC NextGen Academy.

Route 66 Spans More Than 2,000K Miles From Chicago to L.A.
A stretch of Route 66 in Oatman, Ariz. ROUTE from page 1
Over 20 days, the Route 66 Centennial Caravan conducted a party on wheels, following the road from west to east, from Los Angeles to Chicago, celebrating 100 years since the road was established as part of the nation’s new numbered highway system. The caravan’s route is in the opposite direction from the one laid out in the 1940s song that helped cement the road’s role in American popular culture: Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A. More than 2,000 miles all the way Get your kicks on Route 66 — “Route 66,” by Bobby Troup Starting in California had its advantages, said Martin, whose Route 66 bona fides include serving as president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, chair of the State Route 66 Association Working Group for the Route 66 Road Ahead Partnership, member of the Oklahoma Route 66 Centennial

Commission and the Tulsa Route 66 Commission, and an advisor to the nonprofit Route 66 Alliance. “The advantage of driving west to east is that California gets more of a fair shake when it comes to exploration. Many travelers cross the border from Arizona and try to get to the Pacific Ocean as fast as possible. By going the opposite direction, it encourages folks to linger a bit longer and see all of the great attractions and hear more of the stories in California before continuing east.” How did they build this highway a hundred years ago? First of all, Martin and other Route 66 enthusiasts will tell you, the road wasn’t built as much as it was assembled — from pieces of Native American trails and pioneer routes westward, and from rough county and state roads to railroad lines. “One of the first myths I have to dispel with people is they think Route 66 was built,” said Seth Chalmers, chair of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Arizona Section History and Heritage Committee. “It was a designation of a highway

system that was already existing. It granted some realignments and improvements were made, but the road itself was pretty much there. So, it was really designated and improved rather than built. “And as those improvements were made, then, of course, you had more people driving and could afford vehicles and it became more of an engine of commerce and tourism than it was when it first started,” Chalmers said. In contrast to the interstates that replaced the U.S. numbered highways beginning in the 1950s, Route 66’s heyday was brief — a scant 30 years. But America’s first motorists loved it. It offered adventure, wonder, even danger — from washouts, potholes and failed pavement. The eight states it crossed — Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and California — hyped Route 66 to bring in tourists and generate tax revenue. It became “Mother Road,” thanks to John Steinbeck and “Grapes of Wrath,” in which the highway conveyed the impoverished Joad family from Oklahoma to

California. Its diagonal configuration encouraged the growing trucking industry. An expansive and exuberant popular culture gave it icon status. For the road-building industry, it was a challenge to develop better kinds of pavements and roads. “We had smart engineers,” said Mike O’Leary, who has worked in the asphalt industry since the 1980s. “They had to figure out how to build a road in the desert and how to build a road in the mountains.” Route 66 and its siblings were where engineers and builders learned how to keep those jittery early cars on the road and in one piece.
History
From the front window of his house, Jim Ross has a clear view of Route 66. Ross, a writer, photographer and Route 66 preservationist, modeled his red-brick house in Arcadia, Okla., after a 1930 Phillips 66 service station that still stands in nearby Chandler, Okla. see ROUTE page 66

Dash-5 Paver Resurfaces Winding Road to German Castle Ruins
Tight hairpin turns, steep gradients and narrow passages characterize the vital access road to the Falkenstein castle ruins, located at an altitude of 4,190 ft., and the hotel with a gourmet restaurant located just below. Here, the new Vögele road paver Super 1800-5 X demonstrates why it is the right choice for difficult paving tasks.
Job Site With Many Challenges The road to the castle ruins, which is just over 1.2 mi. long, is only 10 ft. wide in sections and is already showing its age. The stretch of road is bumpy and has deep potholes. “This job site has a lot of tricky features. We are dealing with a steep gradient Wirtgen photo and very tight curves at the same time. That is a challenge for the paving and logistics,” said Sascha Böck, managing director of the contractor Josef Böck GmbH, describing the task. He planned the operation meticulously in advance. Only three-axle trucks can be used for mix delivery due to the hairpin Paver operator Tatjana Drexler benturns. In addition, there efits during paving from the optimal are only limited passing overview, the sensitive steering via places along the stretch SmartWheel and the exact screed to be covered.

In addition, it offers high traction Böck. “Thanks to the optimal
overview, the responsive steering via SmartWheel and the exact screed width adjustment, asphalt paving is possible in these challenging curves. The paver keeps to the line perfectly and we get a uniform paving result, which is not something to be taken for granted given the poor condition of the existing surface and varying paving depths. The pressure bar of the screed is very helpful here for achieving high pre-compaction.” The extending screed AB 500 TP1 can be hydraulically adjusted from 8.4 ft. to 16.4 ft. By adding bolt-on extensions, an extension up to 28.7 ft. is possible.

activity for the summer. She would never have dreamed back then that she would one day drive a road paver. “Today, it is my dream job,” she said, describing her career choice. She has only ever operated Vögele road pavers and would not want to switch. “Why would I, when I’m already out here with the best machine,” she said with a smile. Drexler loves controlling large machines safely, even under difficult conditions, while keeping an eye on her colleagues at the paving screed and the entire working area. The further developed operating concept ErgoPlus 5 is helpful in this regard. While operators always have to get used to one or two new features on a new machine, she was able to get used to the new paver very quickly due to the operating logic being very similar to the predecessor model. Operation is even simpler and more intuitive; the SmartWheel enables very precise steering, and the new touch display offers many additional options, according to Vögele. “Visually and technically, you can see that the machine has been noticeably further developed,” she said about the new road paver.

Compaction On Slope of More Than 30 Percent For final compaction, the team uses an oscillation roller HD 13 VO and an HD 10 VT from Hamm. Above all, the gradient of the route, which is more than 30 percent in parts, paired with the tight hairpin turns, places high demands on the skill of the roller operator and the capabilities of the rollers. They must be driven with great sensitivity so as not to push the mix, tear it apart or cause the roller to slip. This is precisely where the 3-point articulation of the Hamm rollers
proves once again to be a valuable feature. Successful Premiere of New Super 1800-5 X After just a few days, Germany’s highest gourmet restaurant and highest castle ruins, as well as the hotel below, are easily accessible again. The use of the Vögele road paver Super 1800-5 X with the extending screed AB 500 TP1 made a significant contribution to this. For more information, visit wirtgengroup.com.

Kubota North America announced the expansion of its presence at Great Plains Manufacturing, a Kubota subsidiary, in Salina, Kan., marking the occasion with a celebration event. The SVL75-3 compact track loader will be assembled on the same line as the SVL65-2 through a mixed model manufacturing approach, reinforcing Kubota’s strategy to expand operations closer to customers and dealers, strengthen its U.S. and Canadian supply chain and build more products in North America with globally sourced parts, according to Kubota. “Kansas is home to a highly skilled workforce and robust manufacturing industry, and the continued investments in our state from global businesses are a testament to that,” said Sen. Jerry Moran. “Kubota’s expansion at Great Plains will bring more skilled jobs to Salina and reinforce Kansas as a hub for equipment innovation.” “Our expansion here in the Midwest is about better serving our dealers and customers across the country,” said Todd Stucke, president of Kubota North America. “By increasing output we’re strengthening our ability to meet customer demand faster and more efficiently. This is how we are investing in American infrastructure and in the future of our company.” Earlier this year, Kubota North America announced the Salina groundbreaking of a new compact construction equipment test center specifically for North American equipment design and engineering.

Hyperscalers Create Big Demand for Skilled Workers JOBS from page 1
Data center “hyperscalers” Google, Amazon and Meta are funneling millions into the construction of mammoth data centers across the country. These mega projects require infrastructure, and the demand for craft workers to build the infrastructure is inflating worker salaries as a result. According to Fortune magazine, this year upwards of $100 billion could be invested by these tech companies into the U.S. data center buildout. Bank of America estimated global hyperscale spending rose 67 percent in 2025. The company expected another 31 percent rise this year. It reported a shocking $611 billion investment has been made in the nation’s AI buildout in just two years. And Fortune reports that as a result, construction workers are experiencing a pay bump for data center projects. Finding the right workers is still a challenge, though. “The AI race is now front-page news,” said Fraser Patterson, CEO and founder of Skillit, construction’s first AI-powered hiring platform. On a mission to fix the industry’s labor shortage, Skillit has been working on the labor infrastructure for AI construction projects. Zoom Out, Challenge Comes Into Focus “We’re in a multi-trillion-dollar buildout investment cycle that’ll support the energy, semiconductor and manufacturing sectors,” Patterson said. “There’s no AI without that infrastructure and there’s no infrastructure without skilled labor.” Suddenly, the industry is seeing a huge tech shift, added Patterson. And a problem that was persistent for years is now front and center. Alongside fuel, labor is the number one challenge in our ability to build out AI infrastructure, he said. That’s why there is so much interest in this problem. “I think for many years it wasn’t just underinvesting in American skilled craft workforce, but it also was misdiagnosing the problem,” he said. “We have something like 400,000 workers missing from
very much word of mouth, in a union hall, or ‘this worker we just hired knows of a worker.’ It’s a very inefficient, painful process to discover, assess and bring skilled workers onboard. That’s the underlying problem, we believe.” He said if the company’s AIbased system could solve just this challenge, 95 percent of the construction workforce would become available for infrastructure jobs. “We’ve never before had workers be able to digitize who they are as a nuanced craft worker,” he said. Skillit’s team developed a construction-specific, craft-workerfirst onboarding experience. “As a Adobe Stock photo result, we’re able to find them,” Patterson said.

HIPOWER: What to Know Before Choosing Generator Choosing the right generator size is essential to ensure reliability, protect your equipment and avoid unnecessary costs. Whether your genset will be used for continuous, prime or standby power, careful planning can help you avoid common pitfalls. Key factors to consider: 1. Start with the Load: The first and most critical step in sizing a generator is understanding your power requirements. Identify the loads that are essential to your operation and determine their power demands when utility power is unavailable. Create a list of all required loads, including their voltages, to size your generator correctly. Undersizing can lead to startup failures or even damage connected equipment. Conversely, oversizing can result in inefficient operation, increased maintenance and higher repair costs due to light loading. As businesses grow, power demands often increase. It’s common to oversize a genset by a margin to accommodate future expansion but avoid going too far — expansion plans that take too long
indicates their locked rotor current. Using this data helps achieve more accurate generator sizing. To manage reactive loads effectively and avoid oversizing, consider: Load sequencing: Bringing loads online in stages — allowing one motor to reach full operation before starting the next — can significantly reduce the generator’s required capacity. Advanced starters: Using soft starters or Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) can minimize the inrush current by controlling voltage and frequency during startup, allowing for a smaller genset without sacrificing performance. 3. Match Site Requirements: Voltage and frequency stability, as well as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), must meet the needs of your specific application. Generators used for life safety, fire prevention or other critical systems have stricter regulations, often dictated by local, state and national codes. Always verify that the engine and generator are correctly sized to meet these performance standards. 4. Choose the Right Fuel: Fuel type

to materialize can lead to unnecessary expenses. 2. Understand the Type of Load: Not all loads behave the same. Loads can be broadly divided into resistive and reactive (non-linear): Resistive loads (such as incandescent lighting or heating elements) draw the same current to start as they do to run. Reactive loads (such as motors, pumps and HVAC systems) require significantly more power to start, making them the biggest factor in generator sizing. Motors and similar equipment often list their NEMA code on data plates, which
is another important consideration for commercial and industrial generators. The three most common options are diesel, natural gas and propane, each with its own advantages: Diesel: On-site fuel storage, generally lower cost per kW (depending on emissions requirements), but higher fuel costs and emissions. Fuel must be delivered during extended outages. Natural Gas: Cleaner emissions, lower fuel costs and readily available if a gas line exists. Generators typically have a higher upfront cost, and new gas line installation may add expenses. Propane: On-site storage, relatively clean emissions and often lower fuel costs than diesel. Like diesel, fuel must be delivered during long outages and per kW costs tend to be higher. Each site has unique needs, so weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding.
Power With Confidence The right generator sizing ensures optimal performance, protects your investment and supports future growth. For expert advice tailored to your specific application, reach out to your HIPOWER sales or support team.

Route 66: What Began as Dirt Roads Took Decade to Pave ROUTE from page 34
Chandler was one of hundreds of small towns that Route 66 was created to connect. In 1952, he said, the original Route 66 alignment was bypassed “in favor of an improved alignment around the other side of the hill.” After nearly 100 years, the road in front of Ross’ house is in enviable shape. “Its’survivability is a combination of the concrete base beneath the asphalt and the light traffic it has seen since its bypass in 1952,” he said. When America launched the highway-building boom that created Route 66, there were about 2.5 million mi. of road. Only 1.29 percent were paved. Establishing a national network of roads was seen as a way to move military hardware and the mail around Jim Grey photo the country. The latter was a Much of Route 66 was four-laned in Illinois.

Transportation did a lot of their own construction, by the Missouri State Highway Commission in Regulations in Oklahoma called for a “uniform Chalmers said. “They had their own equipment:
hydraulic bulldozers, concrete mixers, batch plants. So, a lot of that technology already existed. I think a lot of that was based on the railroads.” Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation website shows the construction in 1919 of the first section of what would become Route 66 in Oklahoma, with a “water-bound macadam surface, macadam base and ‘Topeka asphalt’ surface placed near the state capitol.” “The first concrete pavement (with exposed concrete surface) was a 7.825 lane-mile section placed in 1922 from Tulsa to Catoosa,” according to roadsandbridges.com. Missouri declared its stretch of Route 66 fully paved in 1931. That March, the Laclede County Republican, of Lebanon, Mo., reported on a celebration of the completed road. At the gathering, Charles U. Becker, Missouri’s then secretary of state, recalled the situation a dozen years earlier, “when Missouri still was ‘in the mud’ … and the road system then was a helterskelter maze of country roads, ‘nothing more than a disconnected chain of cow paths.’” And Gov. Henry S. Caufield spoke of the expenditure of $12 million to bring Highway 66 to its “present state of perfection.”
Improvements, Innovations
“Highway designers intended to make Route 66 ‘modern’ in every sense of the term,” according to the National Parks Service. “State engineers worked to reduce the number of curves, widen lanes and ensure all-weather capability.” “All of a sudden we needed all these roads, and they’re just mud paths,” Chalmers said. “From a civil engineering standpoint, there’s a lot of things that we had to develop. We had engineering principles from the railroads, but we didn’t necessarily have those engineering principles for vehicles. The automobile was totally different,” he added. “For guardrails, the technology has changed a lot. Before it was, ‘hey, make it real sturdy.’ Now we have guardrails that basically absorb energy, and they put you back on the road. It’s actually safer for you to hit the guardrail than it is to go off the road.” Engineers introduced grade separations where roads crossed railroad tracks. And super elevation was developed to keep cars on the road when they’re driving on a curve. As cars improved and their speeds increased, “a lot of people died on curves,” Chalmers said. “You go around a horizontal curve — super elevations are where you warp the curve, so you don’t fly off of it. “People come in too hot on a curve. There’s not enough friction, and there’s not enough super elevation.” “Or you have a long straight section of the roadway. And all of a sudden have a curve at it. You know you’re going to get crashes at that curve, especially with impaired drivers. “So vertical geometry had to be developed and the idea of stopping sight distance, where the driver has enough time to react and stop or maneuver.” see ROUTE page 94

I Make America, mikeroweWORKS Partner to Spotlight Careers in Manufacturing I Make America, the national grassroots program of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), announced the launch of a new campaign featuring Mike Rowe. Rowe is a longtime advocate for skilled trades and founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, which spotlights the men and women of the equipment manufacturing industry and promotes rewarding careers in modern manufacturing. The campaign is anchored by a workforce-focused commercial that celebrates the people who build, power and feed America while highlighting the opportunities available across the skilled trades and manufacturing, according to I Make America. The commercial will run for three months across social media, digital video and connected television. “Manufacturing workers are helping build the future of this country, but too many people still do not understand the scale of our industry or the career opportunities it provides,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM senior vice president
of government and industry relations. “By joining forces with the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, we are challenging outdated perceptions and inspiring more people to build their futures with these familysustaining careers.” Mike Rowe filmed the campaign during an appearance with the AEM Manufacturing Express at ConExpo-Con/ AGG, where he joined AEM logo AEM leaders and equipment manufacturing workers to discuss the importance of skilled work, career and technical education and the role manufacturers play in strengthening local communities. “Campaigns like these are essential to closing America’s skills gap, by showing the next generation of skilled workers just how much opportunity is out there,” said Rowe.

JCB Hydromax Sets New Hydrogen Land-Speed Record JCB took its hydrogen engine technology from the construction site to the Bonneville Salt Flats on Aug. 11, 2026, where its Hydromax race car reached an average speed of 406.32 mph to set a new world land-speed record for a hydrogen-powered internal-combustion vehicle. Driven by Wing Commander Andy Green, Hydromax recorded 400.623 mph on its first run and 412.135 mph on its second. The two runs were made in opposite directions in accordance with Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) rules. The record is subject to FIA ratification. The 32-ft.-long Hydromax is powered by two production-based JCB hydrogen combustion engines producing a combined 1,600 horsepower. The engines were manufactured at JCB’s facility in Foston, Derbyshire, England, and are based on technology developed for the company’s construction equipment. The run surpassed the previous FIAofficiated hydrogen internal-combustion record of 185.5 mph, set by the BMW H2R in 2004. It also exceeded JCB’s own 350.092-mph diesel land-speed record, established by Green behind the wheel of JCB Dieselmax at Bonneville in 2006. “Twenty years ago, we came to Bonneville with JCB Dieselmax and showed what British engineering could do with diesel power,” JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford said. “Today we have done it again — this time with engines powered by hydrogen.” “Bonneville is the spiritual home of the world land-speed record, and JCB Hydromax has just written itself into that history,” Green said. “The car was terrific — stable, strong and fast. Setting a world land-speed record with hydrogen power, 20 years after Dieselmax, is a huge privilege. This record is a huge achievement by a world-class team and superb technology.” JCB has invested approximately $135 million in its hydrogen engine program. The company said it has produced more than 150 hydrogen combustion engines, with the first hydrogen-powered machines now entering production. JCB unveiled its first hydrogen-powered construction equipment prototypes — a backhoe loader and Loadall telescopic handler — in 2021. The company is developing hydrogen combustion as

an alternative power source for heavy equipment. The hydrogen-powered machines are not currently commercially available in the United States. The record comes as JCB prepares to open a new $500 million manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas. The company expects the plant to employ approximately 1,500 people and manufacture construction equipment for the U.S. market. JCB h previously used speed-record projects to demonstrate its engineering capabilities. In addition to Dieselmax’s 2006 record, a JCB Fastrac reached 135.191 mph in 2019 to become the world’s fastest tractor. In 2014, the JCB GT established a 72.58 mph speed record for a backhoe loader. For JCB, the Hydromax project is intended to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen combustion technology developed for construction equipment. When operated on hydrogen, the company said the engines produce no CO2 at the tailpipe. The record comes ahead of the opening of JCB’s new $500 million factory in San Antonio, Texas, which will employ 1,500 people manufacturing machines for the U.S. market. (All photos courtesy of JCB.)
The JCB team celebrates the record-setting performance.

CDE, Maverick Environmental Equipment Announce Their Strategic Partnership
John O’Neill
CDE has revealed that it is partnering with machinery supplier Maverick Environmental Equipment to enhance efficiency in sand and aggregate processing across three midwestern states. The two firms will join forces to serve the Michigan, Ohio and Indiana markets, where Maverick will be providing a full suite of CDE’s solutions to include parts to service these states where demand for our washing technology is growing. Each of these states is seeing continued investment in infrastructure such as roads, and bridges, as well as construction of other projects like residential developments and data centers, all of which are contributing to increased demand for sand and aggregates. This is putting more pressure on materials suppliers and makes this partnership even more crucial for the Midwest in ensuring the right wet processing solutions are readily available. “This is a crucial time for the sand and aggregates industry in the Midwest,” said Ronan Duffy of CDE. “With resources depleting, demand for construction materials is continuing to grow, and there is a real reliance on materials suppliers across these states. This is why this partnership is so important. With our expertise at CDE in providing robust solutions, and the team at Maverick Environmental Equipment in knowing exactly what the market needs, we’ll be able to help bridge the gap between demand and supply.”

This partnership follows CDE launching its ModaLine range earlier this year, the first in a new series of containerized sand washing solutions designed for plug-and-play operation unlike ever before. Maverick Environmental Equipment’s focus is specifically directed to machinery solutions used in environmental applications such as aggregate processing, waste, recycling, forestry and biomass. This year, Maverick Environmental Equipment celebrates its 10th year of business, having evolved from a group that has been dedicated to the equipment industry for more than 20 years. “Since I first met Tony Convery and the CDE team in 2015, I have been very impressed with the company and their drive,” said John O’Neill, CEO of Maverick Environmental Equipment. “When we started Maverick in 2016 it was our goal to be the best in the business in distribution and support and to do that you need to work with true innovators. “We are excited to be chosen by CDE as their partner in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana to ensure end users receive the best solutions, equipment, and aftersales support in the market. Maverick is committed, along with CDE to being the best partner a customer can have.” “CDE is the global standard in wet processing and adding them to our line lets Maverick give customers a true start-to-finish material processing solution — not just equipment, but the engineering, parts and service behind

Creating Connected Job Sites — Why Eliminating Data Silos Makes Difference Concerns about costs and attracting enough workers to complete jobs continue to dominate conversation. While the adoption and deployment of technology can help address both concerns, technology is only truly effective when data silos are eliminated. Cloud-connected collaboration platforms enable teams to share realtime data, creating a single source of truthm, according to Leica Geosystems. Too often though, technology is a “bolt-on” to existing frameworks and processes, and although it can help align teams, silos remain on the job site. The real challenge is figuring out how to break them down.
Why Breaking Down Silos Matters The modern job site is more technologically enabled than ever before, whether it’s smart wearables, machine control or digital twins, according to Leica. However, many companies are reluctant to use technology to its fullest potential, which creates data silos. The tangible benefits of eliminating silos include helping organizations complete projects on time, to specification and on budget, according to Leica. When teams operate from a single source of truth, it reduces the potential for mistakes and the need for rework. Eliminating rework also leads to safer job sites, reducing both monetary and human costs associated with accidents and mishaps, according

to Leica. How to Eliminate Data Silos Making the elimination of silos a reality requires a look at the technology deployed on the job site. Technology empowers teams to capture minute details about the job site in real time. Comparing this information to project plans requires stepping back
to consider every piece of equipment and every function performed on site. According to Leica, the first step is to ask simple yet critical questions: How does this equipment or this function play into the larger effort being expended on the job site? Is every function being captured and relayed to a central database? It’s not always about new technology; often, it’s about changing old habits, requiring teams to adjust their approach. Capturing data and working from a single source of truth isn’t a hindrance. Rather, it’s what makes the job site run smoother, added the company.
Making Job Sites Fully Connected As the workforce becomes more technologically advanced and digitally connected, it is naturally eliminating silos, but the opportunity for companies is to look at their workflows, see where the holdups exist and decide how to change them, according to Leica. Often, it doesn’t require a major overhaul. Rather, it necessitates small adjustments to ensure everything is aligned and fully connected. When this happens, silos don’t just Leica Geosystems graphic disappear; they become impossible to Safer job sites reduce financial and human costs associated with accidents and mishaps. create.

torm Equipment hosted its 2026 Storm Field Day July 29–30, 2026, in Mankato, Minn. The event attracted approximately 300 snow and ice professionals from 19 states and two countries for two days of education, hands-on equipment demonstrations, networking and industry discussion. Held at The Venue in Mankato, this year’s Field Day represented an expansion of Storm Equipment’s annual event, which has continued to grow since its inception. The company moved the event to a larger offsite facility to accommodate more attendees and create additional opportunities for education, networking and hands-on experiences. A major focus of the event was education that contractors could take directly back to their businesses. Storm CEO Jordan Smith joined Bob Marks (EMI) for a detailed discussion comparing two different approaches to commercial snow operations. The session explored practical topics including margins, labor, bidding, routing and operational strategy, while giving attendees significant time to ask questions and share their own experiences. The event also featured a keynote from Mark Bradley, focused on building scalable, high-performance snow and ice organizations. In his session, “Built to Scale: Creating a World-Class Snow Team,” Bradley addressed the organizational challenges that often emerge as snow companies grow. He presented strategies for building specialized winter leadership structures, strengthening accountability, improving communication and training systems and developing the depth needed to operate effectively during high-pressure winter events. see STORM page 90

Available with dry material capacities ranging from 8 to 15 cu. yds., the IceStriker LION also has liquid de-icing, anti-icing and pre-wetting capabilities. It comes standard with lateral liquid tanks, and up to four front-mounted tanks can be added to provide greater capacity. An optional dual spray bar is offered to create a 40-ft. working width for de-icing applications. The versatile IceStriker LION is available with either hydraulic or 24V/48V electric drive. Additionally, customers can choose between a 20-in.-wide chain conveyor or extra-large dual augers to feed material to the spinner. A stainless-steel inverted-V reduces heavy start-up loads on the augers or conveyor, while the standard automatic vibrator helps material flow freely. Other key features include 304 stainlesssteel construction, which offers superior corrosion resistance. The spreader is also available with an innovative in-cab adjustment for spreading symmetry, giving

operators precise control over material distribution without leaving the cab or manually repositioning the spinner. The IceStriker LION comes with Hilltip’s Strikesmart controller and exclusive HTrack tracking software, which features the industry’s only GPRS two-way
communication channel for unprecedented remote monitoring, management, and reporting capabilities. This control interface works in conjunction with existing central hydraulic systems installed on the chassis. For enhanced intelligence, the optional Strikesmart Plus controller paired with the
TempStriker sensor monitors current and forecasted weather conditions, using the realtime data to recommend optimal material types and application rates automatically. The flexible design of the IceStriker LION 8-15 Combi Spreader is available with numerous options, allowing customers to configure the unit to meet their individual needs. These include an endof-material alarm system, flip-down ladder with handrails, leg stands with hook lift frame, and a two-piece tarp mechanism for effortless opening and closing. “From conventional salt spreading to advanced liquid applications, the IceStriker LION is designed to maximize efficiency, performance and operator convenience,” said Craig Sandmann, managing director for Hilltip North America. “It’s a highly durable and reliable design, powered by advanced technology and offered with multiple options to meet the needs of highway operations and many other large-scale winter maintenance operations.” Finished in high-visibility orange as standard, the spreader is also available in alternative colors to accommodate various fleets.

More Than 300 Snow, Ice Professionals Size, Power, Features... Wolf America WL200 Attend Storm Field Day in Minnesota Delivers Power for Snow Contractors Storm Equipment photo
The Wolf America WL200 wheel loader brings together the size, power and features snow removal contractors need in a machine that is ready to go to work. For a fraction of the traditional price, according to the manufacturer. Weighing approximately 12,500 lbs. and powered by a 74hp Cummins engine, the WL200 offers a strong combination of power, maneuverability and operating weight. The machine is well suited for commercial snow removal and can comfortably handle 10 to 14-ft. live edge box plows. “What sets Wolf America apart is the experience behind the equipment,” the company said. “We approach wheel loaders from the perspective of the people who actually use them during long winter storms — they’re designed for snow plowers by snow plowers, Wolf America loaders are configured around the demands of commercial snow removal — where visibility, operator comfort, reliability and the ability to efficiently move large amounts of snow all matter.” That real-world experience comes from Wolf America’s connection with Extra Mile Snow Plowing in West Bend, Wis., the company added. “Rather than simply selling equipment, the team understands what contractors expect from a loader because they operate equipment in demanding winter conditions themselves.” For contractors preparing for the upcoming snow season, Wolf America currently has approximately 30 WL200 loaders available. “Service can be done at any place of repair you choose and will be paid by Wolf America,” the company said, adding that parts are stocked in Wisconsin.

Storm Equipment hosted its 2026 Storm Field Day July 29–30, 2026, in Mankato, Minn. STORM from page 86
Attendees also had the opportunity to visit Storm Academy during an expanded open house and operate equipment firsthand. Based on feedback from previous years, Storm Equipment expanded its equipment demonstration area to allow attendees to experience Storm products, as well as its vendors’ products. Beyond the educational sessions, Field Day provided opportunities for attendees to connect through networking events and additional activities throughout the two-day gathering, including a golf outing, women’s luncheon, welcome dinner and happy hour. Storm Equipment designed Storm Field Day around a simple goal: bringing the industry together to share knowledge, build relationships and help raise the standard for professional snow and ice management, according to the company. Rather than focusing solely on equipment, it wanted to create an environment where contractors could learn from one another, discuss real-world challenges and take ideas back to their own operations. The continued growth of Field Day reflects the demand for more opportunities for collaboration and education within the snow and ice industry. For Storm Equipment, the event is an extension of its broader commitment to helping contractors improve their operations and advance the future of the industry, said the company.

Route 66: ACPA Awards Pavement Award in Oklahoma ROUTE from page 66
Core History
In New Mexico, the asphalt industry is drilling into Route 66 and extracting the road’s history, Mike O’Leary said. The goal is to recycle the materials. “Extract a core, and along with the road mix and asphalt, you’ll see chip seals and new recycled mixes that go on top of them,” he said. “You might also see macadam, and an asphaltic mix of a couple of inches.” Asphalt and aggregates have become valuable. On Highway 6, part of the original Route 66 alignment, workers use milling machines to recycle the pavement in place. “It’s cost-effective,” O’Leary said. “They lay it down on the same spot. It’s a full-circle use of our assets. In the past we threw that away.” A Route 66 aficionado himself, O’Leary said he’ll be making a trip on the highway later this year, taking to the road in his 1937 Chevrolet. Back when his car came off the assembly line, laying asphalt was a more rudimentary operation. “In the West, making a hot mix plant on site was unusual. So, they’d lay aggregate on a stretch of pavement and poured on liquid asphalt. It got the traveling public out of the mud.”
Awards
Route 66 was decommissioned in 1985, having been supplanted by the Interstate Highway System. In the West, Interstate 40 replaced Route 66. But the old road didn’t disappear. In 1999, the American Concrete Pavement Association presented a Lifetime Pavement Award to Route 66 in Oklahoma, according to
Roads & Bridges. com. Citing the award, Neal McCaleb, then U.S. “We had engineering principles from the railroads, but we didn’t secretary of transportation, said the section was “clearly built to last.” necessarily have those engineering principles for vehicles,” he “This slab has borne the wheels of commerce for over 65 years, and continued. “There’s a lot of things that we had to develop.” is still functional, as are the 400 miles of Route 66 that remain a part of Martin said, “Route 66 was a victim of its own success.” States the fabric of our state highway system today,” he added, according to promoted it.

Skillit Revolutionizes Recruitment of Skilled Workers JOBS from page 58
in announcing the partnership. “Having strategic partners … is a strong signal that the industry is ready for, and consolidating around, a new category of AI-powered craft hiring infrastructure.” Patterson said the construction industry is entering an era where workforce infrastructure is as critical as project management, procurement, and scheduling. “As a self-performing contractor, we understand firsthand how complex and dynamic the skilled craft labor needs are,” said Eric Lamb, DPR Construction board member. Lamb said Skillit’s platform reflects that direction as its AI-powered infrastructure helps DPR teams connect with talent in the skilled trades. DPR supports an approach “that expands access to meaningful work and drives more predictable outcomes for our project teams and their customers,” he added. Jit Kee Chin, CTO of Suffolk Construction, said Skillit is addressing a critical gap in the industry with purpose-built technology. “Construction’s workforce challenges require new infrastructure and smarter systems,” said Chin, managing partner of Suffolk Technologies.

Data centers are a single hyper-skill project requiring thousands of workers over a very short time. The project scales are enormous, which heightens the need for equipment operators, electricians, welders and other skilled construction workers in a very short period of time.
Skillit’s technology is designed “for the realities of construction hiring and labor deployment,” Chin added. “As labor becomes the industry’s most constrained resource, the ability to attract and deploy skilled talent will increasingly define the winners and losers in construction,” he said. Skillit is creating the talent network for 80 percent of workers who don’t sit behind a
desk, said Diana Kay, Suffolk Technologies partner. In an era defined by renewed investment in physical industries, this fundamentally changes how labor is found, mobilized and managed.” Skillit also is being tapped by dozens in the construction sector, including Swinerton, Mortenson and Brasfield & Gorrie Industries. These relationships further support the
company’s continued growth across the built world, said Patterson. He believes the challenge for skilled craft workers going through traditional recruiting channels is a lack of “first-principle thinking” on the part of the recruiters. Until now, “they didn’t have the insight into the fact that there’s not a shortage but an access problem,” he said. Recruiters, union hall conversations and word-of-mouth referrals don’t target the enterprise contractors who do 70 percent of the infrastructure work. He said until they find Skillit, customers are using online sites like Indeed or job boards and recruiters. “It’s not a great solution for all the points mentioned,” he said. “Many are using staffing agencies,” he added. “But that gets expensive if you’re scaling a data center project. Multiply that by 15 to 30 workers’ first year wages.” Furthermore, said Patterson, word-ofmouth and employee referrals can actually be a double-edged sword. “You hire a supervisor who comes with five workers. That works out great until the supervisor leaves and leaves with those five workers. It’s not a great strategy for now or for the future as America scales its AI and data center infrastructure.” CEG
