Morgan Asphalt

Asphalt Roller Operator

May - August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I got to learn a lot of different areas within the trade. Since I was always curious and asking questions I started as a shoveler, then moved to raking, and ended up being the finish roller by the end of the summer. I also really liked that the job changed day to day from where we were paving to how the parking lot or driveway was designed. The company also treated me very professionally and cared how I was even though I started with one of the lowest positions in the company.

What I wish was different

Some type of compensation for driving costs to the job sites based on where the employee lives and not just from the office, for some of us that had to usually drive an extra 1-2 hrs each day.

Advice

I would say the importance of working hard and being reliable pays off. As well being invested in the work you do, and doing what you can to learn all about it and being the best you can for the company you work for no matter what your position is.
