While the winter weather has caused us to curtail construction operations in some of our markets, our employees have been using the down-time to receive valuable training on new pieces of equipment and best construction practices.
We provided safety training as directed by CSX Railroad that is required so we can work safely as we repair track crossings. We also had instructors come to our offices from Wirtgen America to train our employees on the newest reclaimers, milling machines and pavers Ruston Paving owns and operates. These classes taught our employees factory-recommended best practices for machine operation and maintenance, which allows them to effectively and efficiently utilize the equipment on the job.
