The gas tax, a source of revenue for U.S. infrastructure construction and maintenance, is threatened by both the growth in electric vehicle technology and a Congressional proposal l to suspend it for 2022.

Pain in the Wallet As Gas Taxes Dwindle From Electric Vehicle Use, Congress Looks for Solutions, Strategies By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

For all its faults, the Highway Trust Fund, funded through gas tax revenue, is the main financial support for America’s roads and bridges. It hasn’t increased with inflation — in fact, it hasn’t increased in almost 30 years — even as road and bridge conditions deteriorate. Despite the grim picture of U.S. infrastructure these days, the fund is under fire from several directions. The push is on at the federal and

state level to see more electric vehicles on America’s roads. But as the number of EVs grows, gas tax revenues shrink. Historically, Congress has relied on a general revenue transfer in the Highway Trust Fund to make up for the gap due to inflation. How will funds lost to EV technology be recouped? Pile on a Congressional bill floated this winter that would suspend the gas tax for 2022 and the infrastructure picture is even more dire. see FUNDING page 34

Five Equipment Manufacturing Trends to Watch in 2022 Both the immediate and long-term future of the equipment manufacturing industry will be defined by the development of a number of prominent trends, each of which are poised to have a significant impact in 2022 (and, in many cases, beyond). It’s critically important for equipment manufacturers to not only develop a keen understanding of these trends, but also how they will evolve over time. Perhaps most importantly, however, those within the industry must be able to assess their impact on equipment manufacturing and the customers it serves. So, with that fact in mind, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers looked at five key trends poised to impact equipment manufacturers this year. Workforce Challenges, Solutions When it comes to workforce, 2021 has proven that doing what we’ve always done will no longer get us what we used to get, according to Julie Davis, AEM senior director of workforce and industry initiatives. “Demographic research shows that employment challenges are not going to return to what they have been pre-pandemic. If anything, the pandemic acted as an accelerator that took labor force trends already sneaking up on the industry and exploded them into a new reality. “The most significant trends include the shift from a baby boomer pre-pandemic drift towards retirement to a pandemic mass exodus of retirements. Second, a labor force participation rate that was declining since 1980 dropped to record lows with 2.4 million women leaving the workforce, fewer millennials seeking careers of their own, working age males increasing preferring part-time over full-time work, and an opioid epidemic siphoning off prime-age men by the hundreds of thousands per year. “Finally, we have to recognize that the U.S. birthrate has been steadily declining, hitting a 35-year low in 2019, according to census data. With fewer and fewer people available, the labor market will continue to tighten,” Davis said. “If you are looking to immigration as a solution, be cautious, as the same decline in birth rate is happening in countries we typically look to for sources of immigrant labor.” So, what can companies that have been willing to be curious teach us? “First, if your HR department says they are ‘doing everything they can,’ consider it a red flag. The war for talent is being won by HR departments whose mantra has become, ‘What else can we do?’ Being curious includes evaluating and offering competitive compensation, meaningful benefits, potential career development opportunities and, most of all, flexible work,” Davis said.

The employee experience needs to be reconsidered, much like we’ve analyzed the customer experience in the past. Important considerations include: • Streamlining the application process • Meaningful onboarding • Mental health supports • Opportunities for upskilling • Internal career path or debt-free education In addition, hourly workers want flexibility, even if they have to show up in person. Creative companies are finding ways to provide flexibility and predictability in scheduling to support health and wellness, childcare and caregiving responsibilities, Davis said. Bipartisanship At the close of 2021, federal lawmakers delivered a long-awaited holiday gift to the American people — passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (commonly known as the “bipartisan infrastructure bill”). “While many were elated at the congressional approval and enactment of the bill (AEM included), we were — and still are — frustrated and disillusioned with the time it took to get the job done,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM senior vice president of government and industry relations. “In a recent op-ed in Real Clear Politics, I shared how the unnecessarily drawn-out and overly political infrastructure debate spells trouble for our country. So what can be done in order to end the petty partisan squabbling during a critically important election year? One word: bipartisanship. “While the infrastructure bill has been signed into law, much work remains to be done. Now it is up to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Biden’s recently appointed infrastructure czar, the former mayor of New Orleans Mitch Landrieu, to work with state and local governments to smooth the rollout and ensure the successful implementation of the $1.2 trillion bill. “And the work doesn’t stop at infrastruc-

tices and efficient lines of communication to ensure information can effectively travel from one end of the supply chain to the OEMs. The industry has not yet found all the answers, but this will be a very important issue for 2022 and beyond.”

ture. We need our elected officials at the state and federal level to put policy ahead of politics and advance pro-growth economic policies that will ensure the long-term growth and prosperity of the equipment manufacturing industry. Lawmakers must also make investments to help attract, train and retain the next generation of skilled workers to address our industry’s growing workforce needs. “Finally, we need commonsense policies that will help revitalize American manufacturing, bolster rural communities across our country and reenergize the U.S. economy,” Eideberg said. Supply Chain Management In 2021, off-road, heavy-duty equipment industry stakeholders found themselves dealing with a relatively new concept for U.S. manufacturers: chemical management issues. “On Jan. 6 of last year, the EPA announced its Final Rule regarding the prohibition on introducing Phenol, Isopropylated, phosphate (3:1) into commerce. This ban on a commonly used flame retardant struck the equipment manufacturing industry especially hard,” said Jason Malcore, AEM director of global standards and compliance. “Overnight, a wide swath of economic actors needed to rewire their manufacturing and design processes, and perhaps most importantly, learn how to manage a wide ranging, deep and complex global supply chain, not familiar with the needs of tracking chemical components. “Managing supply chains, communicating chemical requirements, educating suppliers and managing data will be the only way to meet the coming challenges. “With the size and complexity of the global off-road, heavy-duty equipment manufacturing industry, meeting this challenge will be an enormous task. To achieve this goal, industry stakeholders will need to work together to establish new industry best prac-

COVID-19, Employee Safety As we enter 2022, COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the manufacturing industry. While we have developed health and safety protocols and best practices to combat the virus, COVID-19 has done what viruses do best — change and evolve, Sara Feuling, AEM senior director of construction, said. “Thankfully, the manufacturing industry continues to change and evolve right along with it, adapting to new CDC guidelines, OSHA regulations, and local mask and vaccine mandates to keep business owners and their employees safe. “If the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that our industry remains strong and resilient, even in times of tremendous uncertainty. The pandemic has affected the way we do business, our economic outlook, our supply chain and, maybe most importantly, our workforce. “All this change will come to an end eventually. Until that happens, we will need to keep adapting to keep our industry safe,” Feuling said. Leveraging Data for Better Decisions, Traceability in Agriculture Now more than ever, farmers are operating on the notion of doing more with less. Whether this is because they must deal with resource constraints or are now expected to because of societal pressures, we are seeing this happen, said Austin Gellings, AEM agriculture services manager. “As AEM showed early in 2021 with the release of the Environmental Benefits of Precision Ag Study, technology has brought us a long way and still leaves a lot of room to grow. However, data is the key to accomplishing this goal even further. “Data enables farmers to make better decisions for the year based on the 4R principle of right rate, right place, right time and right source. Thus, using historical data to make decisions on what to apply where and when. “Farmers have been doing this for years, but with costs of fertilizer and other on farm inputs on the rise utilization of this data has never been more important. It can also help provide input into other areas of the farm to increase efficiencies there as well,” Gellings said. For more information, visit www.aem.org. 

United States” (WOTUS) under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). The term WOTUS governs how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) decide which water bodies are subject to federal authority. Under the Trump Administration’s 2020 NWPR, roadside ditches were not subject to federal oversight. Roadside ditches act as a conduit for draining water from roads under construction — an essential safety feature of road projects. Withdrawing the NWPR will delay many infrastructure projects, running counter to the goals of last year’s bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), ARTBA said. In Feb. 7 comments to the EPA, ARTBA said the proposal “will trigger additional CWA permitting requirements due to its expansion in jurisdiction, with associated time and costs. On the public agency side, an increase in individual permit applications could overwhelm staff, thus further exacerbating the delays in permitting. This is an unfortunate case of conflicting policy objectives, although largely avoidable by leaving the NWPR in place. ARTBA assumes that no federal agency would want its bureaucratic obstinance to be cited as a reason the IIJA did not fulfill its promise.” ARTBA also urged EPA and the Corps to pause their rulemaking because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to hear the case (Sackett vs. EPA.) The Court’s decision in that case is expected towards the end of the year and will have a major impact on federal CWA jurisdiction. “By proceeding now,” ARTBA noted, “the agencies risk promulgating a rule that will require an almost immediate rewrite, along with expenditure of additional resources to do so, and continued lack of clarity in the meantime.” For more information, visit www.artba.org. 

Hughes, TEC Take On Tough Jobs With Specialized Machines When you see the trucks and machines for Mobile, Ala.based Hughes Plumbing and Utility Contractors Inc rolling from site to site along the Gulf Coast, what comes to mind is another plumbing and underground utility installation job. The second thought and question that probably comes to mind is why are the machines so big for this type of work? Preston W. Hughes III, owner of Hughes Plumbing and Utility Contractors, has been on a rapid rise in the size and scope of his jobs from the company’s inception in 1996. Starting from a small-scaled company, Hughes has built up his operation and now has subsidiary companies that complement his current projects. Partnering with a reliable equipment distributor has been an important role in the company’s growth. Hughes choice has continued to be Tractor & Equipment Company (TEC). With ongoing projects at McDuffie Island Coal Terminal and Pinto Island, Ala., Hughes currently is utilizing a pair of Komatsu machines on some rather specialized work for the Alabama State Port Authority. One of the machines is a fairly new Komatsu PC 290LC machine with a Wilco Manufacturing amphibious undercarriage and a Young Corporation long reach boom/stick configuration with a 1.25 cu. yd. bucket. Not your average machine for a plumbing and utilities company. The other Komatsu machine on the site is a tried-and-true PC 300LC that Hughes has owned for more than 15 years and that has been working in a tough environment with an Add-A-Boot stick extension and a 72 in. bucked for material stock piling. On this site, coal is offloaded from rail cars onto ship containers. The coal dust and small particles that fall to the ground and gather near the rail lines eventually washes into various areas on the island from storm water and is periodi-

cally pumped into designated holding ponds. The coal eventually settles out of the storm water and is removed from the ponds to be stock piled, dried, processed, then eventually sold as an alternative source of fuel. The other phase of stockpiling and removal of material is for dredge management on the islands. The dredge material management areas (DMMA) are created from the dredged material that is pumped from the port into this area. This includes soil and any other materials that have washed into the port and have essentially raised the bottom of the river. With many of the container ships coming into port and drafting at 50 ft., depth has to be monitored very closely. Hughes started working with the Port Authority in 2019 at its Pinto Island facility removing and hauling away its see HUGHES page 62

TEC Names Pettit Its New President, Stracener as CEO

3570 Dickerson Pike • Nashville, TN 37207

(615) 865-7800

www.parmantractor.com

Recently, Tractor and Equipment Company (TEC) promoted two longtime employees to new roles. DeVaughn Pettit took over the position of president from Chad Stracener, who is now the company’s CEO. “My top priority as CEO is focusing on our customers’ product support experience,” said Stracener. “We have a great responsibility to our customers to support the products we provide to them. We will continue to invest in our capabilities and search for new ways to partner with our customers.” Stracener began working for TEC during high school, spending summers in the parts and service departments. After graduating college, Stracener joined TEC full time in 2004. He spent the last 18 years working his way up through multiple departments before getting promoted to CEO. “I’ve built personal relationships with our customers and understand how each department directly affects their business,” said Stracener. “Our new president, DeVaughn Pettit, has a similar background and understands our company from top to bottom. He is a high-character, high-integrity individual that positively impacts our day-to-day operations.” Pettit has spent 23 years with TEC, most recently as the senior vice president and general manager of Georgia. “Our customers know that I’ll get in the trenches with them because I’m a boots-on-the-ground type of guy,” said Pettit. “I put our customers’ needs first. Whether it’s a late-night phone call or driving them a part, I’ll do what it takes to keep them running. “TEC has a nearly 80-year history that is built on relationships,” continued Pettit. “As president, I’m able to continue building relationships with current and new customers throughout TEC’s entire footprint. My goal is to help our customers grow and overcome any changes, challenges or demands that come their way.” TEC’s board of directors was responsible for promoting Stracener and Pettit. The board includes Ed Christian, Dan Stracener, Chad Stracener, Jeremy Tolbert, Brett Bussman, DeVaughn Pettit and Jamie Steele. 

James River Equipment Teams Up With Dream On 3 On Jan. 29, Dream On 3, a charity dedicated to creating sports-related experiences for children and young adults with life-altering conditions, held its 3rd Annual Gala. The event, which was packed with more than 700 attendees at Founders Hall in Charlotte, N.C., ended with smiles all around after revealing the total of $1,111,879 in donations this year, the most they’ve ever made. Dream On 3 was founded in 2012 by Brandon and Elizabeth Lindsey. At the time, Brandon was employed by Martin Marietta Aggregates and now works for Hoopaugh Grading Company, one of the largest and fastest-growing

licensed grading contractors in the Charlotte Metro Area. After having an idea while in a weekly production meeting, he shared his thoughts with Elizabeth and they were both inspired to make a difference in families’ lives. Through his contacts within the construction industry, he was able to gain support and make kids’ dreams come true. Since the first three dreams granted in 2013, the organization has made more than 70 dreams come true and expanded into the Atlanta, D.C., and Denver areas. Dream On 3 creates a unique, multi-day experience tailored for each Dream Kid and their favorite athlete, team or

Because of all the great sponsors, James River Equipment won the “Queen City Business of the Year Award”, an award given to the business that raised the most significant amount.

sporting event. In addition, the Dream Kids’ favorite foods and activities are included during the experience for some added fun. Each Dream Experience begins with a V.I.P. send-off before they are whisked away to kickoff their multi-day experience. James River Equipment (JRE) was introduced to Dream On 3 five years ago when Hoopaugh Grading Company shared the wonderful things they were doing for all children with life-altering challenges. Through fundraising efforts such as a clay shoot and a 5K walk/run/bike, silent auction and partner donations, JRE raised more than $400,000 to create experiences of joy, hope and encouragement for children with life-altering conditions through the world of sports. Because of all the great sponsors, James River Equipment won the “Queen City Business of the Year Award”, an award given to the business that raised the most significant amount. Terry Thomas, executive vice president at JRE, accepted the award on behalf of JRE and was passionately involved in the fundraising process. “They understand how kids look up to their sports heroes and how getting VIP treatment and being able to spend time with these heroes can make them forget about their troubles for just a couple of days,” Thomas said. James River send a special thanks to partners and sponsors: Steve Fleming; Yarbrough Transfer Company (Brent Jacques); Morbark LLC (Jeanne Maddox); Todd Bowman; Diamond Mowers (Cindy Newman); Concrete Supply; HGC; and supporters, DR Horton; Ecoverse; Epiroc; Rockland Manufacturing Co.; Tag Manufacturing Inc.; Wirtgen America Inc.; Bergmann Americas; Storm Karlsen (FSG); Hoopaugh Grading Company LLC; Data Directions Inc.; Windstream; Felco; Adkins Truck Equipment Company; and Blair Construction.

Nashville Pauses Upgrades, Considers New NFL Stadium Negotiations for $600 million in upgrades to Nissan Stadium in Nashville have been paused as recent studies show extensive renovations are needed beyond what was expected, officials told the Tennessean. The NFL’s Tennessee Titans and Metro Nashville may scrap their plans to renovate the 23-year-old stadium, and instead build an entirely new home for the team on the east bank of the Cumberland River. The decision comes after recent construction and design studies revealed that key structural elements need to be fully replaced. Earlier research neglected to account for new structural pipes, windows and other extensive upgrades needed, the newspaper reported Feb. 18. Instead of a $600 million renovation, the pro football team and the city are now discussing a new stadium with a price tag of at least $1.2 billion. Metro and Titans officials have been planning a major redesign of the entire east bank for more than a year, across the river from downtown Nashville. They envision a new neighborhood surrounding the Titans home with an entertainment district like Wrigleyville, near Chicago’s Wrigley Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Cubs. Beyond that, more than 200 acres of land at the Nashville site is slated for redevelopment into a new neighborhood in place of an old industrial area mostly filled with surface parking lots. Initial estimates that the stadium needed $600 million to be upgraded to a “world-class” facility on par with cities like Miami were farther off than expected. “What we’ve discovered most recently is that the stadium has a lot more infrastructure needs than we originally anticipated,” Titans spokesperson Kate Guerra told the Nashville news source. “For example, the stadium’s structural frame was built with concrete and needs to be largely replaced with steel.” The added costs also include complete replacements of the mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems, she said. Titans Now Weighing Their Options The revelation caused the Titans to take a break from negotiations with Mayor John Cooper as they take a step back to think about their options. “When you consider the present and future needs of our current stadium, it’s possible that another path, such as a new, modern stadium that could better serve its community’s

The NFL’s Tennessee Titans and Metro Nashville may scrap their plans to renovate the 23-year-old stadium, and instead build an entirely new home for the team on the east bank of the Cumberland River.

needs, might be a more responsible option to explore,” Guerra said. Cooper said Metro and the Titans are “evaluating the costs and benefits of multiple scenarios for the future of Nissan Stadium.” “Revised cost estimates require us to closely review whether a new stadium would be a better long-term financial decision for Nashville,” Cooper explained in a statement. “We won’t settle for anything but the best-case scenario for [the city].” Guerra said the Titans “remain committed to our original mission: find an elegant solution to upgrade the stadium to first-class, NFL-quality standards and remove Nashville’s general fund from stadium business once and for all through a re-imagination our current lease structure, which as it stands today, puts the burden of an aging stadium’s costs on the city and Nashville’s general taxpayer.” Metro Council member Brett Withers, who serves District 6 where Nissan Stadium is located, said the possibility of investing in a new facility may be more cost-effective in the

long run, given the way the current stadium was constructed and its advanced age. “You are looking at either investing in a stadium that doesn’t even meet today’s standards, hope that you can renovate it somewhat, and have it last [another] 20 or 30 years, which seems unlikely, or take the same funds to build a new [facility], which would make more sense,” he said. A new stadium also could be constructed closer to Interstate 24, which Withers said is “really appropriate from a planning standpoint and helps us to build a better riverfront, particularly if we’re adding residential [developments].” Construction on Nissan Stadium began in 1997, before opening just in time for the 1999 NFL season. The cost, at that time, to build the stadium was $290 million, a fraction of what the outlay is now for new NFL arenas.

Previously, World of Asphalt 2016 in Nashville took over 150,000 sq. ft. of the Music City Center. This year, more than 197,000 sq. ft. of exhibits have completely filled the main exhibition hall. “World of Asphalt has never had a waiting list for exhibitors like this before. The asphalt

pavement industry is eager to get back together in person to share and learn,” said Brittany Weltcheff, World of Asphalt show manager. “On top of that, attendee registrations are pacing on track, attendees are eager to get together and hotel space is filling up, so we know this is going to be a positive experience for asphalt paving professionals of all backgrounds and experience levels.” The 400 exhibitors feature hundreds of different products and services spread over fifteen different product categories from aggregates processing and asphalt paving to

underground construction and vegetation management. These industry leading companies will be meeting with a mix of field operators, executives and fleet managers on the show floor. Add the 150 education sessions available between the People, Plants and Paving Conference at World of Asphalt and the AGG1 Academy, and asphalt paving pros at every level of the industry have something to gain by attending. At the last World of Asphalt, 95 percent of attendees surveyed rated their experience as

either “good” or “excellent.” “This is the first chance the complete asphalt paving and aggregate industry has had to come together in person since 2019,” said Audrey Copeland, president and CEO of NAPA, majority-owner of the show. “There is a lot to catch up on, whether you’re talking about equipment, techniques, safety or business best practices. That’s why we have put so much effort into making World of Asphalt 2022 the best show we’ve ever put together.” For more information on World of Asphalt, visit www.WorldOfAsphalt.com. 

$278M Rockingham Bypass Under Way in North Carolina Recognizing the need to preserve the physical quality of interstate roadways in Richmond County, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has embarked on a multiyear project constructing an access-controlled, four-lane, median-divided freeway on United States 74 Business interchange west of Rockingham to Harrington Road. The 7.2-mi. route will be designated as U.S. 220/future Interstate 73/74 when completed. This forms part of a 25-corridor network moving large volumes of traffic within and outside the state and considered integral to the area’s economic development. This also will help reduce congestion and improve safety for interstate traffic in these parts. The project, which began in 2019 and is expected to be completed in late 2024, is divided into three sections for construction and funding purposes. The first, referred to as Section A, is from U.S. 74 Bypass West of Rockingham at Zion Church Road interchange to 0.3 mi. south of Old Charlotte Highway. Section B is from 0.3 mi. south of Old Charlotte Highway to north of Harrington Road. And lastly, Section C from north of Harrington Road to the I-73/74/U.S. 220 Interchange south of Ellerbe. Section C is complete while construction in

Sections A and B is currently under way. “The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2024, about a year beyond the original completion date of November 2023. This is due to construction plan revisions related to unforeseen subsurface conditions,” said Aaron Moody, public information officer of NCDOT’s communications office. Six 12-ft. travel lanes and a 60-ft. median will be constructed to upgrade the existing U.S. 74 Bypass between west of Zion Church Road and the U.S. 74 Business interchange. Four 12-ft. travel lanes with a 70- ft. median will form the new highway section between the business interchange and U.S. 220 interchange. New interchanges are planned at U.S. 74/U.S. 74 Business, Cartledge Creek Road and U.S. 220 near Sandy Ridge Church Road and grade separations (bridges separating interesting roads/railroads) at Old Charlotte Highway and Harrington Road. The need for improvements along U.S. 220 was recognized a few years ago when a feasibility study exploring alternatives was published. With feedback received from area residents, government groups and other resource agencies, two of those alternatives were then considered for further evaluation, to understand the environmental impacts of

undertaking such a project. A public hearing afforded review from residents and officials after which the Rockingham Bypass, found to not have a significant impact on the environment, was signed by NCDOT and the Federal Highway Administration in February 2002. I-73 and I-74 are part of the Strategic Transportation Corridors multimodal network where they are identified as Corridor F and Corridor H, respectively. There are 25 such corridors that form the core of the network experiencing large traffic volumes within and outside the state, connecting centers of economic activity. Funding, at an estimated cost of $278 million (development and design, property acquisition and construction costs), is through BUILD NC bond funds and NCDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which currently identifies 1,718 projects across the state to receive funding between 2020 and 2029. BUILD NC is a financing tool for NCDOT’s critical road projects that do not qualify for a similar federal funding tool. “The project is about 40 percent complete, and the contractor is focused on mass earth roadway excavation as well as construction of five bridge sites,” said Moody. “They are see BYPASS page 58

Muskox Eyes Market Expansion for Snowblower Attachment Muskox photo

By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT

For many in the design and architecture industries, less is more is a mantra. For the Bergmans, that principle held true with the October 2020 launch of their Muskox bi-directional snowblower attachment. Taking a wellknown industry pain point and creating a streamlined solution has allowed the Minnesota-based company to find great success in the last few months, despite launching during the pandemic. “My father Ron, who is also my partner, was doing snow removal at his shop — he was using two different attachments to do it,” said Adam Bergman, co-founder at Muskox. “He had the idea of combining those machines, so he’d only have to use one attachment. My background had been as a real estate investor, and we do snow removal on all our rental property.

One of the biggest pain points we had was the shoveling in front of garage doors.” Adam saw the potential for not just shops but also homeowners’ associations to use such a solution. Prototyping began in spring 2017 and finetuning the product over the next few years included a hydraulic slip clutch and redesigning the bottom of the machine to incorporate a glide plate to avoid accidents on grass or gravel surfaces. “Whether you're an 8-year-old or an 80-year-old, you understand the challenge with existing snow blowers of needing to shovel in front of garage doors, it’s a universal problem,” said Adam. “When you see ours where you have that opportunity to back drag and blow at the same time, you instantly see the value and what makes our product different.” In 2020, Muskox won first place in Northwest Minnesota

The 22-78 Muskox bi-directional snowblower attachment’s back drag feature, for which the Bergmans received the patent in spring 2021, allows operators to blow snow while back dragging in front of obstructions, saving time and money, and lowering any chance of injuries by decreasing the manual labor typically involved in the process. The lowered chute, a result of the finetuning process, also is better for operator visibility.

Foundation’s IDEA Competition receiving a $15,000 cash award and another $5,000 in professional services in recognition of its innovative product. The 22-78 Muskox bi-directional snowblower attachment’s back drag feature, for which the Bergmans received the patent in spring 2021, allows operators to blow snow while back dragging in front of obstructions, saving time and money, and lowering any chance of injuries by decreasing the manual labor typically involved in the process. The lowered chute, a result of the finetuning process, is also better for operator visibility. The 78-in. machine is available as a single auger and dual auger, but Muskox is looking at expanding into additional sizes. They turned to operators at snow removal companies to test the product. “We've had a lot of positive feedback from operators letting us

know where they would like to see our next steps go,” said Adam. “We are operators building for operators. We've had a lot of requests for different sizing on machines both smaller and larger.” The core team at Muskox consists of co-founder Adam, managing business development, marketing, and financing; his father Ron, a retired engineer from Artic Cat Snowmobiles — where he did research and development on snowmobiles for more than 30 years — who heads engineering, research and development done inhouse; and Adam’s younger brother Noah, who handles the production and shipping. All manufacturing occurs at the company’s location in Mentor, Minn., and business offices are in Grand Forks, N.D. Muskox is 100 percent made in the United States, offers one-year warranty on all non-wearable parts and stocks inventory to ship to customers for

repairs. “When we first started, we were doing R&D out of my dad’s 2,000square-foot personal shop. In fall/summer 2021, we rented roughly about a 5,000-square-foot shop space that we moved into and that's currently where we do the assembly of the product. We’ve had a successful season and we’re continuing to expand the business, there's going to be opportunity for growth and potential expansion into a larger facility,” said Adam. Approximately 90 percent of Muskox sales are direct-to-consumer while the rest are in partnership with RDO Equipment, through which Muskox is sold in 36 different locations. In 2021, Muskox was sold in 16 states in the United States and two provinces in Canada. Consumers include those buying for personal use at their shop or farm, smaller operators focusing on driveways and resisee MUSKOX page 30

Muskox has found its strength in its online presence, building a loyal following online. “We have created all of our own YouTube videos breaking down how we have a service manual that's available on the internet so consumers can go online at any time, and they'll find a library of videos showing not only how to use the product, best practices, but also any type of maintenance and repairs,” said Adam, who offers virtual demos of the equipment every Wednesday at 11 a.m. Central and is on Facebook Live and YouTube. “This gives us a chance to interact with people that are interested in the product. We show the product in use live, we’re able to perform with the machine according to the questions they asked. We also can flip the camera over inside the cab and run it from the operator’s perspective. It's been a lot of positive feedback with it.” There are, of course, pros and cons to an online-first approach. “Probably just keeping up with the demand of the product,” said Adam. “The internet really exposes you quickly, it can be your best friend, but also can have some real challenges because you’re going to be held accountable a lot faster on a much larger platform. We’ve been able to embrace that, but the growth of the company has exponen-

tially exceeded our expectations. We’re very proud that we have built this business with a strong foundation from engineering to marketing to branding and product in 15 months and are looking forward to growing and having a strong future based on that foundation that's been established.”  CEG

States Scramble to Fill Gas Tax Funding Gap Caused By EVs FUNDING from page 1

“At the end of the day, this is the user fee system paying for our infrastructure,” said Alex Etchen, the AGC’s senior director of government affairs — infrastructure advancement. “Doing away with it would make the method of paying for roads and bridges even harder. There’s an insolvency gap; getting rid of it will only make the problem more challenging.” The Gap Is Widening Expecting to see more electric, hybrid and alternative-fuel cars on the road in the years to come, officials at the state level are working on a solution to build and repair their infrastructure. Though it doesn’t produce the same federal and state revenues, driving an electric vehicle has the same impact on roads in terms of wear and tear. “In terms of revenue sources, you have the gas tax, the diesel tax, the excise tax on heavy trucks and the tire tax,” said Etchen. “The gas tax is the biggest source, but it hasn’t been indexed for inflation.” The gas tax has remained at 18 cents a gallon, and Etchen imagines the country has lost purchasing power as a result of inflation. Congress has relied on general revenue transfer to make up for that gap. But at the same time, there’s a $756 billion backlog in road and bridge repair. “You factor in now the fact that electric vehicles make up 2 to 4 percent of the U.S. vehicle fleet. There are all kinds of electric vehicle mandates at the state level. That solvency gap is going to grow rapidly over the next decade or so.” The imbalance is worrisome. The infrastructure bill helps attack the backlog, but the new challenge will be making sure EV infrastructure is covered. “State and local governments need to start

Though taxes are levied for diesel fuel, heavy trucks and tires, the gas tax is the biggest source of revenue for America’s roads and bridges. It’s lost purchasing power as a result of inflation.

investing in this infrastructure,” he said. “EVs are currently not paying anything to address these issues.” Closing the Gap The ongoing losses as a result of infrastructure deterioration and inflation were enough to spur Congress to create a national surface transportation infrastructure commission.

Currently, electric vehicles are not paying enough to address the need for infrastructure to support the technology. The IIJA addresses the maintenance backlog, but states will have to invest in EV infrastructure.

Part of the 2005 SAFETEA-LU surface transportation bill, the commission was tasked with analyzing future highway and transit needs to make recommendations on alternative approaches to financing transportation infrastructure. The commission highlighted direct user fees as the most viable financing option. “It also recommended a vehicle-miles traveled [VMT] fee,” said Etchen.

State officials across the country are working on solutions to make up for revenue lost to electric vehicles and other alternative fuel technology. Though these technologies don’t produce the same federal and state revenues as gas, they have the same impact on road wear and tear.

“In the FAST Act of 2015, the highway bill provided $95 million to undertake pilot programs on how an EV fee would work,” he added. “The IIJA, in addition to funding for infrastructure, has a national VMT pilot program. It would address how to get EVs to pay and it would address AVs as well.” He said this pilot program follows the simple premise that if you use the system you pay into the system. Many states have fees in place to cover the gap. User fees, licensing fees and registration fees are being implemented or floated, depending on the number of EVs on state roads currently. “I think some ideas being implemented at the state and local level include an annual fee for owning an EV to ensure owners are paying something into the maintenance of roads and bridges,” said Etchen. “There are driver’s license fee proposals, annual registration fees, various other related fees. All have pros and cons. Right now, the one Congress seems to be studying hard is VMT.” The state of Kansas, at the bottom of the list in both number of EVs on the road and the infrastructure supporting them, is eyeing the road usage model for EVs in its state. Officials are surveying residents as well as ag and commercial trucking entities where the move to EVs is expected to grow. see FUNDING page 58

D Rock Grizzly Can Help Customers ‘Get the Most Pay Out’ of Their Dirt By Katherine Petrik CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Sorting rocks and debris from soil can be a big project. Large materials can damage a screen, so many contractors use a rock grizzly to separate or pre-screen dirt and rocks. A grizzly is made up of steel bars side by side set at a certain distance apart for whatever size material needs to be sorted. Small material falls between the bars into the cleanout box, while larger material rolls off the front. Grizzly’s are popular for sorting landscaping material and for removing big rocks from the pitrun when building roads. Jeff Wagoner, owner of D Rock Grizzly, saw the need for a heavyduty grizzly when friends of his who own a pit and excavation business Jeff Wagoner, owner of D Rock Grizzly, saw the need for a heavy-duty needed a grizzly. This led Wagoner to grizzly when friends of his who own a pit and excavation business realize that he could make and sell needed a grizzly. them. In 2017, he struck out to make a machine that would “get the most pay out of your dirt.” “I began building them in my dad's pole barn until I had enough money to set up a shop by my house,” said Wagoner. “We started there and began to get more and more orders each year.” According to Wagoner, nobody in the midwest was building a quality grizzly that would last to the harsh conditions of sorting rocks, asphalt millings, recycling concrete or cleaning up dirt with large rocks in it. His challenge was to build a product that people could trust to get the job done to last for years. “We build high-quality, strong rock grizzlys coupled with an unforgettable customer experience,” said Wagoner. “We have quickly become known for D-Rock Grizzly builds static rock separators for rock quarries, grav- our attention to detail and never comel pits, recyclers and landowners and currently is offering six stan- promising on quality and durability.” dard models to serve any size equipment.

Husqvarna Introduces New Range of DXR Demolition Robots Husqvarna Construction is strengthening its offer to demolition professionals with the launch of a new range of demolition robots — the DXR 145, DXR 275, DXR 305 and DXR 315. The new range of demolition robots offer more power and more control, which means users can take their skills to a whole new level. The four new DXR models offer, on average, a power increase above 20 percent when compared to previous models. This results in more effective and powerful machines that allow the user to get more demolition work done, faster, according to the company. Complementing this, the new machines have functionality that optimizes available power in a way that allows work to continue at high power levels, even if the task gets tougher due to circumstances — such as hot environments, for example. With an all new remote-control unit, precise operation is easier than ever. The new unit enables an improved overview of machine sta-

tus, which contributes to increased uptime and productivity. The long distance remote connection keeps the user safer and clear of any potential risks, enabling them to work in challenging areas with a

remote control range of up to 984 ft. Fredrik Linnell, global demolition director at Husqvarna Construction, said “Improving operator safety is our foremost priority. All our new DXR models are

third party certified in terms of safety, EMC and functional safety. At the same time, achieving highquality, fast results is literally in the user’s hands. “More than ever, these new

machines are an extension of the operator, increasing power and offering improved control over the factors that define how successful the job will be.” With various multi-tools and factory installed packages available, productivity and areas of application can be quickly enhanced. The new range also has been engineered to facilitate easier trouble shooting, reducing downtime even further. “We understand that demolition work can be hot, uncomfortable and demanding, so during development of our new DXR range, the focus has been on how we can make every working day safer, easier and more productive for the user,” Linnell said. “We believe the results speak for themselves and that demolition and construction professionals will appreciate the new intelligent tech, smooth operation and high levels of performance the new DXR range delivers.” For more information, visit www.husqvarnacp.com. 

D Rock Grizzly Custom Fabricates for Any Problem App GRIZZLY from page 40

D Grizzly can custom fabricate for any problem application.

Wagoner has more than 20 years of fabrication experience. “I first learned fabrication building short-course and desert off-road race trucks,” he said. “I started out cutting parts on a bandsaw, then worked my way to table welding in fixtures. Once I mastered the fixture welding, I was given the opportunity to build, design and weld the tube chassis and suspension components. I learned to have an eye for detail and perfection.” Wagoner then worked as a fabricator at a commercial trolley company full time for seven years and has been a fabricator and industrial sawmill equipment installer for nine years, building massive machines for sawing logs into boards. “With all these jobs I’ve traveled all over the United States and Mexico,” he said. D-Rock Grizzly builds static rock separators for rock quarries, gravel pits, recyclers and landowners, and currently is offering six standard models to serve any size equipment.

Customers can choose from its line of fixed bar, cleaning bar or fully adjustable models. D Rock Grizzly also can custom fabricate for any problem application. “We ship nationwide and have put together a dealer program to begin adding dealers across the country,” said Wagoner. Nicholas Stafford, owner of Stafford Boulders/Stafford Trucking in Mora, Minn., purchased D Rock Grizzly’s LR8 adjustable bar and HD model with removable cleaner. “I’ve been doing rock for 20 years and have seen other grizzlys. They don’t come close to the workmanship of D Rock Grizzly’s,” said Stafford. “We strongly believe in taking care of our clients,” said Wagoner. “Twenty-two percent of our grizzlys have gone to repeat customers. This percentage means the world to us as many customers have become friends. These relationships are irreplaceable.” For more information, visit drockgrizzly.com.  CEG

NTEA Releases 10th Annual 2022 Fleet Purchasing Outlook NTEA – The Association for the Work Truck Industry published its 10th annual Fleet Purchasing Outlook to showcase vehicle acquisition trends for the work truck industry. The insights provided by fleet professionals give the entire commercial vehicle community perspective on anticipated purchasing intent and areas of greatest interest to fleet managers. “Responses to the 2022 survey indicate fleet purchasing activity will focus more on replacement than expansion,” said Steve Carey, NTEA president and CEO. “This is consistent with expectations, given the fleet purchasing cycle peaked in 2018 to 2019 and that fleets continue to be challenged by the ability to obtain chassis.” NTEA gathers feedback from a wide variety of fleet professionals in mid- to high-level management with authority to make truck acquisition and vehicle specification decisions. Participants come from a wide range of fleet sizes, vehicle weight classes and vocational truck applications across the United States and Canada. Primary sectors featured in this analysis include government/municipal, construction, delivery and utility/telecom application markets. The report is based on Fleet Purchasing Outlook survey results, with data from previous years serving as a benchmark to establish trends and allow year-to-year comparisons. Report findings showcase: • Average truck age and replacement cycles • Macro-level buying tendencies

• Predicted change in fleet size • Main factors driving purchase behavior • Interest in advanced truck technologies and alternative fuels • Approach to safety and automation • Importance of financial purchasing incentives Fleet respondents report their most important management focus areas continue to include safety, maintenance costs, idle reduction and uptime (keeping drivers on the road). Other than acquisition costs, funding and lead times are among the biggest challenges faced in purchasing new trucks. Respondent feedback: • 49% — average truck age is increasing this year

• 29% — average truck age does not exceed normal replacement cycle • 75% — indicate an average truck age of 5 to 15 years (similar to levels reported last two years for this age range) • 57% — report current funding for planned acquisitions (a 7-percentage point increase from 2021 levels; response from fleets planning to acquire trucks in 2022) • 83% — purchasing decisions influenced by longer chassis lead times (response from fleets planning to acquire trucks in 2022) • 89% — plan to make at least some acquisitions in 2022 (this is in line with 2021) • 39% — anticipate procuring Class 7 vehicles in 2022 (response from fleets planning to acquire trucks in 2022) • 39% — anticipate acquiring more trucks in 2022 than in 2021 • 32% — plan to replace more than 10% of their trucks in 2022 (response from fleets planning to acquire trucks in 2022) • 39% — expect a fleet size expansion in the year ahead • 62% — making specification changes to enhance fuel economy and reduce fuel usage • 80% — do not expect a vehicle platform shift (response from fleets planning to acquire trucks in 2022) The 2022 Fleet Purchasing Outlook is a free report download available to NTEA members. Nonmembers can purchase for $199. For more information, visit ntea.com/fpo. 

Kenworth Introduces PACCAR TX-18, TX-18 Transmissions Kenworth introduced the PACCAR TX-18 and PACCAR TX-18 Pro automated transmissions for Class 8 heavy onhighway and select off-highway vocational applications. Both 18-speed transmissions build upon the efficiency of the PACCAR TX-12, which was designed to be the most efficient on-highway automated transmission. The PACCAR TX-18 offers additional capability for heavy on-highway use for applications, such as heavy haul transport. The PACCAR TX-18 Pro adds enhanced capabilities and unique features for extreme duty vocational applications and other select off-highway applications. The new transmissions are available with the Kenworth T680, T880 and W990 equipped with the PACCAR MX-13 and PACCAR MX-11 engines. Optimally engineered to operate with the PACCAR MX engine platform, the new TX-18 and TX-18 Pro transmissions maximize the full potential of all MX engine ratings, with maximums of 510 hp, 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque capacity and 140,000 lbs. of gross combination vehicle weight (GCVW). “Drivers will appreciate the versatility of the PACCAR TX-18 and PACCAR TX-18 Pro that deliver excellent lowspeed maneuverability. Both seasoned and new drivers will benefit from tailored configurations that help them get the job done, and new performance calibrations that expertly control transmission shift points,” said Jim Walenczak, Kenworth assistant general manager of sales and marketing. The new 18-speed ratio provides smooth shifting and consistent performance in a wide range of operating applications. The TX-18 has three reverse gears, and TX-18 Pro has six, which pairs well with deep axle ratios. Multiple reverse

gears allow for improved maneuverability around job sites. Both transmissions offer expanded high-capacity PTO functionality with an 8-bolt bottom mount and 4-bolt rear mount for a combined 160 hp capacity at 1,400 rpm. The transmissions are equipped with an internal oil temperature sensor. The sensor shows transmission temperatures on the in-cab 15-in. digital display and provides driver notifications in situations causing excessive temperatures. The TX-18 and TX18 Pro are standard with Kenworth’s driverfriendly column-mounted, right-hand shifter. The shifter places gear selection and engine brake controls at the driver’s fingertips for enhanced ergonomics, comfort and overall performance. On-highway maintenance intervals are 500,000 mi. or five years, and vocational intervals are 250,000 mi. or three years for the TX-18 and TX-18 Pro. The

transmissions utilize a maintenance-free clutch. The TX-18 and TX-18 Pro join Kenworth’s PACCAR transmissions lineup, which include the PACCAR TX-12 automated transmission for fuel efficient, on-highway applications and the PACCAR TX-8 automatic transmission standard on Kenworth’s new medium duty models.

Case Gives First Look Into Expanded Battery Electric Mini-Excavator Lineup Case Construction Equipment provided the first glimpse of an expanded mini excavator offering at the CNH Industrial Capital Markets Day event held on Feb. 22, 2022. in Miami Beach, Fla. The showcase included the first look at the Case CX15 EV (electric vehicle), an electric mini excavator with plans for the North American market in 2023.

The Case CX15 EV is a 2,900-lb. mini-excavator powered by a 16 kW electric motor — it features retractable tracks that get machine width down to approximately 31 in. for going through doors and working in confined spaces. It also can work very close to structures and obstacles with a minimum swing radius design. The 21.5 kWh lithium-ion battery is charged either by the 110V/220V onboard charger, or via an external rapid charger that can have the machine charged extremely fast, typically within 90 minutes. Depending on the type of work, the Case CX15 EV will provide enough power to work through a full eight-hour work day. A load-

sensing hydraulic system delivers smooth and powerful performance that allows the operator to dial the machine in to each task. “From reduced emissions to noise reduction and lower lifetime fuel and maintenance costs, the Case CX15 EV will be a powerful, efficient and sustainable addition to our mini excavator lineup,” said Brad Stemper, head of construction equipment product management — North America, Case. “This machine is the next step in our electrification journey — and we are committed to bringing the industry a complementary portfolio of diesel and electric equipment to meet the needs of the broadest range of applications and operations.” For more information, visit cnhindustrial.com. 

Bypass Project Requires Massive Earthmoving Operations BYPASS from page 24

The prime contractor for the Rockingham Bypass is Vecellio & Grogan Inc., based in Beckley, W.Va., awarded the contract at $146.1 million, as the lowest bidder among qualified contractors.

working in all but 1 mile of 7.2 future miles of roadway and completed construction of six reinforced box culverts.” The prime contractor is Vecellio & Grogan Inc. based in Beckley, W. Va., awarded the contract at $146.1 million, as the lowest bidder among qualified contractors. “They currently employ more than 50 workers who primarily work during daylight hours. More than 20 subcontractors will be directly involved with the project’s construction, from installing guardrail and signs to roadway soil-cement stabilization,” said Moody. “The surrounding community will experience temporary secondary road closures and detours, as well as lane closures on effected primary roadways to allow for construction of the roadway.” When completed, the project will have moved 7 million cu. yds. of earth. Mass earth moving equipment utilized in construction include Cat 777F, 773E and 745C off-road trucks; Cat 815 compactors; Cat 390 tracked excavators; Cat 16H graders; and numerous Cat D6 to D10 dozers. Among challenges faced during this project, Moody said, “The existing in-place earthen material used for roadway construc-

tion has presented a challenge to adequately compact and NCDOT has required a nearly three times increased material testing frequency to ensure adequate roadway fill compaction. COVID-19 has presented many issues for the contractor and material suppliers alike on this project, including labor shortages, material shortages and resulting in many price increases for construction materials.” “As we progress further along this year, the contractor will near completion on several mass hauls throughout the project and allow for fine grading, soil stabilization and paving efforts. Work also will begin on three bridge structure sites at grade separations on Old Charlotte Highway and Cartledge Creek Road,” said Cary Fine, resident engineer. Moody also shared that the design for the construction project, as an FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) requirement, accommodates traffic projected at 20 years out, or 2040. However, this doesn’t really speak to how long the road as built could last. Several factors could impact the need to maintain or resurface the roadway, including truck traffic, traffic volumes and wear from the elements, which make it hard to say with great certainty what the lifespan would be.  CEG

Industry Vehemently Opposes Suspension of Gas Tax Idea FUNDING from page 34

According to the Topeka Capitol Journal, just over 6,000 hybrid and EVs are registered in Kansas. That equates to .3 percent of all vehicles registered there. An increase is expected in the years to come, especially now that the Biden administration’s IIJA passed this past fall. In Kansas, EV users pay a $100 annual registration fee to offset lost gas taxes, but the Kansas Department of Transportation sees this as a temporary solution. KDOT Secretary Julie Lorenz likes the nationally-favored VMT model with a different rate for busier roads at peak travel times. She wants EV owners to think about transportation “as a utility.” Most states looking for solutions favor the VMT model, too. They’re estimating about a penny per mile. Oregon, Virginia and Utah have adopted some variation of this model in recent years, according to the Capitol Journal. Residents of Utah can pay a flat registration fee and enroll in a road

usage program at 1.52 cents per mile driven. “We’re smart to be thinking about what that looks like long term and I’ll tell you every single state is having a similar kind of conversation,” said Lorenz in addressing the state’s House Energy, Telecommunications and Utilities Committee. “Some states are ahead of us. But all the DOTs are worried about what it’s going to look like in the long run.” Georgia is considering a plan to offset revenue loss with a per-mile fee on drivers. News outlet The Center Square reports that a push is on to replace the state’s fuel tax with a per-mile highway fee to secure revenue as transportation technology evolves. “We’re going to need to replace the fuel tax as the primary source of highway funding,” Rober Pool, transportation expert, told a legislative panel this past fall. Currently, mileage-based user fee models require annual odometer readings, GPS trackers and other monitoring devices if a pre-

paid option is not included, according to The Center Square. In Utah, drivers report their mileage electronically, using a plug-in device in their cars or a smartphone app. They’re given the option to pay 1.5 cents per mile traveled or an annual flat fee of $120 for electric vehicles or $20 for gas hybrids, according to news service Axios. Oregon is testing funding models based on the time of day among other factors. User fees can help manage traffic congestion and address climate issues by charging different amounts based on region, road and time of day. However, the transponder technology required inside the vehicle faces opposition. Plus, rural drivers could pay more than urban and suburban residents. Adding Fuel to the Fire A group of congressional Democrats are floating the idea of suspending the gas tax for the year. Introduced early this month, the proposal is meeting with heavy,

vocal opposition from the construction industry. The day the proposal was introduced, ARTBA sent a letter urging the Senate “to resist this proposal.” Dave Bauer, ARTBA president, said the legislation “could open the door to unravelling the largest infrastructure package in American history.” He pushed the Senate to “instead focus on delivering the first year of promised investments by completing the FY 2022 appropriations process.” The proposed gas tax suspensions will likely have no impact on what drivers pay at the pump, said Stephen Sandherr, CEO of the AGC. Etchen agreed with Sandherr. “There’s no proof if this tax were suspended that the savings would be passed on to consumers by oil companies,” he said. Instead, it will hamstring President Biden in keeping his promise to fix roads and bridges that are “in desperate need of improvement across the country,” said Sandherr.

That’s because the “irresponsible measure” would leave a hole in the Highway Trust fund, he maintained. “Fuel prices are rising for a variety of reasons, including the fact demand is up while Democrats in Congress and the White House are pushing measures to limit domestic oil production,” he added. “Those factors have led to significant increases in the price of fuel and will not go away even if the federal fuel tax were to be temporarily waived.” Sandherr said instead of helping motorists, the proposal will drive up the cost of shipping and commuting. Growing congestion and worsening road conditions “will delay shipments, damage vehicles and undermine economic growth since there will be fewer funds available in the long-term to repair our transportation systems.” Ultimately, new taxes or additional deficit spending will force all taxpayers to pay for this proposal to plug the massive revenue holes it will create, he said.  CEG

Komatsu, TEC Help Support Hughs’ Growing Business HUGHES from page 12

dredge material. Hughes now works with the coal processing at the McDuffie Island site, where the sellable end product stays onsite. It’s virtually a recycling project making everything on the island usable product and as Hughes said, “it’s a never-ending process.” Because of the success derived from his amphibious excavator, Hughes has ordered another excavator in the exact same configuration from his TEC sales rep, Chris Howard, who he has been doing business with for more than 15 years. One of Hughes’ recent projects that required extreme precision in grading and infrastructure installation was a project near I-165 off Africatown Boulevard., a small community north of Mobile, Ala. “As general contractor, we performed about 90 percent of the work at this site, including the underground utilities, storm drain and everything needed to be ready for placement of a 4-piece, 5,000 square foot modular building. The modular custom-built facility was constructed offsite to become The Africatown Heritage House. The building houses some of the artifacts of the Clotilda, which was the last known slave ship that came to the United States.” A bit of history of this ship: In 1859, at the command of the ship’s owner, the Clotilda was taken upstream, burned and sunk to conceal the ship’s illegal slave trafficking activity. The ship was discovered 160 years later in 2019 along the Mobile River near 2 Mile Island. When Hughes was asked about the Africatown project, he said, “considering it was the last slave ship that came into the United States, and me being an African American contractor, I felt strongly that I needed to bid on this project and was delighted that I was the low bidder on it.” For accuracy on the Africatown project, Hughes sent in his newer Intelligent Machine Control Komatsu PC210 LCi excavator and D51 PXi dozer and was running Topcon electronics for machine control to ensure grades and everything were perfect for the project. Hughes had the model for the site set up by Terrain Technology and TEC’s technology rep,

Richie Sievering, assisted with other machine control set-up. Hughes has been utilizing machine grade control for more than four years, and said, “the technology makes me more competitive on bidding jobs. It saves me time because I don’t have to come back and shoot grades. Once a model of the site is built, it’s set until completion. Startup the machines and go to work — no guesswork.” Growth for Hughes over the years has led to the formation of DOT Construction Services Inc. and DOT Dirt LLC, which are subsidiary companies owned by Hughes’ wife and includes other machines, a fleet of dump trucks and fill dirt pits in the Mobile area. When asked about the challenges of his work and equipment, Hughes said acquiring material, material costs and actual lead time on ordering those materials have been the only major challenges on his job sites. No mention was made regarding challenges from his equipment. So, for his Komatsu machines, all is well. 

Utility work prior to bringing in the modular Africatown Heritage House was accomplished using a Komatsu PC210 LCi excavator.

Another Komatsu working at the Port Authority is a PC 300 that Hughes has owned for more than 15 years.

Fine grading at the Africatown project is done by an Intelligent Machine Control Komatsu D51 PXi dozer.

A Komatsu WA200 was used for stacking and laying pipe.

A crowd gathers at the Jeff Martin Auctioneers annual Florida auctions.

Jeff Martin Holds Annual Fla. Auctions in Kissimmee; Sells

The auction featured three bidding rings for each of the three days during which thousands of different types of construction and support equipment was sold to the highest bidder. During the sales, Jeff Martin Auctioneers also provided bidders with a special opportunity to bid on a custom-modified Harley Davidson motorcycle — the winning bid of $50,000 benefited K9s for Warriors, which is a charity and veterans service organization that provides service dogs to veterans. “To be able to provide a highly trained service animal who is also a companion to our veterans is important to us as a family and a company,” said Jeff Martin, CEO and president of Jeff Martin Auctioneers. “Our soldiers and veterans are willing to risk everything so we can have freedom. K9 for Warriors allows us, the people, a way to give back to our veterans.” “Last fall, Kellie [Martin] and I felt the call to give back,” he added. “2021 was a year of tremendous growth and a blessing for our company, and we were both raised to give thanks. Our appreciation for our

military and veterans and our love for our dogs came together in the K9 for Warriors Foundation. We set a goal to raise $100,000 for the year of 2022. We knew this was a big goal, but we also knew that we had generous bidders, sellers and staff.” Martin expressed gratitude to Michael Steel, a ringman, who offered to donate a motorcycle, restoration and paint job if the company would just buy the parts. “In December, you, the Jeff Martin Auctioneers staff gifted us with a $5,000 donation to launch the campaign,” Martin said. “Leading up to today, we raised money through the sale of hats and dog toys sold to our generous bidders. Today, because of all of you, we have raised $108,770. This was not an accident. Each and every one of you work long hours to set up this auction, provide excellent service to every seller, every buyer and person with outstanding customer service. We say, ‘Experience the Difference.’ Because of you, we are going to change the lives of at least four veterans and their families. Whatever the Kissimmee auction does this year will pale in comparison to this.”  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2022 Construction Equipment Guide. All Rights Reserved.)

Ritchie Bros. Debuts New Inspection Tool for Customers

mid a tight supply environment, Ritchie Bros. welcomed thousands of motivated buyers online and on site to its global equipment event in Orlando, Fla. Buyers from around the world needing to fill immediate gaps in their fleets converged for the auction, creating strong pricing for equipment items and trucks. When the auction yard dust settled, Ritchie Bros. sold more than 11,200 items for $213 million in the six-day event. Ritchie Bros. introduced a new online inspection tool that provided users with a 360-degree view of items selling, as well as an enhanced sale-day experience with live videos and bidder maps. Bidders also were able to take advantage of a new mobile experience for online bidding. “It was a thrill to bring people together in Orlando and see those important network connections in action,” said Ann Fandozzi, chief executive officer of Ritchie Bros. “It was exciting to welcome everyone back with an amazing customer appreciation event to kick off the week. Customers from all over had an opportunity to interact with each other, re-establish long-standing Ritchie Bros. relationships and meet new members of our team. It showed once again that Orlando is more than an auction. “We continue to work hard to evolve our sale-day experience, bringing together the best of both worlds — online and on site — and it was great to hear so much positive feedback,” added Fandozzi. “The technology we are providing continues to improve the buyer experience and we believe that contributed to the strong pricing we saw this week.” Buyer demand for the Feb. 21 to 26, 2022 auction also was strong, with a site-record of more than 26,200 bidders from 86 countries participating. Equipment views per lot increased 45 percent year-over-year from last year’s Orlando auction.

Ritchie Bros.’ Orlando site featured 200 acres of equipment. More than 1,130 consignors sold equipment located at the site, and virtually from six different Ritchie Bros. satellite yard locations, giving sellers an opportunity to reach Orlando’s global buyer audience. In a market environment where equipment is in short supply, buyers had a wide selection to choose from, including more than 400 excavators, more than 390 compactors, more than 230 skid steer loaders, more than 230 wheel loaders, more than 180 dozers, more than 100 cranes, more than 400 boom and scissor lifts and more than 370 truck tractors. Lots sold in the core categories of construction and transportation at Orlando were up year-over-year — more than 7,000 lots in 2022 versus more than 6,900 lots in 2021. Specific late-model highlights included a 2019 Caterpillar 745 articulated dump truck that sold for $405,000; a 2018 Cat D8T that sold for $430,000; and a 2019 Cat 336 tracked excavator that sold for $267,500. Approximately 84 percent of the equipment in the Orlando auction was purchased by U.S. buyers, including 22 percent purchased by Florida buyers. The remaining 16 percent of the equipment was sold to international buyers from as far away as Australia, Brazil, Germany and Japan. Among the sellers at Orlando this year was Florida-based Ring Power Corp. and Vallencourt Construction. “Orlando was a great sale,” said Frank Streva III, senior vice president of Ring Power Corp. “It was good to see all the buyers and sellers there at the event that kicks off the auction season. We sold everything from skid steers up to D8 dozers at the auction, had lots of bidding activity, and we had very strong pricing — we were very happy with the outcome.” “At this year’s auction, we sold excavators, bulldozers, trucks, off-road trucks, attachments and more,” said Daniel Vallencourt, vice president of Vallencourt Construction. “We’ve been doing business with Ritchie Bros. for 30 years, and they're always up front with us, treat us right, no surprises and we were glad to be back in Orlando.” Orlando capped off a big February for Ritchie Bros. After starting its auction season in Tipton, Calif., Ritchie Bros. went on to conduct a $59million record-breaking Phoenix auction and a $55-million Houston auction.  (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2022 Construction Equipment Guide.
