A quick note on last week’s blog post: Across the country, pavement and infrastructure is melting in these extreme summer temperatures the country is experiencing! Just a couple days after our ‘Paving through the Dog Days of Summer’ post, this article, via MSN, circulated throughout our company email distribution.  It’s amazing to hear how infrastructure in this country is being affected by recent weather.  I thought I would share it with the hopes that it’s cooling off wherever you’re working this week! 

“Melting Asphalt, Kinking Rail Tracks: Weather Extremes Buckle U.S. Infrastructure”

We talked about it last week, and its still here.  The heat just won’t go away.  We know you feel it, and we want to know how you beat it.

QPR ShopWorx reps are still trucking across the country to get the word out about our great products, but back at HQ the heat has us too tired to pitch you any products this week!  That’s why we want to hear from you about how your work is going this summer!  Whether you are working to keep the asphalt plant running all summer, applying sealer to 150 degree pavement, or you take care of over-stressed and over-heated underground utility lines, we want to hear from YOU!  How are you staying cool this summer, and how is your work holding up?  Every day we hear contractors telling us they are getting busier and putting more people to work.  Are you getting busier?  Do you see your workload increasing?  Drop us a line and let us know!  Feel free to leave your responses in the comments section of the blog, or email them to support@qpr.cc.  Include your name and address, and we’ll send you out a free QPR ShopWorx hat and t-shirt!

We appreciate your feedback!  Have a great rest of the week.
