How a paving "pave train" works: local presenter walks through the machines and sequence
Resident, Presenter, offered a step-by-step explanation of how contractors organize a paving operation often called a “pave train,” describing the typical sequence of equipment and what each machine does.

The presenter described water trucks as dust-control units, tack trucks as vehicles that spray an adhesive substance to help asphalt bind, and dump trucks and material-transfer vehicles (MTVs) as the means of delivering hot mix asphalt to the paver. The paver accepts the material in a hopper and feeds it through a conveyor to a screed, which lays the material. A roller or compactor follows to compact the newly laid asphalt. The presenter said a line-painting truck typically follows after the pavement has cured.

The segment was instructional and did not attribute technical standards or regulatory limits to any authority; it described common contractor practice as observed or summarized by the presenter.
