How is business going this year, especially compared to 2020? Have you learned anything in particular about, hiring or maintaining this year that you didn't know in years past? How do you stay motivated, remind yourself of your values, and then project that on your company? What advantages do you feel ADC has over other companies that might be able to service large residential driveways? What can you provide companies in outlying areas who may not have as many options as far as paving? What can you provide them and what does it really do for their business and their property overall? Can you explain a little bit about how it's not only okay, but you really enjoy these jobs that are a little bit further out and how you can continue to be their partner from a further distance? What are some of the ways the customer might see pride in action with ADC over a typical paving contractor? What might customers experience that is a little bit different from conventions paving coming out and giving a bid? Can you explain a little bit about each of the services you offer and how you choose to really take care of the customer during that process? What is the customer experience like when someone first reaches out to ADC? Is there anything in the paving industry that's kind of grabbed you as surprising, different, or caught your eye about the industry in 2021? From an equipment standpoint, how is ADC actually able to handle large scope jobs? What's the best way for people to get ahold of ADC if they are wanting some asphalt paving work completed?
