Billy is a 12-year employee who started working in Oxford before transferring to Duke’s crew very quickly. “I like the people and the job’s great. I work with a bunch of great people. There’s not anything I would change.”
“Billy’s particular about his machine,” said paving foreman, Duke Watt about Billy Riggs, the rubber tire man on his crew. “The entire crew has bought into TPR, but Billy lives by it. He keeps his equipment clean and it’s always up to spec.” Billy added, “TPR is a good thing. Before TPR, the equipment was rough. I even ran a few with no brakes. Now, with a little effort, it’s a lot less work and the equipment runs a whole lot better.”
