I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

    Why would you want to think about it that much ?
    There is a lot of heat escaping from the truck while it is waiting to be dumped and this creates temperature gradient inside the load. I didn’t have to think about it that much because I worked for many years in asphalt surveillance.
    Normally we don’t use infrared cameras but we do have infrared heat guns and much more sophisticated devices.

      If you think about it very hard you can figure it out

      Don’t think about it so hard

      Make up your mind. Either you are a socially inept person, a kid, a troll or all of the above.

      Bye.
