Understanding Job Zone Rates• All Park Paving Ltd. projects have a Job Zone Rate assigned to them which allows us to estimate the Haul Rate for that specific project. For most projects, this rate is what we use to pay our Hired Trucks per tonnage.

• Zone Rates are calculated through the following method:• Google Maps is used to find the 1-way trip time from the Park Paving Ltd. Asphalt Plant to the project

site, then multiplied by 2 to get the Round Trip Time.

• We add a 10 minute load factor at the Asphalt Plant and a 20 minute unload factor at the project site giving us the Total Round Trip Time

• The Total Round Trip Time is the number we use to calculate the Job Zone Rate (based on the Industry standard rate and an average load size for the material being hauled)
