Basically all road maintanence in my city is done with 4x10.

The reason? We city boys don't know how to hold a shovel, so all the guys doing the work are shipped in from the countryside were people learn how to drive a tractor before they learn how to write. Most of them go home to their hometowns in the weekend because of the cost and their families.

Road crews where I live work up to 24 consecutive 16-hour days. They have a section carved out in the labor laws for them. Only a few months a year to work on asphalt up here.
