The way it’s Don is really not good!
All they do is put lital rox in the hole
It’s really bad for the cars!
And wen rain comes, of course it gets washed away
they should just do it the old way with the truck that flatens the rox after

Were these the ones filled with the pot hole buster or just cold patch thrown down and tamped down with a shovel?

Excellent point. Thx. But I think the problem is note the adhesion of the new truck to the old tar. Apparently, that PotHole Killer is not a killer after all.

this is what happens when the township looks for a “cheap fix” by just “patching” potholes instead of properly fixing them. ‘ penny wise and pound foolish’!

I may be wrong, but at one time I looked into these pothole killer trucks. From what I remember, it is very limited in what it can fill.

It uses a liquid tar to fill the wholes as opposed to asphalt, as opposed to asphalt, and it is not really effective on deeper potholes.
