A gentleman driving a red Silverado was driving like a maniac on Yale and I25. Speeding, weaving through traffic, not using turn signal, changing lanes on solid lines.

Critical: Professionalism Construction behind Newton Middle School (Arapahoe County) started at 4:30 AM today. The Industrial noise of the trucks and their activities was well above 75 db, as it shook my family out of our beds. This activity is clearly in violation of the Colorado Noise Statute 25-12-103 (maximum permissible noise levels 7 pm to 7 am).

The employees own the company and have vendors come in and explain finances. Amazing benefits package for the employees

If you need a job they are always hiring. Not a good company to work for unless ur a foreman, manager, or superindenent. The leadership is selfish, lazy, and think they are better than the workers that make them money. Ill give one example of my experience with their management. I showed up at 630 am to work after taking the bus. Work does not start until 700 am. I went to sit in the lobby of the safety office to keep warm until work started.
It was 20 degrees outside. I was told that I was not allowed to wait in the lobby and I had to stand for 30 minutes in the freezing cold before work started. This incident shows to me how little this company and its management team really care for their workers.
