Have you ever driven a steamroller?

The county is paving my street today, and just after the asphalt is spread, a guy comes behind him on a steam roller, back and forth, smoothing things out.

It looks like a ton of fun. And it’s pretty hard to screw up what you’re doing.

Have you ever driven a steam roller?

No, but I would imagine that watching the asphalt getting flatter and smoother and more compact as you drive would be very satisfying. Immediate reward for work done.

No, but there are businesses that let you drive or be a passenger in big machines like that. Here’s a link to Extreme Sandbox https://www.extremesandbox.com/

You might be able to ride along (if there are two seats) with a company near you as a vocational curiosity.
