Nonetheless, Brodie Hutchins, vice president of dealer development for Wirtgen America was game enough to try and peer into the tea leaves and give contractors some thoughts on what to expect as 2021 comes into focus.Talking to customers is, naturally, a key element of Hutchins' job.

"That was one tremendous asset for our industry is that we, collectively, were deemed 'essential' and-in many cases-were able to keep right on going, because the work was there," he added. "It's pretty easy to 'social distance' on a jobsite. And, to be honest, the much lower traffic volumes we encountered as various parts of the country shut down at times, made jobsites much safer for our workers out there." |
