More than ten years ago, Darin Stroud, Hammett Excavation’s Project Manager, wouldn’t describe himself as a “tech guy” but a dozer operator by nature. But his and his team's passion propelled their growth in GPS technology to achieve the right grade, and now he can’t imagine not using technology.

Stroud explains how GPS technology integrated with a project's CAD (Computer Aided Design) files implemented into machines minimizes pre-construction meetings and increases productivity by up to 70%.

Senior Vice President of Equipment and Host of the Track, Dennis Howard, discusses Hammett Excavation’s technology evolution by partnering with RDO. Discover how GPS technology is growing skills and increasing productivity.

The Track is a web series from RDO Equipment Co., hosted by Senior Vice President of Equipment Dennis Howard. Check out more episodes here.
