Before dawn on the West Shore, the only lights are the Goethals span and whatever is already moving on the service roads. Out past Bloomfield the lots are wide and the wind comes across them unbroken, so a night of snow leaves acres that have to be pushed somewhere before anyone arrives. Pave USA INC works that scale — plowing lots and drives end to end, stacking the piles where they won't refreeze across a lane, clearing walkways, and salting the surfaces that matter. There's a plain pleasure in standing at the edge of a finished lot at 5 a.m. with the pavement showing black. Then on to the next one, ahead of the traffic.
