Search by city and state, zip code, or full address. The tool finds asphalt plants within your chosen radius using OpenStreetMap data.

Haul time matters more than distance

HMA should reach the paver within 30–45 minutes of leaving the plant. At highway speeds that's roughly 20–30 miles, but factor in traffic and plant queue times when planning.

Call ahead — always

Most plants need 24–48 hours notice for large orders and prefer same-day calls for small loads. Confirm mix type availability, price per ton, and truck turnaround times.

Plant not listed?

OSM data improves over time. If a local plant is missing, you can add it at openstreetmap.org — it takes 5 minutes and helps every contractor in your area.

HMA plant questions

How far can hot mix asphalt be hauled?

HMA should be placed within 30–45 minutes of leaving the plant. That's roughly 20–30 miles at highway speeds. Mix temperature must stay above 275°F at laydown — longer hauls need insulated trucks or warm-mix additives.

What mix types do plants typically carry?

Most plants run dense-graded HMA in surface, intermediate, and base course grades. Specialty mixes (SMA, OGFC, polymer-modified) are made to order and require advance notice — usually 48–72 hours. Always confirm mix availability before scheduling a job.

How is asphalt priced?

HMA is priced per ton at the plant gate. Price varies by mix type, binder content, and local market. It fluctuates with oil prices — expect ±10–15% variance between seasons. Most plants publish weekly or monthly pricing.

Do plants serve contractors directly?

Yes, most HMA plants sell directly to contractors. Some large plants prioritize DOT and municipal contracts during peak season and may limit contractor capacity. Independent plants are often more flexible on small loads.
