I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn't repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Why would you want to think about it that much ?
There is a lot of heat escaping from the truck while it is waiting to be dumped and this creates temperature gradient inside the load. I didn't have to think about it that much because I worked for many years in asphalt surveillance.
Normally we don't use infrared cameras but we do have infrared heat guns and much more sophisticated devices.
Make up your mind. Either you are a socially inept person, a kid, a troll or all of the above.
