Ahh well you aint gonna make a seam look amazing unless you hit it hot. We were running into this issue because we were doing alot of in city highway work, like 40-50 foot wide roads and 20 foot screeds, what we did was run 3 pavers side by side staggered by only 15 feet or so and that way we got all the seams really hot.
In smaller subdivisions, parking lots etc, you just have unload a few trucks then lift up and go back and keep that seam hot even if you have to leave joints.. Tell your roller man to stay about 6-7 inches away from the side and join em hot.
As for rolling if its hot i’ll go 6 to 9 inches in and pinch it then 3/4 drum on the way back on that pass , if its cold 2 flat mats, ill pinch that 2-3 inches in, I wouldnt reccomend leaving a cold seam in a parabolic road on the crown.
