New Asphalt Driveway

I have recently had my driveway capped with new asphalt. My mh, 26000 lbs, still parked on the curb for about a week now. Been really hot. My asphalt guy says a week should be long enough. I've been advised to park it on 3/4 inch plywood to prevent dents. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Plywood will spread the weight out. Odds are it will leave a good depression. The asphalt will need to cool before parking to help slightly. I am talking down in the 30-40s.

    I would put some 1" waterproof plywood under the tires myself. The plywood will distribute the weight over a larger area. It may not be perfect, but it should help anyway. Or you could pour concrete pads too.....
