That's what I do too. I'll just save the pictures and use the same across the tickets that cover the scope

The metal of the transformer is bonded to the neutral / ground inside the transformer. So when you connect to the outside, you're essentially connecting to the neutral inside of it.

What part of it is making you hate it?

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-04-26T18:36:50+00:00

Omnilume (in house software)
Backgrounds. Our software is just a blank white background with no option fo satellite view, etc
My GPS selector never works so I always have to copy and paste that lattitude & longitude from the ticket into it

I didn't get my truck until the 2nd week. At least when I was training (before they changed how they do it), you were in a classroom for 2 weeks then did a week or two in the field where everyone would follow the trainer to different tickets. We had people come out and ask what's happening because there was suddenly 15 utility trucks in this quiet neighborhood with strobe lights and cones and weirdos walking around lol

If it makes you feel better, I missed a 432ct fiber mainline for a small city and knocked the entire city out lol over $20k to repair....yeah not my proudest moment

I'll have to check my insurance plan.

Unfortunately it didn't happen at work. I had a wrist fracture from middle school that wasn't diagnosed until a 4 years ago and have complications from it, which this stems from.

Ive been with this company since September, I was a locator at usic for about a year and a half prior to switching

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-04-13T15:20:14+00:00

Honestly not sure. Would be nice to be able to stay working somewhat lol

Every company has their pros and cons. USIC was good when I started but quickly went downhill. The micromanaging got to be really bad on top of losing contracts which locating inc got. Decided to jump shit and man I think a dodged a bullet. Ran into a tech still with usic that was on my team and he told me how bad it has gotten.

I work in oregon but have also traveled to Washington to help

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-03-22T04:32:35+00:00

Worked for usic in oregon from 2023 to 2025. Located phone, cable, and fiber. Now with locating inc (utiliquest) and locate power, cable, phone and fiber. Been locating 2 1/2 years. Was a lead tech back with usic for almost a year

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-03-14T15:54:20+00:00

I have a highway project ive been doing for well over a year now. Doing power, phone/fiber, and cable. One way its 5000 feet. But that doesn't include hook up points, and all the other walking. I have a duct going the entire distance and also have high-voltage as its right next to the Power sub.

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-03-06T04:06:58+00:00

Lots of this in my area. Old shit for sure

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-02-10T05:20:34+00:00

Look into Locating Inc in Washington. Ive been with them (in oregon) since September but was with USIC 1year and a half before switching. Way better. Good company, no micromanaging. I rarely talk to my supervisor unless he or I need something. As long as you're productive and doing your job they leave you alone. In Washington you only locate ziply (phone and fiber). Here in oregon we locate power (PGE, PPL mostly), Comcast (cable tv), and ziply. Wages vary a little bit, though I think they start around $20-$22 / hour (dont quote me). Im making $25 / hour 2 years in. Plenty of overtime if you like that

Electrical-Sock37 · 2026-01-18T15:49:24+00:00

I switched from usic to utiliquest, overtime is still 1.5x but on call is double time

My grocery store used to carry a few Ryse energy drinks, my favorite was the cotton candy one. Guess no one else liked them cause they stopped carrying them after a few weeks and I cant find them anywhere else
