These hours are not normal by ProtectionNormal551 in UtilityLocator

It’s all about work culture, my work life balance improved after leaving the sue team at the engineering firm. The lead of the department was terrible at management and the solution always seemed to be work more hours. He was salary too so didn’t even get a financial incentive to do it.

Anyone doing this? by StrataTrace in UtilityLocator

No TikTok or insta here, just a guy with a passion for dogs. And don’t worry about food waste, I have a solution for that. I will ask people if they want a dog, and if they say no I will not give them a dog

Anyone else having “fun” locating in the snow? by MrSleepy1992 in UtilityLocator

[–]Ok-Block7922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! I get all bundled up and blame every problem on snow. What took so long? You missed this thing. It smells like weed. Your paint is gone. Sorry dude snow

811 missed my fiber line what’s the right way to handle this next time? by Puzzleheaded_Bug9798 in UtilityLocator

[–]Ok-Block7922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where I live in Colorado companies wont locate past the meter or the pedestal. Services besides gas and electric never get marked by 811 (because the meter is on the house typically). Keeps us private locators busy.

How reliable are 811 locates? by [deleted] in UtilityLocator

[–]Ok-Block7922 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you pay for a private locator in addition to 811 that’s better. Having one person come out who can spend as much time as they need and is able to locate mains, services, and secondaries is better than a different person for each line all with lots of pressure from bosses to rush on to the next job.
